Taki talks about the old days:
This disappeared life sounds frivolous today, but as a wise philosopher once said, “the superfluous is extremely necessary”. We were also superfluous then, but playboys added not only to the spirit of the times, they added glamour and gaiety and chivalry and were a hell of a lot of fun to be around. During the great balls given at the period, the Rothschild, Ruspoli, Agnelli, Weiller and Rochas balls, playboys were the most in demand. Ladies of high society were particularly drawn to them, but then ladies were really ladies. Little English lower-middle-class girlies like Anna Wintour and Tina Brown, had they been around, would never have come close to meeting them or even seeing them.
Sorry I missed it...
