FRIDA! FRIDA KAHLO. I LOVE THIS PAINTING. It cost me a lot of money. Ashley Longshore painted it – she's my goddaughter. She and my daughter went to school together. They were truants together. Her mama put her in boarding school and I put Amy in boarding school, and that's how we all met. She lives in New Orleans now. She's an amazing artist. SO MANY OF THESE PAINTINGS ARE MINE. The flowers, the trees, the camellias, the chair. That's Chuck's sister Judy. This is one of my first paintings – it's the same interior that's in the other room in here. THOSE ARE CHUCK'S HANDS. We had them cast. We also got a set of our hands together, of us holding hands – that's in our house in Savannah. Get this – the woman who cast these was blind. She came to our house, of course she had someone to drive her, and cast our hands using this bucket of green slime.
