From an Interview Magazine interview where Bianca Jagger asked Yves Saint Laurent the questions.

Binaca: Aren’t there qualities you look for in people?

Yves: No, because ultimately the qualities I see in people are what I perceive them to be. It is my own vision of people that counts. It’s all projection. If I am deceived it’s my own doing. What interests me is my vision of others.

This is reprinted in the book The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake.

I read this book for at least seven hours today but I can’t stay awake any longer and I have to be at a job in five.

1. My friend Judith Hollander worked with Warhol’s sometime boyfriend Jed Johnson and knew all therse people. She didn’t like St. Laurent but she got invited to Halston’s apartment right after it had been done all in white satin. She was so nervous she dropped black chocolate cake on the sofa cushion so she waited until nobody was looking and turned it over because she knew if Halston saw it he’d kill her.

3. Dude. I remebered from three or four years back you talking about this young philosophers thing. I thought of it yesterday on the EL for some reason. Maybe I had nothing better to think about. I found the site today. Its tits. Nice work. Email me your mailing address. I have something from an aging philospoher that I think you might like. The Suntimes Headline yesterday was “It Wasn’t Me.” Today it was “No He Didn’t.” God’s Speed Mr. Kelly.
