Peter Braunstein really loves the New York Post. The fashion industry reporter-turned-prison inmate, after being recently convicted of the kidnapping, sex assault, armed robbery and burglary of a former co-worker on Halloween in 2005, gives his first interview since being locked up this past summer to the tabloid.
The current New York Magazine dives deep inside the navel with seven sprawling pages on Gawker. The rather tame procedural is conducted by Vanessa Grigoriadis, who's up front with the disclosures: Her NY Times wedding announcement was savaged by Gawker, New York Magazine currently employs two former Gawker editors, and Grigoriadis peeped managing editor Choire Sicha’s underwear.
There's a whole wide world out there, and here's the proof:
Jodi Wilgoren's NY Times article notes they were underdressed (casual chic - not Talbots conservative) and that quoting Outkast would "fill any coolness gap their father might face with the MTV set." Insert a Nelson Muntz HA-ha here. Vanessa Grigoriadis had a great feature about the Bush girls in New York; basically, they seem like your average 21 year-olds.
Mention my name anywhere, ever, again, and we're going to find out two things: First, whose word means anything anymore in this town. Second, how many times I can slam my fist into your face before someone pulls me off you.Move over, Norman Mailer! Gothamist thinks that an underground literary-media-gossip underground Fight Club (for men and women) needs to be started to shake the tension out. And for that matter, why not start one for the blog world - it's all about the freaks (us) and the playa hating.
