This must have been the most insane episode of the Love Boat ever, one with some sort of fashion-world premise. Designers on board: Geoffrey Beene, Halston, Bob Mackie and Gloria Vanderbilt (designer jeans giant and Anderson Cooper’s mom!). Also on the cruise were Cristina Ferrare, the model who was married to a midlife-crisis John DeLorean; and Dick Shawn, most famously of The Producers. I’ve always contended that episodes of the series were written by putting 100 monkeys in front of 100 typewriters and 100 bowls of cocaine.
