Pilar Limosner

Strong memories of you Pilar in our freshman dance class at UCLA. I can still hear your voice, clear and modulated, and see you there poised and lovely, telling stories about the kinds of things that made us laugh so much. Nice memories.

Dear & talented Pilar. I was acquainted with Pilar through Josef Astor & would see her often at his studio in Carnegie Hall. May she rest in peace.

I will recall some of Pilar's Berkeley and San Francisco life.
1) Us rampaging through the UCB campus on roller skates terrorizing the initiating sorority girls.
2) Since Pilar worked at a group of movie theaters... roaring motorcyles down the movie seat aisles....
3) She and me go-go dancing for hours above the loges at another cinema party. More fun than is allowed by law.
4) The post Elvis Costello gig party at her Telegraph Avenue flat with caramel apples (we'd made) and the band sans Elvis. Those Brits were confounded by this delicacy. But not by the girls.
5) The party at Pilar's on Valencia St. where everyone entering had their photo taken on a surfbord.

Lovely Pilar, we shared a store and Lower East Side experiences but never scissors!

Beautiful Pilar - I put a candle in a box of See´s candy in honor of you lighting up the cosmos.

Pilar also won a Bessie costuming Ridge's Theater's Jennie Richtie performance, photo attached. And Pilar was so luminous, her laugh, her designs, her camaraderie were treasures and we were the lucky recipients of her gifts. Thank you, Pilar.

I loved you, darling Pilar. You are brilliant and utterly unique and a kind person, too. I didn't realize we were the same age, I always thought of you as being younger than I. May you fly now, unfettered through the cosmos weaving webs of magic and beauty to confound the ages.

Bendiciones Pilar, it was much fun collaborating with you. We created some amazing images. I´ll always treasure our times together at the store, Area and running into each other all over NYC. Eres una estrella radiante! Amor por siempre-

You will be missed. We always had a laugh working together at AREA.

This is one of my favorite photos of our dear Pilar. Taken by photographer Josef Astor for The NY Times and mentioned in the text of the obit here on Legacy. Pilar as a model. Her beautiful and ethereal looks a perfect match for this story on sleepwalkers. Now she is one with the ethereal Cosmos that we all came from and shall return to.

We will always remember her time with Los Microwaves, touring, playing and dancing with the band.... <3

Pilar, Always loved your special name. Your salon -Boutique gave glamour to the still dangerous (not for us) Alpha City. Fly with the angels & feel peace & accomplishment .
