Imagine Yves wandering into the drawing room at 2.oo pm on Sunday afternoon, after a BIG party, on the previous night, and saying to himself "Now were did I leave my cell phone?"

Just cut and pasted this off the auction website -

Evening Sale: 23 February
Monday's inaugural auction of the Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé collection was anticipated by thousands of collectors, art lovers and dealers. Over 1,200 clients joined Christie’s and Pierre Bergé at the Grand Palais in Paris and 100 telephone bidders were active throughout the two and a half hour sale, to bid on behalf of all international clients unable to come in person to this unique Parisian event. The sale was a world record for a private collection at auction and the highest total for any sale in Europe, totaling €206,154,600 / $266,743,437.

"Hot on the heels of this auction, Designer Wolgang Joop ( you have probably been over powered by his aftershave in an elevator!) has decided to shed a few of his pieces, By Tamara De Lempicka"

"Poor Woolfie, I did warn him that the aftershave was too distinctive and people would get sick of it, Luckily i am able to "Hang on" to my own Lempicka
