“You will love L.A. if you’re the kind of person who enjoys possessing no less than eleven Bed Bath & Beyond coupons at one time, believes that dogs should never be on a leash, craves an opportunity to wear a Hawaiian shirt, and is exceedingly patient with everything, everywhere, at all times.”

“Peggy Guggenheim had two great passions: art and men. Throughout her lifetime, she collected plenty of both. A bohemian wild child who was left with a sizable inheritance when her father went down with the Titanic, Guggenheim spent the decades between the World Wars cavorting around Europe, buying, according to her own estimation, a painting a day and having a string of love affairs with the likes of Marcel Duchamp, Samuel Beckett and Max Ernst. ‘I was, without a doubt, completely irresponsible,’ she told W in 1979. ‘I lived for the minute and for the partner I was with. Often I dressed like a slut, and many people obviously thought I was one. But I had standards, even if they they weren’t the same as everybody else’s.’”
