The plane seems exultant now, even arrogant. We did it, we did it! We're up, above you. We were dependant on you just now, prisoners fawning on you for favors, for wind and light.

When my Azzedine jacket from 1987 died, I wrapped it up in a box, attached a note saying where it came from and took it to the Salvation Army. It was a big loss.

Andre Leon Talley
Image
I note the derogatory rumors concerning the use of alcoholic stimulants and lavish living. It is the penalty of greatness.
