DESCRIPTION:
This book is an account of the philosophical views of Quentin Crisp (born Denis Charles Pratt, 25 December 1908 - 21 November 1999) was a controversial and flamboyant English writer and raconteur. He then spent thirty years as a professional model for life-classes in art colleges. Crisp defied convention by criticizing both gay liberation and Diana, Princess of Wales.. His one-man stage show was a long-running hit, both in England and America, and he also appeared in films and on TV. From a conventional suburban background, Crisp grew up with effeminate tendencies, which he flaunted by parading the streets in make-up and painted nails, and working as a rent-boy. The interviews he gave about his unusual life attracted increasing public curiosity, and he was soon sought-after for his highly individual views on social manners and the cultivating of style
All you'll ever need to know about style is in this book Persephone Pontelier In this book, Quentin refers to Jesus Christ as the greatest Stylist that ever lives. This gives you a hint at the depth and gravity of his musings on Style. This isn't a book about how to wear a hat or the proper length of a shirt sleeve; it is about the very living of life. Every time I return to this book I learn something new about myself, about the art of Living, about Style. Spend some time with Quentin and you'll fall in love as well.. Ryno Mulder said Mandatory for Crisp fans. Perhaps not his strongest work but nonetheless Mr. Crisp never ceases to surprise, delight and challenge your ideas. It is a reminder of his genius, a sad indictment that there aren't many great minds or new gay icons like him today. It's priceless to have access to a little bit of the Crisp magic and I only wish there was more available from him. Everyone who loves him, should have this.. "Mr. Crisp at his finest!" according to A Customer. A wonderful 'how-to' from the master himself. Full of Quentin's classic wit. I loved every page of it.
