GQ single-handedly wrote the best article of 2009 in my opinion. GQ writer Devin Freidman produced an article titled “Emperor Du Fromage” (meaning Emperor of Cheese) was an up close and personal look into the life of Christian Audgier, which is in no way any less gaudy and vomit inducing than his clothes. I have never been so interested in reading one article in my life, and despite the daunting 11 pages of text, I was hooked. Here are some of the hilarious quotes from the article that I recommend all of you take the time to read:
“Or something like this,” he said. “Me on a horse. And there are ten horses around me with no one on them. On Melrose Street. Something like this.”
“What was the error Von Dutch made? Why doesn’t it really exist anymore? ‘Their mistake? To let me go. When I left, we were at the top of the moon. Now they are crash.’”
“A freestanding brick mansion with grand filigreed stone casement windows, a mansard roof, a driveway where your Bentley is parked in a designated space. The door is heavy and wood, with iron detailing; the front desk is paneled in leather; there’s a perfectly weathered Ralph Lauren–like heavy bag in the waiting room, a large moody black-and-white R&B-record-cover-style portrait of Christian in the entryway. And once I entered and could take in the whole balustraded open floor plan straight up to the skylight, I saw laid out on the white marble floor a stuffed albino peacock, a long leather bench with a fur thrown over it, and what appeared to be a precise replica of the chopper from Easy Rider, with the Stars and Stripes carapace and everything.”
