Cenas de um conúbio homossexual


"Yves Saint Laurent’s black-and-white French bulldog, Moujik, was at Christie’s in Paris this week, sniffing around the contents of his late master’s country estate, which are up for auction in a four-day sale that begins today. (Proceeds of the sale are to benefit medical research on H.I.V.) Saint Laurent (who died in June 2008) and his partner in life and business, Pierre Bergé, acquired Chateau Gabriel, a grand 19th-century house near Deauville on the Normandy coast, in 1983, and hired the interior designer Jacques Grange to recreate within its walls the hothouse atmosphere of a belle époque mansion.
Marcel Proust was the guest they had in mind. But since the author of “À La Recherche du Temps Perdu” had died in 1922, they made do with members of the Saint Laurent/Bergé clan instead. Betty Catroux; Loulou de la Falaise and her husband, Thadee Klossowski; and Anne-Marie Munoz (director of the couture house atelier), among others, were housed in guest rooms named after characters from Proust’s epic masterpiece. The couturier’s bedroom suite bore a plaque inscribed with the name of Charles Swann, a figure of bittersweet longing, who charms his way into the gilded social circles of the Faubourg Saint-Germain, while Bergé reposed under the sign of the novel’s louche aristocrat Baron de Charlus.
