Brunch is the best thing in the world, ever. It's breakfast food, but with gossip and champagne. I would be highly suspicious of anyone who was anti-brunch.
Ah, Helena Christiensen, I understand! I'm very exacting with my text messages, too. I've tried purposely inserting spelling/punctuation mistakes just to fit in with my friends, but it makes me feel...dirty.
@GreyEminence: Helena Christensen is my kind of gal. I never use text speak when sending texts and it grates when some of my contemporaries do. Reading "R U nearby?" on a first date for example does not bode well if it comes from a middle-aged man.
@Jenna: My aunt's Italian partner hates my shoes so whenever I visit (I might wear a shitty pair of shoes for the occasion) he insists on buying me a pair. Last year he bought me these amazing red Ferragamo heels and they are soooo comfortable. I absolutely have no shame in second-hand shoes either! I bought a super cool pair of Prada heels for 40 bucks from eBay. At least they're broken in :-)
@Penny: Secondhand shoes FTW! This may be the reason I didn't have them reinstate my eBay account after it got shut down for potentially being hacked. :P
(BTW, you might want to check out Ferragamo's book Shoemaker of Dreams, it's interesting stuff.)
@Penny: That's how I feel about it. The best is when someone buys them from a department store, scratches the soles, realizes they don't fit, and then can't return them. I will happily own the cast-offs of the stupid rich.

Unless by background check he means shady-private-eye-type investigating, in which case I will proffer that they seem to have not done a great job.

And no one looks more surprised about that than Cyndi Lauper.

If so, I suggest that he next craft uniforms for French university administrative assistants.

I know! I always reserve my sundays for mimosas and eggs benedict! Journalism has officially jumped the shark.
