Some wisdom from GQ's Style Guy columnist Glenn O'Brien [b.March 2, 1947, d.April 7, 2017] Check out his book, Intelligence for Dummies.
*It’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed for an occasion. It will appear that you are going somewhere better later.
*Drink champagne. If you have only one thing in the refrigerator it should be champagne. You’ll be ready to celebrate or seduce at all times.
*Vinyl. Collect records. They sound good and the sleeves look great lying around the pad.
*Take that Cohiba label off the cigar. Unless, of course, you’re going to stick it up your ass.
*Expensive sheets. Better than furniture, baby. Porthault turned my life around. That high thread count will keep your bed crowded.
*Answer the phone “Studio.” Everyone will think you’re an artist.
*Don’t give too many people your cell phone number.
*Black tie means you have to wear a tie. Duh.
*If you want a good dog, go to the pound. Mutts are the true aristocrats of the canine gene pool, representing the nobility of natural selection.
*Artists are the real saints. You can never know enough about Duke Ellington.
*Don’t lie. Say what you think and smile. Be ruthless and affectionate. Let them think you’re being ironic. Speak the truth and beam.
*When you eat a big meat sandwich, eat a pickle. It’s the antidote.
*Make your bed when you get up. It gives you more of a will to live.
*Have nice stationary and write thank you notes at every opportunity. Thanks for the gift, for the meal, for the appointment, for the shag, etc… Thank you for letting me be myself again. Flattery may get you somewhere. Gratitude will get you everywhere.
*Take your son to work on “take your daughter to work day.”
*Don’t just read your own horoscope in the paper, read all twelve, that way you’ll know who to watch out for.
*If you find yourself having too many hangovers but you don’t feel ready for AA, try drinking something you don’t like. If vodka goes down too easy, try a nice expensive single malt scotch with a difficult to pronounce name.
*Watching network television is decadent. Get up a regular card game at least once a week to expand your interactions with other humans. ER is degeneracy. Contract Bridge is civilization. Have you Scrabbled lately? It’s a rush.
*Revenge should be savored. Revenge should be fun. Don’t get all hot under the collar and antsy. Just wait for your moment, even if it takes a lifetime.
*Be beautiful and be loveable. By any means necessary. The forces of love, humor and gorgeousness may appear ruthless at times, but look at what we’re up against.
