With the passing of the elegant Anne Bass, when sh With the passing of the elegant Anne Bass, when she was in her twenties, she and her husband joined forces with the two greatest visionaries, Paul Rudolph and Gardner, Russell Page, and created this mirage on Earth in Fort Worth, Texas. I had the privilege of dressing Anne, and she was as quiet and elegant as this oasis.
Happy Birthday God’s Nurse.... Earth’s Mother, Happy Birthday God’s Nurse.... Earth’s Mother, Jane Goodall. Years ago I was going through a particularly annoying interview and it hit why I do not participate with the red carpet society..... it became accusatory and dark, as if I had been acting condescending. Thus I said that I really do not fit in there.... but I do aspire to dress those that lead our planet and species to higher awareness, like Jane Goodall, The Dalai Lama, Elsa Peretti, Patti Smith...... AND, I have.
You must realize that it takes a life time of cons You must realize that it takes a life time of constant restraint and reduction to discover the beauty, essence, and Reason for such a piece of wearable art... Elsa Peretti’s sterling silver mesh scarf. Adore and cherish you Elsa! X.

I think the most beautiful husband and wife , here captured with us witnessing such love, depth of connection, and such intense personal style. Mr. Yul and Dorris Brynner. What man have you ever seen with such individuality to carry a Cartier Bagnoire watch over his sleeve, and a cabochon ruby on his small finger. The King and The Empress of Siam. Shudder.

The genius of creating a Saturn ring within a worl The genius of creating a Saturn ring within a world to render wonder, inspiration, and potential. An Enamel, or Cloisnee ring set in gold by Jean Schlumberger . It’s important to revere during this time.
It was perhaps 1989 - 1991.... some where within t It was perhaps 1989 - 1991.... some where within that time. I had a small studio apartment off Park Avenue, so I always entertained thinking that it was necessary and important that practice. I always did theme dinners most usually centered around Elsa, Schlumberger, Mme. Gres, and the great Pauline de Rothschild. I was a boy in my twenties.... well on one particular night my dearest, Dianne Fisher Martinson— before she married Bob, said she had two Prime, front and center seats to the performance of THE GRAND KABUKI. So we had dinner in my apartment—- total chinoiserie., I made small three course dinners for us. The table was propped with Avedon’s Geshia photohgraphs..... and draped Racine matte jersey Fabric...... in the tub with black Siamese fighting fish swimming below. With that behind us we are off to Lincoln Center and find ourselves sitting in the center, five rows from the stage. We are engrossed in our Kabuki programs, imagining living in such wonder normally. Slowly I look up and begin to notice the ENTIRE front, sides, balcony above audience members staring directly at us.... I was in a shock because hundreds of eyes were on us. I elbowed Dianne, and she whispered to look behind..... perhaps someone was seated behind us. As I turned my head, in total awe, there she was in regal dignity whispering into the ear of Mr. Maurice Templesman , Mrs. Jacqueline Onassis, in black VALENTINO couture and those freak of nature pigeon blood ruby and diamond earrings that Onassis gave her as his wedding present. She Is/Was the most charismatic woman, with amazing self control. All I could do was think about how she had to live life with in this magnifying glass, with everyone thinking that they had the Right to study her. Her grace, carriage, poise, elegance was staggering. But, least we forget where we were. As the extraordinary candle like chandeliers collapse and lift upward, and the house lights go down, you hear in the darkness: TONIGHTS PERFORMANCE OF THE GRAND KABUKI WILL FEATURE: TOMASOBURO BANDO, THE NATIONAL LIVING TREASURE OF JAPAN..... Talk about something to recalibrate Mrs. O..... I will never forget the performance of the National Living Treasure.
God appeared over London this weekend people...... God appeared over London this weekend people...... he is often over our skies..... go outside and look. He just wants to tell us that we will be find if we take the lesson deep within us.

I was once in the presence of this great, humble m I was once in the presence of this great, humble man as we were both recipients of honorary doctorates from a university. During the green room greetings I told him how honored I was to meet him and how his mind directed so much of our civilization since he is an Einstein. He laughed and did not thank me but said that he would give anything to think in abstract, artistic images..... so you see, leadership and wisdom is within each one of us, if we are only calm and open.

Babies!!! Halston and Pat Ast the night that he re Babies!!! Halston and Pat Ast the night that he received his Coty Hall of Fame Award. Instead of having a fashion show for his segment’s presentation, he had Pat Ast, Liza, Baby Jane, Karen, Elsa, Chris, Pat Cleveland, Lily Auchincloss, Betsy Kaiser all in H doing different odd things on stage..... everyone was high. Now Pat oversaw the made to order clients. She went from Warhol actress to Directress, to Broadway actress, to Hollywood Sunset Blvd. Aloneness.

She assumed that friends could present something to conversation, thus she had NO tolerance for bores. It was so much fun to hear her go on about this!
