Andy Warhol, Valium and Cocaine

Bob Colacello:

"The more unloved Andy felt at home, the more he made Halston's house his home away from home. 'This is the way I wish my house looked,' Andy told me almost every time I went with him to a dinner or a party there. 'Really modern and really empty.'

'Andy had a special love affair with this place,' Victor Hugo said in our interview. 'This was like his fun house. He'd take a couple of vodkas and loosen up a bit.'

'Don't forget the Valium' added Halston.

They both denied that Andy ever took cocaine there, but I recall one occasion when I gave him some there. Whatever he took and however much he relaxed on his nights at Halston's, he was still the nerd amidst the beauties... Even among his own In crowd, Andy was still the outsider." (BC346)
