Bartolomeo Veneto’s “Lucrezia Borgia” (1502-1530)
I haven’t had a chance to read Tom Perkins new book, “Valley Boy,” but I’m really really looking forward to it. He’s such an interesting person, and it sounds like he’s packed the book with a lot of great stories.
This month San Francisco magazine’s Bruce Kelley published some of his favorite bits concerning Perkins’ ex-wife, Danielle Steel, whom I adore. I’m relieved to see that he doesn’t make her look mean or crazy or diva-like. She strikes me very much like a fabulous, eccentric …

Usually SFLuxe’s commentary on the Bently family fashion focuses on Amber Marie Bently, who’s always so gorgeous and lovely, like a glittering butterfly, but this time we’re going to change it up a little and cast an eye on husband Christopher Bently. My jaw dropped, as I’m sure yours just did too, when I saw this divine photo by Matt Powers of Christopher and Amber Marie on stage at the Koncept Kamalaspa fashion show. It is absolutely the most superb outfit I have seen a man wear in …

I’m sure it’s no surprise to SFLuxe readers that the most divine dress currently for auction at ebay is being offered by San Francisco vintage expert Ricky Serbin (who was just featured in the big new book, “American Fashion,” published by Assouline.)
The beaded tulle dress you see above (size 6) is from the Chanel Fall 2007 collection. It retailed for $32,445, but current bidding is around $7,500. And if you buy it maybe you can get Ricky to tell you which of the “world’s most famous fashion editors” it …

“Adjustable Wall Bra” (1990 - 1991), by Vito Acconci, as seen at the Barbara Gladstone Gallery in 2001.
“We did it because we wanted to enjoy our art collection in a way we hadn’t been able to…. We’ll be changing the pieces every year. We have hundreds of pieces.”
That’s Norah Stone, describing the amazing “museum-cave” she and Norman Stone just built in Napa. Among the art displayed there, in their private gallery, is “Adjustable Wall Bar” by Vito Acconci, which you see above. Carolyne Zinko asked Mr. …
