While Tom named some of his plants after Twin Peaks characters (Catherine, Laura Palmer, Audrey) and Johnny often plays music to his "little ones," Mel decided that he didn't want to become too attached to his plants.

Ghost, designed by Tanya Sarne -- who is also English -- was back in the black-and-white era too: waterfall dresses, flowing crepe trousers...
...made by Paris' reigning couturier, Cristobal Balenciaga, but the great man turned her away. The rejected muse then turned to another, younger designer, and it was rare affection at first sight.
