introducing cecily bertrand

SYLVIE VARTAN - UNE FEUILLE D'OR

"i shall nver forget an uncomfortable dinner with the singer sylvie vartan who spent the entire evening in a terrible sulk. typically, (salvador) dali couldn't remember her name and addressed her as cecily bertrand. his trick was to keep the general gist of a name, while at the same time changing it completely."

excerpt from my 'life with dali' by amanda lear
