We've said before that Mayor Bloomberg's girlfriend (or companion, which is what the NY Times refers to her as) Diana Taylor seems like a classy lady, unlike some other mayor's girlfriends. But we don't know much about her, except that she went to Dartmouth (Mayor Bloomberg accompanied her on an alumni weekend there), she worked in senior management at Keyspan, she was the state's superintendent of banking under Pataki, she was shortlisted by President Bush to run the FDIC but then her nomination got nixed, and she was recently named to the Hudson River Park Trust.
In other words, Diana Taylor is a total mystery - at least to the information hungry public who loves to know things like the Mayor taking his SUV to the subway. Which is probably why the Daily News decided to put Taylor on its cover and feature the most details yet about her. Things we learned:
- She's a lot like the Baby Boom character Diane Keaton portrayed.
- She eats oatmeal and blueberries while being interviewed.
- She didn't realize that she was sitting next to Paul Newman during a dinner.
- She doesn't mind that Mayor Mike is often busy.
- She met Bloomberg in 2000.
- She was married for 6 years in her thirties (she's now 52).
Hmm, the News article is headlined "She's Not Just His Gal Pal", but the Daily Intelligencer notices the News "has called her that at least sixteen times since 2002." We imagine this is the News' way to introduce Taylor the public as First Lady bait.
Also, Mayor Bloomberg waxes about his lady, telling the News, "What can I say? She's got beauty, she's got brains, she's got personality. She's sophisticated but down to Earth. She's one of those people who can do anything she sets her mind to."





she's 52? I thought she's at least 10 years older than that. she looks drawn and frail. 52 is almost christy brinkly age or cheryl tiegs.
diane keaton is 61.
wait? bloomberg is straight?
get the fuck out of here.
"I thought she's at least 10 years older than that"
Not everyone gets botox or plastic surgery.
Oh please, she looks great.
No offense, but Taylor's curriculum vitae is pretty well known for those of us that follow Mayor Mike.
she ain't no milf, that's fo sure.
I too, thought she was closer to Bloomberg's age.
She also has very soft hands. When I met her and shook her hand I had two thoughts: 1) Her hands are soft like velvet, and 2) This is the hand that wanks the mayor's willy.
one word: beard
I'd hit it.
Who cares about that. My question is why she can't get the man to make her an honest woman. And further more, the moral fiber of the country has not declined to the point where he can serious think that the females of America will think that his behavior cute. LLLLLLLLLLoser.
I don't care how much money he has. Does he have the emotional maturity to share a life with another human being legally.
At least Mayor Ed Koch didn't parade relationships around. He kept that to himself.
Sorry. I am not impressed with "that woman" or Mayor Bloomberg.
With that kind of money and power he should be dating two cheerleaders at a time. This is an outrage.
best thing the Bush admin did was to snub her on the FDIC position.
Hmm, she does look kind of worn for 52 but hey, she is an intelligent lady who has probably carried most of her weight all her life.

Most guys like us would think that, but I guess it all amounts to morals and what values were instilled in us from early on. While Mike is running the capital of the world as well as his own personal financial behemoth and facing a possible run in 08, most of us are surfing the 'net downloading ebony porn..LOL
BTW can y'all imagine the official White House portrait of both Giuliani and Nathan? Frightening, indeed!
I think she looks damned good for 52. Have you seen what most women at that age around the country look like ?
She also has a very girlish spirit.
