I have Little Jimmy who lives on my liver, Nadine the drag queen, and Navé, James Navé as in Bond, James Bond. Julia offers Martyred Mary, Bon Bon, Dash, Reliable Ralph, and Dashing David. Do you have secret selves inside you? Do they have names? What garments will we find hanging in their closets? www.jamesnave.com
