...Look." Into a Sherwood Forest setting enhanced by a pair of real copper beech trees trooped the svelte St. Laurent mannequins-all bundled up in shirts, jerkins, tunics, dark knitted hose and seven-league boots. A big hit of the collection was a costume consisting of tight pants, mid-thigh-length boots and a hair seal pullover, with a Robin Hood hat and chained pendant. Pageboy hairdos were common...

In this rite the worshiper slashed his own finger or eyelids, allowed the blood to soak into porous paper, which was then burned in small clay bowls...

I have no message for suffering humanity and, though I was bullied at school and lost my virginity like so many of us used to in the old days, I have never been tempted to foist these harrowing personal experiences on the public...
