Exclusive Club + Communal Coat Bin + Lindsay Lohan = Tabloid Dream

2008_05_lohancoat.jpgTemper your envy of the fabulous going to private parties at exclusive clubs, because this tale of a coat gone missing, seemingly by the hands of a certain Hollywood starlet, boils down to one fact: Meatpacking District lounge 1 Oak has a "common bin" for jackets.

Columbia student Masha Markova tells the Post how her precious mink coat was lost during a party "for a friend of jet-setting playboy Stavros Niarchos.":

...at one point, she was seated next to [Lindsay] Lohan, and recalled putting the mink in a common bin with other jackets.

It was gone when she prepared to leave 1Oak after an hour, Markova said.

Two weeks later, Markova flipped through the Feb. 11 edition of OK! Magazine and couldn't believe her eyes - Lohan was photographed the night of Jan. 26 wearing the very same fur coat.

Ha--the paparazzi, good for something! Markova, who found many pictures of Lohan wearing her coat, contacted 1 Oak, but the club didn't get back to her for several days. So Markova had her immigration lawyer contact Lohan's lawyer, which then brought a call from 1 Oak: "They were very discreet, never mentioned a name or even the word 'coat.' They just said, 'We're going to bring you something.'"

Markova got her coat--"Reeking of cigarettes and booze with a slight tear in the lining"--but still wants Lohan to pay $10,000 for, uh, borrowing the coat for three weeks.

I hope the next time Masha wears that coat in public, some PETA lunatic throws acid on her.

 

Immigration lawyer. That says it all. This Russian crook needs to go back to where she came from, or maybe go to Israel. She's trying to shyster Lohan out of $10,000.

 

also:
surname Markova + immigration lawyer = the most unsexy, stripper-y accent ever

 

it's mind boggling how Lohan is only 4 years shy of her 18th birthday and she looks like a 40 year old long island housewife. I shudder to think what she'll look like in the next decade

 

That's so Russian of her. Masha managed to make Lindsay seem respectable. And I bet she doesn't know who Joel Klein is.

 

deport both of them...

 

Uh why did she put her fur coat in the community coat bin to begin with. That's like putting a baggie of coke in the communal coke bin and then being mad when someone snorts all of it. What a retard!

 

coincidentally, i'm sure lohan has been guilty of that too, #7.

 

they are both disgusting for wearing fur. over 300 minks are anally electricuted(so as to not damage the fur) to get the fur to make one coat. if it is from china, they are possibly skinned alive. great work ignorant cruel women. disgusting.

 

She should sell it on EBay. Surely some loser will pay big bucks for this booze-infested, fur rag.

 

"Stavros Niarchos"? What the fuck kind of party was this? A Depends adult diaper fashion show? And of course russian new money dirtbags were in attendance: Monaco was booked up with Putin's inner circle and the cast of Gossip Girl, so what's a little skank like Masha Markova to do? Flaunt her furry snatch in front of the half-dead Greek magnate in hopes of...cab fare?

 

It's amazing that a college student even has a $11,000 fur coat. Somebody sure has a sugar daddy.

 

Apparently she is an arteest of some sort.

When I see fur, all I can think about is anal electrocution: http://blog.peta.org/archives/2008/05/new_york_bans_a.php

 

Checking out that "art" by Masha Markova is just like 'anal electrocution'.

 

Mink coats are status symbols for Russian immigrants. If you don't have one, you never made it in US (found a sugardaddy or scammed someone big way). I second the motion to deport her.

 

Lindsay Lohan Steals $11,000 Fur Coat

Lindsay's done this before (to Lauren Hastings)

Who would go to a club with a communal jacket bin? Idiots, all of them.
