Nelson called, he's still plugging away at his screenplay. He said he had to take a Valium when Fran Lebowitz made it so big--they still don't speak--and his old friend Brian DePalma has The Fury out.
     We were invited to John Richardson's for a dance. We limoed over and it was so chic. Lynn Wyatt was there and Nan Kempner, and--The Empress. If Bob calls Diana Vreeland "The Empress" or me "The Pope of Pop" in his "Out" column one more time ... Diana took out her compact and brushed on an inch of rouge and said, "Is it kabuki enough yet?"
     Bianca's being really awful to Barbara Allen, getting back at her for Mick, and now she's got Halston against Barbara. But I got back at Bianca--I told her she missed the best fashion show, Ossie Clark's. I said, "Oh Bianca, it was all just made for you, my dear--a beautiful bat-wing dress and a Wonder Woman outfit that you should run right out and get immediately." (laughs) Because you see, she's stuck. She's Halston's friend and Halston's clothes just aren't right for her--they make her too short and they cut her body the wrong way. They look like a bad diaper. I mean, I like Halston's things because they're simple, and that's what American clothes should be, but they just don't look good on Bianca, she needs to wear more of a costume.
