We’ve all heard about Hillary Clinton’s book titled What Happened, published by Simon & Shuster and launched in NYC on Tuesday, September 12th.

There’s an old joke that’s been around for years. It goes like this: If a nuclear bomb is dropped at some point in the future there will only be two things left on earth: cockroaches and Keith Richards. I would like to amend that to read “cockroaches, Keith Richards and Karl Lagerfeld.”

I have always been intrigued by the appearance of Vogue magazine’s jaw-dropping September issue. A crane is needed to pick it up. Only then can one sit down and try to read.

On Monday, July 17th I received an invitation via email from “The Apartment by The Line” to a screening of a documentary titled Art of Style that featured Georgia O’Keeffe, the famous artist. “This looks interesting,” I thought to myself so I responded at once to the RSVP. The email also noted that this work was directed and produced by Lisa Immordino Vreeland (her husband’s grandmother is Diana Vreeland).
