I went to this thing at Colette in Paris after reading about it in New York magazine. It looked like a great opportunity to take some funny pics of me snorting my favorite fashions.
Only, I forgot how pretentious these people can be. When the gallerist saw me pull out my camera and my rolled-up 20 euro bill he ran over all, “Ah la la la non non non.” We argued for a bit and he said he had to call the press agent to know if it’s okay.
I ignored him and began anyway. He ran back over in his cool outfit and expensive sneakers and said I had to stop because it was “unethical towards the artist.” What the fuck??? The guy makes logos out of coke and shows them at a Parisian fashion boutique and he’s talking about ethics? Who cares? What a bunch of hypocrites.

I would hope the artist, obviously having a sense of humor in general, for making these awesome “sculptures” would have a laugh at someone pretending to snort a Gucci logo. If he/she? doesn’t, well then he’s just a prick. Just like that Colette employee. I would snort the Versace, in homage to Donatella’s legendary hoovering in her high heydays.
