Elsa Peretti, Star Designer of Elegant Jewelry, Dies at 80

NYT: “After arriving in New York in the late 1960s, Ms. Peretti was an immediate hit as a runway model for designers like Halston, Issey Miyake and Giorgio di Sant’Angelo. One day she decided that she wanted to try her hand at designing a piece of jewelry, inspired by something she had seen at a flea market.”

The Washington Post: “Peretti partied with Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger, and Elizabeth Taylor, and by her own admission spent years subsisting on ‘little more than caviar, cocaine, vodka, and cigarettes.’”

Scotty Bowers, Who Wrote of Providing Sex to Stars, Dies at 96

“My operation — if you want to call it that — was not a prostitution ring,” he wrote. “I was simply providing a service to those who wanted it and, as recorded history has shown, throughout the ages there has always been a need for good, old-fashioned, high-quality sex.”
