"'He spends most of his time partying until morning in Paris,' a friend said. 'It's out of control. There's always a different boy and everyone is worried he's going to pull a Halston' - referring to the legendary designer whose work suffered due to drinking and drugs. Halston died of AIDS in 1990." [Post]

Even tho I have taunted that Marc will always be that fat boy, I have to say he didn't look like he was imploding that night at the Costume thingy -- and the guy with him was quite amazing. Am surprised no one has figured out who he is. My bet is this fact-challenged New York Post item was planted by the ex(?)-hooker ex-boyfriend. As Gayker knows, he doesn't have a problem contacting the media.
Partying till morning in Paris? Is he trying to help her get that babypet she's been talking about?
where in paris is he partying? it's not like im going there in two weeks or anything.
Why is it they always look so f'ing hot right before the implosion? Diana Vreeland said that doing drugs gave you greeeaaat (it's hard to do a Diana imitation when typing) complexions.
The same "friend" says that the death toll from the cyclone in Myanmmar might very well top 100,000, adding that "sometimes, this fucking prick Jacobs really needs some goddamned perspective."
Also, going by that photo, the only reason he's "imploding" as opposed to "exploding" is because of that damned cummerbund.
@Rumpelstilskin: By "hot" you mean "embalmed," right?
yeah, so why no news about anderson cooper talking about how the 100,000 death toll in Burma must be told?
I have to admit, I laughed at "pulling a Halston."
I stopped respecting his "work" as soon as he took those vintage find-it-on-ebay for $30 PanAm airline bags and plastered his name across it then called it 200 bucks. Whatever.
@hesperid: I call that kind of "work" "brilliant". he made chimps buy crap for way too much money and then flew to Paris and did the drugs and the alcohol and the men. good for him... he's just keeping it real in a dave chappelle kind of way.
@SeeingI: Not bad for a corpse; just the attraction of "bad boys." He is small in stature, though, easy to lose in a club or a dress fitting.
Shake it while you still got it, baby.
If I was a rich, I'd be doing the same damn thing. Hell, most of us here are poor and doing the same thing.
Would he be a true artist if he was in bed by 10 every night?
That's what my internal monologue sounds like when I go through a phase like this (about once a year, if I'm lucky). (But always without the "new boy every night." If I'm lucky.)
Will this all be ok as long as his work doesn't suck? I consider this research.
Forget Halston, by the looks of it Mark's pulling every Tom and Harry Dick.
"Everyone is worried."
News to me.
I know for a fact that his staff go and buy shit at 99 cent stores,like plastic beads and other various crap then they sell it at his shop on Bleecker(the one that has the lower priced plastic and stuff)to desperate Japanese tourists and various fashion mad freaks.
