Luc Carl, Lady Gaga's ex, muse and St. Jerome's regular, was profiled in the New York Times today, and among other things, reveals that his hairstylist "is the stylist for the cast of 'Chicago,'" and that re: Gaga, "I was madly in love for a long time." The story's Lada Gaga focus (the headline is "Lady Gaga's Muse Tests His Poker Face) had us wondering whether the piece's author Steven Kurutz received an email this morning like the one we got when Alex Catarinella profiled him for our nightlife issue back in 2010. The story, which you can read here, is quite harmless. But it drew the wrath of Luc. Here's our post-article correspondence.-------
Everyone in the world wants me to do interviews. I turn them all down. I thought I could trust you.
I thought I made it perfectly fucking clear that my relationship was not to be mentioned in the article. I will be posting on twitter that the article was not authorized and a bunch of bull shit.
I read the first two sentences and was disgusted.
I've never read you magazine. Never even heard of it. I asked around and heard nothing but good things so I said yes to you. You really let me down.
I might as well write star mag zine back. I had no idea you were a tabloid.

Hi Luc --
Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the piece. We didn't write that you were in a relationship with her one way or the other - just that there is speculation, and kept things intentionally vague. But i am curious - when did you say we couldn't mention her? Did you tell the
writer? Me? The photographer? I am looking through my old emails and can't find anything where you say that.
Alexis

You never asked me about it so I assumed you didn't know. Nice try but I think you and I both known it's bull shit. As you can imagine every magazine in the country is after me. You are the only one I agreed to meet with because I thought you had class. I guess I was wrong.

Known for his brilliant prints, London-based, Nigeria-born designer Duro
Olowu is bringing his sensibility to new York with "Material," an art
show-cum-pop-up shop. His own designs will be "languidly installed"
amidst paintings, photos and installations by a slew of artists, like
Hamidou Maiga, Laurie Simmons and Tony Cox. 
Paris' Les Arts Decoratifs will present "an analysis rather than a
retrospective" of oft-intertwined designers, Louis Vuitton and Marc
Jacobs. Engaging the mind as well as the eye, the exhibit will focus on
the cultural and technological forces that shaped each designer's work
just as much as they, in turn, shaped the fashion industry.

One of our dearest friends and long time contributors, the legendary performance art pioneer (and just really, really wonderful person) Tom Murrin has performed a show as his alter-ego Alien Comic every full moon night since the 1970s, in honor of the moon goddess Luna Macaroona. Tonight, Tom is in the hospital, and too ill to go on with the show. His friends are gathering in celebration of Tom on this Full Moon Day from 9 to 11 p.m. at PS 122 on First Ave. and 9th Street in the East Village. Bring props, snacks, costumes and good vibes. To get a sense of what an amazing and interesting guy he is, read this
