Le Figaro : “Collection St-Laurent-Bergé, dernier acte au Théâtre Marigny”.
En parlant de Saint Laurent, Tom Ford, designer texan botoxé tendance “dépoitraillé-velu” reconverti dans le cinéma, se laisse aller à l’aigreur avec l’élégance qu’on lui connaît…
But being at Yves Saint Laurent was such a negative experience for me even though the business boomed while I was there. Yves and his partner, Pierre Bergé, were so difficult and so evil and made my life such misery. I’d lived in France off and on and had always loved it. I went to college in France. It wasn’t until I started working in France that I began to dislike it. They would call the fiscal police, and they would show up at our offices. You are not able to work an employee more than 35 hours a week. They’re like Nazis, those police. They’d come marching in, and you had to let them in and they’d interview my secretary. And they can fine you and shut you down.
Pierre was the one calling them. I’ve never talked about this on the record before, but it was an awful time for me. Pierre and Yves were just evil. So Yves Saint Laurent doesn’t exist for me.”
Ford didn’t buy anything from the YSL estate sale in February 2009. “God, of course not. I have letters from Yves Saint Laurent that are so mean you cannot even believe such vitriol is possible. I don’t think he was high when he wrote them either. I just think he was jealous, and Yves and I were friends before I took over the company. But then we began to move the company forward and were very successful…he just became so insanely jealous…that phase in my life just doesn’t exist anymore.”
The Advocate, Kevin Sessums: “Tom Ford Tells All”.
C’est donc la fin d’une formidable hypocrisie vieille de plus de 20 ans. La France n’interdit pas en effet l’adoption par un couple homosexuel. Ce n’est pas moi qui le dis, c’est le Gouvernement français qui expliquait cela benoîtement devant la CEDH (je me demande si Christine Boutin était au courant que son Gouvernement soutenait ça devant la cour…). Seulement, c’est ballot, en 20 ans, aucun couple homosexuel candidat à l’adoption n’offrait les garanties d’équilibre et de stabilité exigés pour cet agrément, préalable indispensable à ce qu’un jeune enfant adoptable leur soit confié en vue de l’adoption. C’est dingue, parfois, les probabilités…

Waou, c’est du lourd ! :)
J’adore son concept de label “ami de la France”.
Comment peut-on élire ce genre de truffe ?
Blah ? Touitter !
