Glenn O'Brien possesses a timeless type of cool that is hard to find.
A writer, filmmaker, and OG 'tastemaker', Glenn has chronicled NYC's downtown scene since the mid 70s through his work with magazines like Interview, Rolling Stone, Oui, Artforum, New York and the Village Voice and with his public access show TV Party. He's also the man behind the cult film Downtown 81 that featured Jean Michael Basquiat and collaborated with Fabien Baron on many projects including the FBI-investigated Calvin Klein campaigns of the 90s and Madonna's 'Sex' book.
These days I keep up with him through his regular column/blog for GQ, The Style Guy. His writing has also recently appeared in Vanity Fair, Paper, Purple, Self Service, L'Uomo Vogue, and Another Magazine.
I also heard he's a fan of table tennis... We need to get him down to PT3.
