Andre Leon Talley @OfficialALT and Diana Ross trip the light fantastic on New Year’s Eve 1979 at the infamous Studio 54. According to WWD - Women’s Wear Daily, who “caught the whole “misheagas” on film Ms. Ross “slipped on the glitter-covered floor, nearly taking down her towering dance partner.” Apparently, Mr. Talley is in talks for his own late-night talk show and, as a former Conde Naster and unabashed ALT fan, I really need that to happen.
