Andy Warhol photographed by Pierre Houlès for L’Uomo Vogue on November 18, 1981. Art direction by Daniela Morera.

Andy documented the photo shoot in his diary:

“Went to my modeling job for L’Uomo Vogue (cab $7) on West 21st Street. Way Bandy was there and a hairdresser named Harry, an English kid, just funny and cute, and Way was wonderful.

“We talked about health foods and he doesn't wear too much makeup for day. He looks very good, he’s had a lot of facelifts and we talked about that. He goes to bed at 11:00 and gets up at 5:00 and spends two and a half hours doing his yoga and everything.

“Way and the hairdresser each get $1,000 a day so I’d like to hire him twenty-five times a year to make me up for special occasions, but he says he can only fit me in six times. And then they left and two other people came to do me up punk—a black guy and a hairdresser named Mary Lou Green. And they had a Blondie wig so I would look like a girl, and then they made me up like Ronald Reagan, too.”
