in this era I could hardly take a bad
picture and all my clothes were fabulous
and I loved them and I've spent pretty
much all my time naked
hi Vogue
we're going to look through my looks
alright I'm ready I'm going to start
answering questions without someone
asking well I don't remember exactly
where we were in this picture but this
outfit that I have on it's red white and
blue and I made it to go to England
so what stands out to me in this picture
is Sunny's willingness to let me do
anything to him he would wear anything
that I put him in and he's wearing his
Bobcat I wanted it I thought it would
fit me it didn't so soon he got it but I
thought he looked really handsome in it
well this is a big jump isn't it the big
jump was I designed these and Bob Mackie
designed that that's a big jump this was
gold I'm holding on to something oh I
remember it was kind of like a Dolman
sleeve you know it was a jacket but it
was kind of Dolman sleeve and it was Bob
obviously and this was a photo shoot for
the TV show I was the first woman when
you're married you can kind of get you
know you can get away with stuff and
also everyone thought that it was I
Dream of Jeannie and I don't think the
censors were you know digging that deep
so yeah it was made reminds me of how
fabulous my hip bones were
this cover Richard Avedon once told me
they're never gonna be on the cover of
oh the man who picked the covers was
named doc and he couldn't fight any
covers and so he went to me as a last
resort but I really don't look like me
okay okay this dress
this dress was the cover of Time
magazine and it was also what I wore to
the first Met Ball and there I am at the
Met Ball with me Bob Mackie and my best
friend Poland this guy came up to me I
don't know if he was a photographer I
don't remember what he was and he said
how do you feel being naked and I said I
feel just fine if you look at it it
looks like it's stuck to me and that's
because it is I think I was shocking for
a lot of people because it was souffl
the dress was made out of souffl which
was a material that was outlawed in
America you can only get it in France
and Marlena Dietrich had her beaded
dresses made on it and so when you put
it on bub sprayed it with like a little
hand sprayer and it just sticks to your
skin so it looks like you just your
skins beaded so I think people were a
little taken back sunny now we're doing
Carol Burnett Bob did everything for
Carol Burnett and we met I think on
LaBrea LaBrea our loss Annika at one of
the houses you know that you go to be
fitted and he walked in and he was so
handsome and he said he was very happy
that I was little because he thought I
was huge
you're kidding right I don't like this
dress and I don't like the hairdo and I
don't like anything about it this was me
with my smirk first pub just made the
pantsuit and then he put the war bonnet
on we were on the road we went on the
road this outfit is great is one of my
favorite outfits this is a picture with
Diane and Elton I was still with Sonny
when I had it so it must have been in
the early 70s and I'm in the same outfit
and Diana this big thing has yellow lots
of yellow ostrich feathers and Elton is
just Elton Diana was pregnant and I was
in that same outfit only without
anything I don't know where we were but
we used to hang out a lot
Diane was so beautiful this was an
unfortunate outfit I wore it on TV and I
had a knife on that gold on that silver
chain what was white gold and you
couldn't tell that you could see through
it but I was kind of ahead of my time so
whatever this one this flame dress was
one of many this was the beginning this
one with all these pieces these little
dangly pieces it was for something on
the on the show on the cher show and
whatever it was all about flames and sex
and this picture is all about Egypt and
sex and this picture is all about
spandex and sex
I had these boots forever and I don't
know the pose is just what you do when
you run out of things okay this is me
with a Charlie tweedle hat on
he got an aspen and in my leotards and I
was on my lunch break and I was going to
Maude free zone
the paparazzi came from nowhere and I
just did that and I'm holding some shoes
in my hand that we walked into this
store and the man said oh if they fit
you you can have him for 25 bucks and
they fit me this next one is naked but
not really well this one was pretty much
naked okay so this is my skunk hairdo
it was the one time that I didn't wear a
wig when I love these earrings I don't
remember where I got them but I loved
them and they had that t-shirt studded
this picture was for a friend of mine
Arlene and she had a jewelry line and
this was just showing her waist chains
my fabulous body this is one of my
favorite favorite outfits I came to Bob
with an idea and I said I want to have a
mohawk and I want to do something that's
not actually Indian but I want it to be
so over-the-top that it's next week he
came back with this and the beautiful
shawl was the most fabulous cashmere and
I loved that I loved the whole thing and
my boyfriend god bless him Joshua Donna
Joshua was so nervous because I kept
saying Joshy do you care what I'm
wearing gonna anything be too much he
was like no no I'm fine with it and I
walked out at my bedroom he almost
passed out I had the idea mostly because
the Academy didn't really like me so I
thought they hated the way I dressed and
I had young boyfriends and they just
thought I wasn't serious so I came out
and said as you can see I got my
handbook on how to dress like a serious
actress okay this is Luke I won the
Oscar I didn't really have a speech
because I could never imagine first of
all it was a comedy and it's hard to win
for comedy and secondly I just thought
I'm never gonna get this and why would I
I just thought this will be a beautiful
dress and my favorite thing about it was
the the shawl I lost one of my earrings
walking up the stairs and said oh
and I think you can read it in my lips
and the shoes were so killing me that I
had to take them off I was standing next
to Michael Douglas standing on my
tiptoes whoa well this is not Bob this
is oh I can't remember her name but she
was really nice the proportions were not
exactly right but it was pretty good
pretty good I love the idea of it and I
love everything but right work goes to
the crotch it's just not right
my style was pretty much what I was
feeling at the moment no matter what
anybody else was doing I just didn't pay
too much attention and
this is belief era and boy nothing goes
it's kind of a mishmash except the top
little thing we were doing the video and
I saw this boy sitting on the stairs of
the trailer and he was kind of weaving
these little monofilament things you
know kind of plasticky things and he was
weaving them but he was weaving small
ones and I looked out I said could you
weave a big one
he said yeah and so I decided to put it
on my head at the last minute but this
whole other thing is a mess this is one
of my boy did you get it wrong looks I
love this outfit I hate that the top
piece it's just too big for me
King Kong should be wearing that hat
this is what I wore to the Met Gala and
I had another outfit to wear but at the
last minute I just thought what kind of
words can you say on this show
I just thought it I don't want to
wear anything so this is what I came in
except I had a big fluffy puffy coat
that my friends that come hearts made me
and so I've had these jeans forever they
are patched over patches and so I love
them they're not particularly attractive
but I don't really care that's it
okay I don't really want to close it on
that it was nice for the moment but I
don't really want to do that so I was
told to close the book and I take
direction well and that's all you get
you
