“I left California in 1993 to come to New York and become a model. I’m Japanese, I’m 5’7”, I’m a dyke, I’m tattooed, I don’t have hair—well, I have a little—I don’t wear any kind of feminine clothes, and I had the opportunity to come to New York and be a model and I said, well, of course I have to go because no one has kind of paved the way. My friends woke me up and they took me in a taxi in my pajamas to Times Square at four o’clock in the morning. And that was when I first saw the billboard for Banana Republic that I shot with Bruce Weber in Times Square. It was just a picture of my face and underneath, it said ‘American Beauty.’ It makes me have the chills because never in my life did I think that I was beautiful.” - jenny shimizu

Smoking has been so glamorous for so long, all those matches, those pauses, the lipstick on the tips–the smoke itself curling its casual way through the most nerve-wracking moments. But in another way, smoking, although glamorous, has never been as glamorous as heroin–and dying from cigarettes just doesn’t have the tragic sunset quality that O.D.ing lends to death. Heroin is the celebrated romantic excess of our time.

“The thing about Harrison was Harrison could fuck. Nine people a day. It’s a talent, loving nine different people in one day. Warren [Beatty] could only do six.”  -  Eve Babitz, Vanity Fair
