une soirée chez Porges

Had an amazing nite chez Porges tonite.
Lucie Porges, a residence artist at Pauline Trigère's fashion house happened to be my Fashion Atelier instructor this semester.
She was a wonderful lady with a superb taste in fashion.
As I walked into her apartment on Upper West Side, she started showing the class her collection from her days back at Trigère's.
I had a chance to put the jackets on as I was always in love with one. They fit and length were quite a perfection! The details were simple but marvelous. True couture pieces!

The details are hard to see on these pictures.
I'll put the sketches up when the finals are over

As the night dwindled down, I ended up at her kitchen munching on crackers with homemade egg and tuna salads, accompanied by her husband, Paul Peter Porges, the famous cartoonist. He threw a tricky question.
M. Porges: "What would you choose to have: beauty, fame, or money?"
sphinxku: "Money, it is!"
M. Porges: "How so? There are ugly rich people out there! Would you like to be rich and ugly?"
sphinxku: "Well.. look at newspapers and magazines, none of those celebrities look like that when they were poor! They were normal looking or even ugly. But now they have the money to make themselves beautiful by getting all those luxurious spa treatments or surgeries, personal trainer, private chef, you name it! Therefore, beauty is attainable. As for fame, hmm.. I don't give a damn about it. A trustfund is a different story. One has to work hard for it. Not that I don't want to work hard, but I certainly don't want to get stuck on a job that I am dreading just because they pay me well. Thank God up until today, I can still humm little tunes while I am working! *knock on wood* The whole point here is money will provide a better foundation and access on whatever path I choose to do in life. And I will be thrilled that I don't need to think about it at all since it is there. A relief! Ooh, and I can travel again!"
