Tuesday, December 19, 1978
Cabbed to Tom Armstrong’s ($3.50). Merce Cunningham was there and John Cage and Jasper Johns, but they were just about leaving. Leo Castelli was there trying to dance with his drunk wife. I took pictures. Hilton Kramer was there, the art critic. I’d never met him, so I met him. He’s the one that hates my work. Mark Lancaster was there, I had fun with him. Oh, I read a great column in the ! It was something like “Funky, Punky, and Junky,” and they had been talking about it at Tom Armstrong’s— it was about “silly people” and it had me in it a lot. No mention of Steve Rubell, no Halston— just me, Marisa, Bianca, Truman, Lorna Luft— the silly people and the silly places. And later, at Halston’s, Halston said he’s glad he wasn’t mentioned because he said , “I’m! Not! Silly!” And then everyone started calling Bianca “silly pussy, silly pussy.” And Marisa came over and when she heard about the “silly” column she was upset to be “silly.”
