I could not believe reading also about Tina Chow destiny... the last part of the book is really sad!<br /><br />In another context, wait to read Ritts's mother (Shirley) quotes regarding Michael Jackson, Madonna, Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber, etc, this woman doesn't mince words! lol <br /><br />Good reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328420694699297174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263876107036057432.post-81941804338021597492010-10-28T04:31:49.598-05:002010-10-28T04:31:49.598-05:00how bad, I never thought that I would read somethi...how bad, I never thought that I would read something like that in the book. :|<br /><br />btw, why are people still dying from AIDS?

I'm very sorry for mixing up the the mode...Hi,<br /><br />I'm very sorry for mixing up the the model with the boyfriend, but they share exactly the same name. <br /><br />Some excerpts from the book regarding the boyfriend (not the model):<br /><br />"Thom Fleming just seemed so much more calculating. It was all about what he could get out of Herb. - CHRIS NELSON<br /><br />Thom said to me "I'm not going to go to Japan with Herb unless I get $13,000." He got that on one first-class trip, in cash.<br />Herb told Thom that he was HIV positive in Santa Fe and Thom did not react kindly to it. He was like "Get me the f*ck out of here." I think Thom admired Herb but he was never in love with Herb. Later, ironically, Thom and I became the best of friends. In the last years of Thom's life, I moved him out to Malibu and he died in my arms of AIDS and that was horrific." - CHRIS CORTAZZO<br /><br />In one of the small pictures, there he is showing the cash at KAZU opening in Tokyo, Japan, 1995.
