All the little details are so intriguing...

Like the socks and watches and toothbrushes turning away from each others

And patterns of their clothes and the couches

And the little wind-up baby toy

I just love things like this.
Attention to detail.
It's a little bit precious, but totally enjoyable (if you're me).

Complete Artistic Communion, he said.

"For me there is no hierarchy in art.

Things have an inherent quality or they don't.

A collection is like a dinner party. It is made up of the people you invite, but also the people you don't. There are also, of course, the ones who couldn't make it.

...

It would never have crossed Yves's mind to say to me, "Ah, I saw a Picasso..." He knew perfectly well what was interesting with Picasso, as did I.

But let's talk about that for a moment, about the couple that Yves and I were.

Like all couples we went through "storms," as the Jacques Brel song says.

But if there's one area where we never had the slightest disagreement, it was art.

Never. Not once.

Not about painting, not about opera, not about theatre.

We were always in complete communion.

Of course, that's how all of the collection came into being."

--Pierre Bergé to Judith Benhamou-Heut in Interview, Feb. 08

{speaking of the upcoming auction of the art collection he created with his longtime partner, Yves Saint Laurent, during their 50 years together}

I love dinner parties I don't have to wear makeup to

Grate the cheese.

Sauté the pears, apples, and soy bacon.

Steam the vegetables with some Tony's for good measure.

Bake up a pear and gouda bread pudding and serve to your pals. Nom.

An Open Letter: Macy's Department Store

Dear Macy's,

No one is likely to forget the date of Valentine's Day. Duh.

Also, please refrain from shoving all this pink kerfuffle in my face until such time as I have completely finished going through the 75%-off Christmas sale bins. I am still working on that.

With appreciation,

Chelsea
