Jodi Arnold Spring 2010
Years ago, one summer weekend when I opted to stay in the City over the Hamptons, I got really ambitious, and painted my little bathroom on East 87th Street with soft green and white stripes. Well, it was already white, so I only painted the green. Only? I measured, taped, painted, painted again, waited for it to dry, and peeled. Done before the boyfriend arrived back on Sunday night. I don’t remember what he thought, I guess it was fine, but I remember that someone else described it as looking like a candy store. I suppose, depending on what you keep in your medicine chest that could be accurate…

While working on a “Palm Beach Primer” for The Inside Source last week, I spotted a photo by Slim Aarons above a yellow ikat breakfast banqette in a room designed by San Francisco based interior designer Palmer Weiss, who was kind enough to identify it for me. His images are timeless, yet retro groovy. (See if you can spot who must surely be the prototype for Chuck Bass.)
Aarons, who was born in 1916, chronicled “the good life” of the upper classes of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. He approached society portraits, both formal and candid, with the eye of a photojournalist. His career was built on what he called, “photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.”
