HAPPY....CAREFUL YEAR 2016!

The year of all the dangers....

«I LIKE EVERYBODY'S ART»

HOLLYWOOD

«One fascinating thing about Hollywood is that it's filled with these petite, fragile beauties in their seventies and eighties that you see at all the premieres and things. You can tell they were once really beautiful because they still have that glamour aura around them, and they still hold themselves together really well. But you can't figure out who they are, or what roles they had or how they live today».


-Andy Warhol

THE SIGN OF A REAL ARTIST

PHILOSOPHY FOR THE 21st CENTURY: EDUCATION 101

They always say young people should listen to old people. I never understood it. I mean young people are better -looking. Old people should listen to young people.

THE BEAUTY OBSESSION

«Some people think it's easier for beauties, but actually it can work out a lot of different ways. If you're beautiful you might have a pea-brain. If you're not beautiful you might not have a pea-brain, so it depends on the pea-brain and the beauty. The size of the beauty. And the pea-brain.»

-The philosophy of Andy Warhol

«MY FAVORITE THING TO BUY IS UNDERWEAR»

MADONNA ABOUT NEW YORK CITY

"It's not the exciting place it used to be. It still has great energy; I still put my finger in the socket. But it doesn't feel alive, cracking with that synergy between the art world and music world and fashion world that was happening in the 80s. A lot of people died."

YOUTH IS MADE TO BE COCKY AND SHOW OFF

CALVIN KLEIN

“Got to Fire island and had lunch at an outdoor spot. We decided to call Calvin's and he said to come right over. And Calvin's house is right off Ocean Walk and there's 8,000 boys around it, and a lot of girls, too, and they're all walking around wanting to be discovered for a jeans ad».

«PEOPLE IN UNIFORM ALWAYS LOOK SO GREAT»

BATMAN ET L'ART POP

L'art Pop dans les années 1960 se faisait éclatant, jusque dans la série télévisée Batman. Les célèbres Pow, Wham ou Boum des scénes de combats contre les vilains trouvèrent d'ailleurs un écho fort intéressant lorsque en 1966 Roy Lichtenstein fut invité à réaliser la couverture de Batman pour le TV Guide de l'époque.

DIVINE PUNISHMENT

-A guy came over and said that he had the biggest cock in L.A , so I offered to sign it and Marisa got so excited she leaned over to look at the cock and her hair caught fire in the flames of a candle, it was like instant punishment.

POLITICS

People are not turning to right wing parties. They are escaping from the abyssal stupidity of the current left. Nobody on the left never heard about the «reluctant conservative» concept?

POLITESSE

En marchant aujourd'hui, j'arrive devant une porte aiors qu'un superbe jeune couple dans la vingtaine y arrive dans l'autre sens. Ils m'invitent d'un geste à passer. Je souris mais leur dit poliment: «Mais non, ce n'est pas comme cela. La jeunesse et la beauté d'abord. Les vieillards de plus de 35 ans ensuite.» Les deux éclatent de rire...et passent devant moi en me remerciant. Merci à mes parents de m' avoir appris la vraie politesse.

OBAMA

Obama was elected because the banks gave more money to the Democrats than to the Republicans. Bush and the Christian right were too ideological, therefore not good for the «America inc» brand worldwide.
