I was rather amused, and quite flattered, to have the set of the Radamisto English National Opera production described as a “Nicky Haslam acid trip” in a recent review on The Arts Desk.
Hot pink’s been in my life since way back when - evident on this Bazaar cover I did in 1965 with Richard Avedon.
To me it is reminiscent of a matador’s cape. Passion.
And I’ve always maintained that everyone should paint the insides of their lampshades pink - it will make you and your room look gorgeous.

I like the idea. But what if your bedroom is a shade of green (Benjamin Moore “Winding Vines”)? We have table lamps on each side of the bed.
Yes, ‘Nicky Haslam acid trip’ is a rather evocative and highly flattering comment, don’t you think?
Suggests a certain with-it-ness. Actually, extreme with-it-ness on your part.
Jean Shrimpton never looked so good. Bazaar, too.
I described Zandra Rhodes’ vivid costumes for San Francisco Opera’s new production of AIDA as ‘pharoahs on acid’…not that I would know.
such an iconic COVER.
