Picture the scene: us, me and you clutching for dear life in the back of some 60 foot love machine called “Izzy’s Fuck Machine,” and the rambunctious clatter of faux but brilliant glamour parading and swooning in front of Shaggy, Patrick McMullan’s personal photographer. Where we’re going hasn’t quite been announced, but all you need to know that somewhere in the sea of all these beautiful faces, throbbing electro music and flashing spheres is Izzy Gold. Izzy Gold to be sure is one of the most brilliant messes I have ever come across in my entire life. Of course when I say mess, I mean the type of mess that a fine bottle of Krug champagne can make that you are loathe despite yourself to wipe away.
We’ve just left Talia Eisenberg’s “Heist Gallery,’ opening but really we’ve just taken half the banshee with us to some indiscriminate location. Rumor has it that we’re on our way to the after party at ‘Collective Hardware,’ but that’s just a rumor because where we’re really going is the front end of a torpedo stick lassoing Izzy’s mind. I look at him and wonder what gives, he smiles, lowers his sunglasses and nearly let’s out a tear.
“Where do you want to go? I haven’t been anywhere where you don’t want to go or ever want to go.”
I look at him for another second take the bottle of vodka out of his hand and take a long swig, smile the umpteenth time for Shaggy or is it Keith (at this stage the limo has become a satellite photo shoot…) and watch the world go by while Izzy momentarily closes his eyes.
Let’s now all go back two years ago in some dingy room somewhere in hell with Izzy firmly encrusted in it on a lonely Christmas day and him trying to understand how he got there and what the hell he’s going to do. It is the worst place any human being ever wants to be, cheated by absence but exposed by their in fatigable desire to express themselves. It is the product of the piano song that Izzy later plays for me privately at his west side highway studio that just rips at me. It is when the show is no longer a show and when the man just tears away at the audacity to be brilliant.
i miss you guys and i hope to see you soon
OMG TONIE SWAIN
I KNOW HER!!!!
we used to go to school together!
Where can I find out more about that Tonie Swain girl?
Yeah, I saw Izzy at Talia’s opening last week. This guy has been all over the place lately. I need to go around in that limo the next time.
I’ve been hearing a lot about this Izzy Gold character. It seems like he’s making a lot of big moves around town. It’s funny, because one of my friends was telling me about this guy driving around in a big ass limo last week….turns out it was Izzy Gold!
I caught a late night dinner at a Turkish spot with Izzy, Scallywag, Allison and Ahmad last week. What a great Great time:) Thanks guys!
I <3 Izzy Gold
10 hot girls in a limo, what more could a man ask for?
To the author of this article-
You are a fabulous writer.
I have heard of Izzy Gold a few times, and you really captured the story well.
“kneel before Zod” I think that was in an old Superman movie? but i love it, The t shirt is great too
Surrounded by all of those ladies in the limo, i would say Izzy Gold is a lucky guy
