Editor and writer Glenn O’Brien, just left as GQ’s “Style Guy’ to become the new editor-in-chief of Maxim magazine. After 40+ years in Manhattan, he’s amassed quite a collection, and Nowness‘s feature video, My Apartamento gives us a little tour with the future grumpy old man,

“I think it’s good to be crotchety. I’m actually too youthful. I’m trying to become more grumpy and old.”

He serves up sage advice like,

“Carbon Dating; Never date anyone not containing carbon.”

A compulsive collector (of mostly books) he shows us a rare collection of sketches. Seems the late artist Jean Michel Basquiat would come over to chat while Glenn was working and there was always a clean stack of white paper to draw on. Oh, and there’s more too…

Watch.
