My parents are artists in their world in the world of modern artists you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one. That was the way to do it and you weren't deeply truly artistic if that wasn't the way you were engaging the press.
I think the 1970s will always be the decade for me. Obviously I grew up in that era but the beauty standard was touchable kissable.
