"Are the creative directors of Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman going to tailor their purchases according to [her tastes]? Probably not. But is Harper’s Bazaar going to sell a bunch of issues because of the novelty? Yes. Will she end up on morning shows? Yes she will," Blume said. "I don’t think she’s a fashion sage, I think she’s a novelty and I think she’s going to be used as a marketing device as a novelty."

It reminds me of the old joke published in /Mad/: “Q: What does the starship Enterprise and toilet paper have in common? A: They both circle around Uranus looking for Klingons.”

The customer list for these things should double as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes." (thank you Douglas Adams for that line.)

I've had a secret relationship with one of you for the last 24 seconds.

I think it's worked as long as it did BECAUSE it was secret - if you're a public figure and put $$ on the table because of your profession, one cannot be picky, or expect freedom. Good for him and good for HER. Her strength and will power is the reason they've lasted this long imho.

Mona, can I talk to you offline about this? (We talked about this, remember? I told you not to make it obvious ;)
- Cristo
Sure - monamail@gmail.com (I prefer Gtalk since I really suck at responding to emails)
- Mona Nomura
Mona, you didn't respond to gtalk either.

The first and only FriendFeed wedding!
- Sheila Taylor
There have been other FriendFeed weddings, but no double-FriendFeed weddings! And yup, this'll be the last one (unless Prop 8 falls and there are a couple other big surprises!).

The Vegas example reminds of that quote about New York: "A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe and 50 times: It is a beautiful catastrophe." (Mind you, I am pretty anti-Le Corbusier, but a fine quote is a fine quote.)
