I think the part where I got most upset was when W-S claimed that 12 miniature LOBSTER SLIDER ROLLS ($129.95) serve 12. Say what?!

Hahahaha, bingo! Thanks for cheering me up about it.

Sure, but that’s a fraction of timeless.

I thought the same thing. Ms. Idusuyi is a timeless fashionplate. It’s only the broad in the red visor that is messing up the wonderful photo.

With Gawker, your first instinct was very reasonable.

I think it’s a social instinct. I do the same every time I pass a conference room with a glass door or a glass wall: I look at the people having a conference. I can’t help it. Sometimes I get defiant looks that tell me this is not the right thing to do. But how can I help it?

Marrow on toast with mostarda and smoky salt is the best thing EVER.

I experienced this in a “behavioral interview,” and voilà! The team was “concerned” that I didn’t have enough of X over Z, when in fact, I had way more demonstrable X than Z. Go figure.

OK, so I have now seen it. THAT was weird and gross and not much pleasure to be had. Despite JJL and the beautiful Jude Law (Box Office Poison for some reason).

And BTW, I might not recommend actually watching these films, but my IMDb credits include Mod Fuck Explosion and Fame Whore :-)

Any movie where JJL wears a t-shirt that says "Shit happens when you party naked" is a national treasure.

One of my favorite manicure-related pieces of writing was several years back when a Manhattan law-firm employee went to Flatbush Avenue for a manicure and came into the office with VERY long, VERY decorated nails; everyone "politely" averted their eyes as with a deformity or wardrobe malfunction.

You're a doll! And my contribution for YOU is Miami Blues.

Excellent. HBO and Netflix = no, but now I know I can hare off to Amazon!

I immediately put it on my list when I saw the mention. This further discussion is very vindicating!

You are so right. It's so deeply unattractive to me. Perhaps beyond the squared-corner style, even, and the American approach to "French" manicure that is never perpetrated outside of this lovely land.
