Okay - I remember reading this *somewhere,* and now I just can't seem to track it down.
The vest he wore was made by a friend...do we know who?
And are all his cats pictured on that vest?
''He loved the waistcoat which he wore for this shot It was a present from Joe's friend Donald McKenzie who with the help of Joe had managed to get hold of photos of all Freddie's cats and had given them to a friend of his who had painted them onto the silk body of the waistcoat.''
Peter Freestone. From ''Mister Mercury'' link
Go on this link for photos and more info. Does not give the name of the artist/designer who painted them onto Freddie's waistcoat though.
Thanks!
ETA: LOL - on that website, I *accidentally* clicked on a cat on the vest picture, and it took me to another pic of the cat pictured!
Apparently you can do this with all the cats on that vest picture.
Am I too easily amused, or what?
