Choice NY Post Pictures

Left, pet owner at Stuy Town; right, cops go South; Photographs from the NY Post

Speaking of great photographs, the NY Post has had some beauties the past two days. First, in Stuyvesant Town pet battle where landlords are offering employees $150 to snitch on tenants illegally harboring pets, the Post talks to a pet owner but goes to lengths to hide their identities (above left). But now, the CEO of Meow Mix, Richard Thompson is offering employees $160 NOT to rat out the tenants, plus free Meow Mix to cat owners. He's also going to be driving around Stuyvesant Town in that hot Meow Mix Mobile.

In the more sensational case of the phony cosmetic surgeon suspected in the murder of a Manhattan woman whose body was found buried in concrete, two NYPD detectives were set to fly to Costa Rica to find the quack (above, right). The Post caught Detectives Brian Ford and Joe Buffolino, and while Gothamist salutes the job you do, the stereotype of NYPD officers being unmistakable does seem to fit. Suspect Dean Faiello was apprehended at a resort yesterday, and will be extradited shortly.

The photo of the New York cops at the airport in Costa Rica blew my mind. These two guys look like such charectors. When I flipped to it in the paper I think I stared at the picture from 96th st to 42nd st. What a pair! The overwieght google-eyed cop and his partner with his white 80's round toed sneakers. As much as I detest the make over mandess of our airwaves, these guys need a make over! I can just picture them in 1985. Blondie was 50 pounds lighter and with a Flock of Seagulls hair cut. Mustache probably had the same look but was a bit more svelte and sported a members only jacket... as Holly Golightly would say, "The mind reels!"

See, now, to me, those officers do fit in . . . as a pair of gay tourists on their way to visit the strip club wheer Faiello was apparently hanging out. Love the fanny pack!
