Moments later, Fern Mallis appeared in a glittering sweater and little low-heeled Manolo boots, clearly jazzed for the show. “I have kinky taste in some things,” she said. “Like, decorative things and accessories.” Any that she feels fetish-y about, we wondered? “I have so many that it’s hard to separate them, because that’s my thing — the accessories. I’m fetish-y about my Solange Azagury skull.” She pulled a little white skull on a long chain from inside her sweater. “The mouth opens.”
