Nancy: I would like to think that you meant 'With Vincent, Dean has outdone imself'.

I know that i justly deserve credit for most of the good things that happen not just in 'Bananas' but in the whole wide world (including IUOMA, of course), but the van Gogh Goes to Arles and Draws a Bridge thing is not mine.

PS There is no truth in the rumour that Dean and I are really the same person. there are two of us. One is a brilliant mail artist. The other wears silly hats.

Carina, I hope you are enjoying my drawing on the Vincent letter.  Your drawing lessons inspired this piece.  "Carina says just draw", this is what I was telling myself while making it.  I knew you would be proud of me for trying to draw a bridge.

Martha at one time mentioned these types of letter that were written.  While we were in Arles, we saw one of them at the Van Gogh fondation ... I think it was there.  Not sure?  Anyway it gave me the idea.

So funny - enjoying you people a lot and Vincent of course!

With Vincent, Val has outdone himself. I'm still laughing my head off. And I love the crossed out date.

Bonsoir! The Great Banana Shopping Trolley Adventure obviously has to call in at Arles as well as where Vincent van G ate his first banana in the Nethrelands when he was growing up. MailArt M: are you going to where a Chiquite banana dress when you go to Arles? if so, please could we see a photo of you in it before tou leave the Mall, just in case you are in breach of the local (un)dress code?

(i cannot leave this. it is addictive) Katherina this song comes from another not so clean and certainly not commercial in portuguese, which translates as ;

Chiquita bacana ( bacana is sort of cheeky) from Martinique, she dresses in the skin of a 'nanica' banana (I undestand that is a very small banana) She doesn't wear a dress she doesn't have shoes, winter is for her as the middle of summer and i do not know the rest. Used to be singed by Carmen Miranda with her banana hat.

I have very good news; Vincent Van Gogh is alive and well in Arles! I got a superb postcard from him, and I think he qualifies as a Superbanana. Judge for yourselves.

I am really worried about Dean, he burnt Zombie Kitty Kawaii to cinders and now drove Vincent to cut his ear, yet he refuses to wear bananas...

( Val, this is seriously good,even banana challeged relatives have laughed their heads off)

Now I really have to be AFK for a few days.

Louise that hat is by far less banana despite its bananas than the silly things that are worn today. Well done I shall get myself one too.But  I am dissapointed at you Dean, i had you as the original Bananaman, the Superhero with the banana suit and the ballon glasses.He would not be afraid of wearing bananas. A STG banana event should be possible, Val, we eat a lot of bananas so it has to carry them like it or not. So thank you Ernie for the logo I will download it.

Louise...that is super fun: Banana Hat. And Dean has banana glasses.

I'll just have to get out my old banana hat too (it's BLUE, of course :-)

I'm Chiquita Banana, and I've come to say 
Bananas have to ripen in a certain way. 
And when they are flecked with brown 
and have a golden hue, 
Bananas taste the best, and are the best for you. 
You can put them in a salad. You can put
them in a pie - aye.
Anyway you want to eat them it's 
impossible to beat them.
But bananas like the climate of the very,
very tropical equator.
So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator.

The combo of Balloon Glasses and Banana would be quite stunning actually. You could start a new trend on the Parisian KAT walks.
