JADE JAGGER: PROOF THAT TIME FLIES

AG_094126_003jade

Jade, 44, is Mick Jagger’s only child with his first wife, Nicaraguan socialite/ model Bianca Jagger. We happened to own a clothing store on Sunset Strip in the early 70’s (The Garment District) and Mick and Bianca came in together. Not only was Bianca the BOSS, but she was even tighter with money than her famous husband. She demanded a discount simply because of her last name! Mick was more polite but he spent an inordinate amount of time deciding whether to buy a t-shirt in green or blue – and it only cost $20. (why not BOTH?) Now their daughter is grown up and looking like a well-to-do London matron. She DOES have a career as a jewelry designer, and she presented her new collection at Selfridges.

LADY GAGA STOLE HER ACT FROM JOEY ARIAS

Los Angeles is soooo lucky to have “Arias with a Twist” featured at the Redcat theater in Gehry’s glorious Disney Hall until mid-December. We’ve known Joey since the early 70’s when he was an eager high school kid in a band, working in our clothing store, The Garment District, on Sunset Strip. He was always bursting with creativity and when he moved to New York he joined up with legendary operatic performance artist Klaus Nomi and became a New Wave megastar in New York nightlife. Joey channels not only Billie Holiday, but Joan Crawford and Marlene Dietrich. Joey’s incredibly vixenish costumes are designed by his pal Thierry Mugler and executed by Project Runway’s Chris March. The cabaret show is affordable and deliciously entertaining. Lady Gaga’s AMA performance reminded us a LOT of Joey – we think she stole his act!
