Somebody help me please! I am surrounded by these douchey millionaire husbands who are shafting their exes--Peter Brant, Steve Phillips, Jim Nantz, and Bob Haldeman. Must be something in the water here in Fairfield County..... #stephanieseymour
It seems so unfair that such detestable people should have the wherewithal to purchase such great art. I hate that all those Cindy Shermans and Basquiats are in these two's hands. #stephanieseymour
@sassyredhead: I hope you got the can opener. Basic survival depends on the ability to open canned food. At least it does if I'm the one cooking. #stephanieseymour
Add Ms. Seymour to the list of beautiful people who are probably aliens because they never age. If this woman has an addiction problem, I need one too. #stephanieseymour
There is literally nothing about this mess that doesn't make me vomit. They are so fucking despicable that they absolutely deserve one another. It's a pity the marriage didn't work out. #stephanieseymour
@Tchotchke: Also, I really hate that I am so childish that I went here, but: It saddens me that Stephanie Seymour is such a miserable, nasty person and still so incredibly beautiful. Life is not fair. #stephanieseymour
@Tchotchke: My old girlfriend in San Diego used to cut SS's hair and she was in fact a nasty, mean, pretentious, arrogant and altogether unlikable person. She was so "me-me-me" she made even the most egotistical diva look like a humble version of Mother Teresa. She was dumb as a bag of dirt and made no bones about using her snootch to get what she wanted. I did not like her, not at all. #stephanieseymour
@I_can_still_pitch: There was an anecdote in the Kurt Coabin biography "Heavier than Heaven" about Stephanie Seymour. I think this was at the 1993 MTV VMAs, while she was still dating Axl, and right after Courtney Love gave birth to Frances.
As the story goes, Axl Rose and Stephanie approached the Cobains backstage to start a fight. Axl insulted Kurt and their child, Kurt then asked Axl to be Frances' godfather. Stephanie, feeling left out, walked over to Courtney, who was boucing Frances on her knee and sneered, "Are you a model?" to which Courtney replied, "No, are you a brain surgeon?" Stephanie stuttered and then walked away.
Obviously, I have never met SS in person, but I've heard many stories by people who have and each one is worse than the last.
I effing love it when even the lawyers say their clients are liars. Gotta love it when you've been doing it for so long that cynicism wins over a zealous defense. #stephanieseymour
@Ruby_de_la_Booby: I'm imagining an alternate reality where she and Axl Rose got married, it didn't rain during their reception, no one jumped through the cake, she didn't die, Guns N Roses never broke up, Slash and Axl were BFFs, and GNR produced wonderful albums every year on the dot. I wish I lived in that world. #stephanieseymour
@Dictator for Life: What about tongue kissing? Would they have tongue kissed after the vows...because that image is forever burned on my brain. #stephanieseymour
@Dictator for Life: Oh! Right! I completely forgot that all supermodels and strippers are made of sugar and smell of cupcakes ... Thanks for reminding me! :) #stephanieseymour
I apologize in advance for taking a part of this post seriously and therefore for this rant, but I can't not post this.
Why would anyone have a problem with a private art collector who actually shares his collection with the public? If he hangs his work on the walls of his house, the public will never get to see it. Additionally, his house is probably not light and climate controlled, which could present preservation issues. And since some of the monthly operating costs of the museum no doubt go towards paying professionals to curate and care for the collection, he'd have to spend a good portion of that money no matter where the works are hung.
I'm all for righteous indignation about the wasteful lifestyles of the rich, but I don't think collecting and showing art should be included. Patronage is a necessary component of the art world and the fact that he's enabling the public to see his collection on a regular basis is a step up from the average private collector.
And there are two problems with the "just go to the Met" throwaway line:
1) I can't see the works owned by this guy at the Met because they're not there. Implying that all art is basically the same- that looking at one painting is just as good as looking at another- is a bit ignorant. A parallel: reading Lolita is not the same as reading Bend Sinister, and I don't think anyone would suggest that it is.
2) I love the Met's "give what you can" door policy but I strongly urge everyone to give more than $.50 if you possibly can. Museums fund a lot more than the average person sees; research, preservation, and education are expensive and not very sexy missions. The trend for blockbuster shows that bring in the dollars isn't about profit, it's about funding those missions that no one is interested in funding. If we all gave more, we'd see a lot more programming that isn't Impressionists.
I know I took this too seriously and I'm a humorless jerk, but I just get so tired of visual art being used as an example of wasteful spending. #stephanieseymour

Cos when I win the lottery, I'm buying one in every colour, to match each of my houses, on Makebelieve Island. #stephanieseymour
