"They think I’m Jewish,” he says. “I’m in the Jewish book of famous people. But as far as, you know, on the professional level, I think it’s pretty common knowledge that I’m half black or whatever. I was never really fazed by the, sort of, the color barrier, you know?” Slash, the former lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses, is talking.

I first met Yves Saint Laurent on
Novermber 1, 1977 at a party
he gave for his new collection.
Andy Warhol was there too.
Twenty-two years later,

interpretor, as
her French was better than mine.
RIP...YSL
