One of my favorite things in this life is Andy Warhol. I am surprised, probably as you are, to learn that he pretty much lived in a pig sty collecting anything in boxes, sealing and dating them, and storing them away. The Andy Warhol Foundation had dedicated $600K USD to catalog, research and archive these boxes, which is said to include a nude autographed photo of Jackie Kennedy. I would LOVE to be one of the archivists on this dream job, not for the Jackie O part, but for the volumes of things to be learned from history.

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008My two favorite things: Andy Warhol and Lexington Avenue.
An authentic reproduction of Warhol’s fantasy shoe collage dances across the bottle in rich, saturated colors. The fragrance itself is an unapologetically seductive floral woody chypre and a harmony of contemporary gourmand notes: blue cypress, roasted almonds, pink peony, crème brulée and sandalwood.
$195 USD for 100ml. Available at Holt Renfrew.
