I am always surprised to see how people can find Luxembourg so attractive, I have been here for so long (forever) that I don't see the beautiful sides anymore. I didn't knew YSL had such horrible experiences while serving in the army. It must have been terrible time for a young man... Thanks for sharing, I might look for this book (another one on my list ;-)FunkyStephhttp://funkysteph.canalblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370106307896415604.post-53651297497001210042013-01-09T09:40:31.475+01:002013-01-09T09:40:31.475+01:00sounds like a very interesting book to read and I ...sounds like a very interesting book to read and I will try to get hold of a copy. thanks for the tip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370106307896415604.post-44559807590261758842013-01-09T00:17:42.681+01:002013-01-09T00:17:42.681+01:00I am happy your visit with Mary Jo Matsumoto went ...I am happy your visit with Mary Jo Matsumoto went so well, her bags sound gorgeous.<br />Yves Saint Laurent's life had so much tragedy, there are many things we do not<br />know about the lives of others. The public face does not always reveal much. <br />I for one am very private about my personal life which has been full of painful challenges. It amazes me how some people can pour out their hearts on blogs, this is something I could never do.<br />Maybe this is why my blog is so boring!!!<br /><br />Have a happy week Lisa.<br /><br />Wendy<br />Wendy Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06515367240768125744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370106307896415604.post-66205460713803018462013-01-08T23:25:28.258+01:002013-01-08T23:25:28.258+01:00Goodness :( what a horrible time that poor man wen...Goodness :( what a horrible time that poor man went through.

If an author has some kind of a hidden agenda and is doing harm in some subtle or overt way then I don't like it at all. To me, this author feels more pro-Yves than neutral. I haven't finished the book but I already feel that I understand his character better. The book is well researched so it has a lot of history. It's feels to me to be so much more than just a biography of Yves.
