Talcy Malcy

I saw Malcolm McLaren at the Whitney Museum in 1986, just walking along with Lauren Hutton, wearing a pair of pricey black Rei Kawabuko (sp?) clamdigger-looking pants and some sort of Batali-ish proto clogs. I grabbed a Roy Lichtenstein postcard (still life of some grapes) and had him sign it and basically looked like some twerpy high school nebbish from Ohio with his tired, old parents.

(had never seen this!)

This was also the year the Mets were in the playoff and series, and the whole of Laguardia was riveted to the bar TVs and shouts were going up as good things happened for the Mets.
