“ONCE UPON A TIME”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

………These photos were taken many many years after the photos of Donna and myself on Fire Island……………Once upon a time I went to a wedding…………It was the wedding of my friend Donna Karan and Stephen Weiss…….It was in September of 1983, and it was the HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!!! I mean sweltering, and incredibly humid. I remember the morning of the wedding I decided to give up the suit I was planning to wear in favor of white shorts and a blue dress shirt [sleeves rolled up] with a pink knit tie….Jac was wearing a pink cashmere knit tank short dress and matching shawl that Donna had picked out for her. It was Sept , and we had no idea it was going to be SOOO HOT! She was dying in that outfit while I was relatively cool……The ceremony was outdoors, but the reception was under a tent which made it even hotter!….So we drank!…and drank and drank! By the end of the evening we were feeling NO pain, and the heat didn’t bother us at all!!! The photo at the left is of me licking the wedding cake off my fingers, and on the right is the happy couple…..In the center is me sitting on Marc Balets lap! Marc was the art director on many of our AK ad campaigns and look books. Why I’m sitting on his lap I don’t recall, but I’m sure Marc will be amused to see it….I can only say we were very drunk and having a good time…..In the back to the right….the guy with his hand on his chin is Greg Mills. He worked for us at AK and he was a great friend. Sadly, Greg recently passed away……Marc just recently moved out of NYC after decades, and is now living in upstate Ct….a sort of neighbor…Stephen also passed away many years ago, a great loss…….It’s wonderful to have these photos to remember the GOOD TIMES!
