Edwige Belmore RIP

Edwige Belmore arrived on the Paris scene in 1978 to become the doorperson at La Palace.

Blonde, punky, and lesbian her haughty demeanor put the Parisiennes in their place and served as Jean-Paul Gaultier's muse in that age of chaos. I met her in 1982 when I worked the door at the Rex for Actuel Magazine. Her friends; Paquita, Krootchey, Fharida, Claude, Tristan et al were my friends. Our worlds intertwined in New York. Sadly she passed from this world on Septerber 15, 2015.

That moment comes to us all.

But never yesterday.

The Eternal Ugliness Of Serge

I've succeeded at everything except my life. I know my limits. That's why I'm beyond. I like the night, I have clearer ideas in the dark. I prefer ugliness to beauty, because ugliness endures. I am incapable of mediocrity. Ugliness is superior to beauty because it lasts longer.

Serge Gainsbourg

And let's not forget the immortal Pacadis.

Moi et Pacadis 1985

Ah Paris.

The City of Light.
