The Elsie/Ludwig story ends with Mother keeping the Mink she desired and billing Ludwig for it after he spent the night at her home...passed out drunk therefore pondering how to it off, she covered him and left a note/bill he read upon awakening.The Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159724663060240920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-6999177960499047412012-08-20T14:19:18.276-04:002012-08-20T14:19:18.276-04:00They are in Beverly Hills Neiman Marcus - downstai...They are in Beverly Hills Neiman Marcus - downstairs in the hallway off the restrooms! Go figure! Always a tinge of early Picasso, a dash of Berard and mixed generously with Laurencin in my opinion, but you can't top cocktails in the Cafe Carlyle or at Bemelmans for that Cafe Society faux christening!<br /><br />As Elsie said to Ludwig...Mother kept you warm last night with her mink, wasn't it warm....that'll cost you a pretty PENNY!The Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159724663060240920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-4026736702569191172012-08-20T11:29:24.255-04:002012-08-20T11:29:24.255-04:00Delightful portraits, and I'm not at all surpr...Delightful portraits, and I'm not at all surprised that Stanley Marcus snapped them up.

I read that Marcus book a long time ago, but there were so many adventures in it that they all blur together.Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-76932385662969983352012-08-20T08:43:32.210-04:002012-08-20T08:43:32.210-04:00I have childhood memories of the Vertes "Impr...I have childhood memories of the Vertes "Improbable Portraits," hanging on the second floor of Neimans' downtown Dallas store. They amused (and refined) me while my Mother shopped. They were looted from the Dallas store (along with most of the best art) after the CHH acquisition of Neimans. I think they're in one of the California stores now, the new "flagships" of the company. They're missed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11522707705809603748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-62369416878154357172012-08-20T02:30:01.369-04:002012-08-20T02:30:01.369-04:00OH, of course, I just read the first part (are you...OH, of course, I just read the first part (are you drowning in email)?<br /><br />and answered like a complete twer!<br /><br />Didn't read the rest until NOW!<br /><br />What a lovely post you did.....and I sincerely appreciate it all!<br /><br />Much love,<br /><br />PennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
