"I kind of stopped wearing ties. I think it kind of had something to do with the Iran nuclear deal".
Hahaha, golden stuff.

[@yb32]

In iran they don't wear ties with suits. It's seen as a western thing.

[@Yehamarin]

I love this series. I love how personal it is to sit in a person space and just talk about what inspire them. I like individuality and this is truly inspiring.

[@karencall1578]

i hope he did get to read indignation by philip roth before he died

[@mckennatwogood8654]

RIP glenn O'Brien. beautiful soul.

[@EzeICE]

The Olive Oyl poem made me laugh so loud it terrified my dogs. What a great treasure this man was.

[@trauusa]

Watched this just now. Love the humor, the man and his apartment!
Sad to read he's not here anymore:(
May he rest in peace!❤

[@xz9376]

Two years later he died. The books on his shelves must feel lonely...

[@angelmorrigan7680]

i love glenn obrien's books and i love his place!!! fantastic writing and decor! 🖤🖤🖤

[@susancorgi]

"You are so spoiled, you are so spoiled" LOL!

[@Rood0808]

I am now obsessed with this person.

[@christianl3852]

Unfortunately he passed :(

[@egw6659]

I wonder what happened to all his wonderful books when he died. It would be nice if his fans read his books. Seems so sad in a way that he said they are an insurance against dying. I feel that way too and reminds me to read and get off social media.

[@michaelmachine]

FABULOUS CLIP...RIP GLENN.

[@Sun-soilproductions]

This dude is rad

[@shanenolan85]

My Ohio (I'm from Dayton) and Pisces Brother (03/19), RIP ❤🙏🏿

[@jackfirmin5814]

He has Wittgenstein rabbit duck cushions! Damn I need these.

[@firouz4296]

Men like him don't exist anymore!
I miss him (and his great work)

[@michaelnicola5210]

Literally giggling. Watched three times. Want to have dinner?

[@lukethomas658]

I continued subscribing to GQ long after I found most of the content vapid to read The Style Guy - very cool to see his space. I love that it is organic accretion, but with a sharp sense of color.

[@brittanynblythe]

love that description

[@007vicomte]

Superbe ! Magnifique réalisation.

[@Talk2WandaVision]

I love the drapes!!

[@Velvet0Starship2013]

One of those NY apartments in a Woody Allen movie... finally some proof that they exist

[@christianl3852]

Woody Allen sucked

[@frontbum420]

haha He may be the last

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Your comment is really old but I thought I'd add to it: in a few Woody Allen movie apartment scenes, I noticed white wine kept open and ready to drink in lounge room sideboard cupboards-- and it would be poured into tumblers, not wine glasses. I always found those scenes fascinating (and really unsual). So if someone can find me proof that there exists an apartment in 2020 that has open white wine kept in a living room cupboard and is drank out of regular tumblers, please leave a link! LOL :)

[@joebentleytheartist]

I need a critic like this.

[@David_10157]

"I can't die. I haven't read "Indignation" by Phillip Roth"
I feel this.

[@fernfernisfernie]

[@merriem24]

I don’t know this man but I feel like I should. Funny

[@neilforbes3537]

[@loonerninjaowl]

[@th3azscorpio]

I love the dark atmosphere of a lot of these places. Holy shit a lot of books. His place does look really comfy though. Great episode.

[@edwinathomas1153]
