Words of Smoking Writers : Chomsky, Crumb, et al...



Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say somthing true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune.


-Noam Chomsky
What the hell is this?? Who can tell me?? Does anybody know?? How can I find out more about it?? One thing's sure: the human mind can't "know" it...why does one want to "know"??
-Robert Crumb

Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.
-Jean Paul Sartre
There is a way to master silence
Control its curves, inhabit its dark corners
And listen to the hiss of time outside
-Paul Bowles

A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.
-Rudyard Kipling

The Halston Eyewear Looks

For New York City Discotheque, Halston prefers black sunglasses with matching turtleneck and white blazer.

For business meetings, Halston prefers to look over top of black sunglasses in white button up dress shirt and black blazer.

For Acapulco, Halston and the "Haltonettes" opts for slippers, no pants, black crewneck tee with mirrored sunglasses.

Above, Halston with bottles of his eponymous perfume released in 1975. Halston fought to maintain control over every aspect of his original fragrance, which was complicated since Halston had sold the licensing rights to his name two years earlier in 1973. Max Factor, the controlling company he was paired with; wanted to put the scent in a square bottle 'Halston Nights'. He insisted on using the now famous 'bean' bottle designed by his friend Elsa Peretti and called the scent Halston. It went on to become a juggernaut known as Halston Classic. According to some it is the number two selling fragrance of all time, right behind Chanel No 5.
