On White




"A protocol of white---which, remember, is the presence of all color---formed a retaining wall around the personality of its flamboyant celebrity resident. Just as insecure urbanites dress in black, Liberace chose a palette of white, with all its associations of class, confidence, heavenly purity and arctic death."

"In summer I sleep under a white ermine cover and in winter, under sable." -Karl Lagerfeld

    In the summer I sleep under a green cotton Ikea blanket, in the winter Blue Mary Kate and Ashley quilt. -Mindy Sue, Fiberist.

    All the time, I sleep naked with a rough poly blend blanket.

    In summer I sleep under whoever I take home. In winter, same, but more for warmth than anything else.
