protect the innocent。 Namely; me。
hey people!
So I happened to be walking by Barneys the other day (okay;I admit it: I?ve been keeping a vigil)
and guess what? It wasopen。 That?s right: up and running; back to normal; and not amoment too
soon。 I scooped up some adorable Margiela drawstring pants that will do quite nicely poolside and
headedupstairs to Fred?s; which has been restored to its normal glory。 Iguess it?s true what I?ve
been hearing: filming on that movie haswrapped。 Wonder how our favorite leading lady did?
Reportsfrom the set have it that (surprise; surprise) she pulled throughquite nicely (that?s our girl!);
nailing every take so precisely evenher famously sourpuss director couldn?t stop smiling and
declaring his love for her。 Take a number; buddy。 The even betternews is; as any Hollywood player
will tell you; that the end offilming means one thing: the wrap party。 I hear this one is goingto be a
plete old…school blowout; so cross your fingers andcheck with your doorman every hour on
the hour to see if theinvitation has arrived。 Mine; of course; arrived days ago。

We interrupt this program to inform you of a very importantdevelopment: ABC Carpet & Home;
the only place inManhattan where you?ll find handwoven rugs from Iran andthose
so…delicious…smelling…you…want…to…eat…them Diptyque candles under one roof; is now offering a
special service to itsdevoted customers。 Stop by and ask for Sisi; she?ll help youpick out a
glorious feather bed (because those university…issue
mattresses are paper thin); a charming Turkish kilim (the better to cover up the dreary
cinder…block walls); a nice chandelier (go for vintage; one…of…a…kind ones to counteract
the?shudder? dorm room fluorescents); and all the little odds and ends that make a house (even a
teensy dorm room) into a home。 You know; it?s never too soon to start prepping for fall!

Q:
Dear GG;
I was picnicking on the Hudson last weekend and I swear Isaw a certain Hollywood stud
rollerblading shirtless by theriver。 I?d recognize that chiseled jaw and those even morechiseled abs
anywhere。 Could it really be? Because here?sthe thing: he was wearing these teeny spandex shorts
thatshowed off his taut little butt and underneath his skatesI?m pretty sure I caught a glimpse of
some rainbow socks。 What gives? Please don?t say what I think you?re going to say。

Dear ThadRulz;
When did rollerblading bee so popular again? Thatreally snuck up on me。 Anyway; all I?ll
say is this: straightboys are allowed to rollerblade too。 In fact; I can think ofone (definitely straight
arrow) who has recently discoveredhis love of the sport。 If you?re looking for evidence that
Tprefers the pany of gentlemen; some say he?s hadaffairs with everyone from a certain
director?s considerablyyounger wife to the director himself。 You can?t believeeverything you
read 。 。 。 unless you read it here!
