    1. Probably, like I did when I heard the news, you got him mixed up with Pierre Cardin, who is indeed already there... Jx

  2. There's a photo of Diana Ross in a similar look... but these are marvelous. Can you imagine wearing that out on a Friday night pub crawl?

    1. I had a bottle of the stuff in the 1980s! It, like Kouros and Aramis, was an ever-present scent on the gay scene. Jx
