Lot Essay

Sunday, November 3, 1985
I decided not to go to the office, to just stay in. Stephen Sprouse called and said he’d been in L.A. and that there was a store there called “Andy Warhol’s Wigs” and he wanted to know if it was mine. Oh, how do you escape this aging factor? My mother was the age I am now, when she came to New York. And at the time I thought she was really old. But then she didn’t die until she was eighty. And she had a lot of energy.
