they said it wouldn't last

and it didn't.

when i saw picture of david gest and liza minelli a little over a year ago (or maybe more) in vanity fair, the whole thing just looked so fake. she looks like a real (if cartoonish), somewhat wacky, person; he looks like a plastic mannequin. it's quite possible that he may actually wear more makeup than liza does, which seems like it would be no easy feat.

the best quote about this whole thing can be attributed to jack osborne: "[David Gest] is a f-in' psycho. You know his deal, right? He was the biggest Judy Garland memorabilia collector. And then he gets the daughter. He gets the biggest prize out of the lot."
