Spend A weekend with Phyllis Diller at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. That's just what Daeida Magazine did in mid-June and what a delight to be in the company of Madam, her art, the fabulous magicians and all of Madam's fabulous friends and fans!
Gor Megaera, Daeida's resident photographer and Daeida editor David Ybarra spent Father's Day/Summer Solstice weekend (June 20th-21st) as part of Madam Diller's entourage courtesy of Madam's selecting of Gor to be her personal photographer. What a treat! In the company of such stars as Florence Henderson, Tippi Hedren, Alison Arngrim and many others, Madam Diller delighted & dazzled art collectors, magicians and fans with over an hour of stories and memories (moderated by Harlan Boll) and afterwards signed artworks and photographs for collectors who snapped up original works of art, rare albums, one-of-a-kind items like a cigarette holder from Madam's stand-up act, and copies of her autobiography, "Like A Lampshade In A Whorehouse." Here are some pictures (more to come) from the event:
