Second marriages.
This week’s Altarcations was cruelly denied by Gawker after a series of technical mishaps rendered me unable to email in the finished product on time. So I did the next best thing which means you can find it on Young Manhattanite’s archaic “left bar”.
Here’s the link. An hors d’oeuvre:
Speaking of winter recreation, I’m trying to figure out which Utah ski resort Anita Kawatra was visiting when she “fell head over heels” literally and figuratively (isn’t it always?) for Keith Palzer. I’d assume Deer Valley, because its resort-y luxury would probably befit a man who is “the director of product development in the alternative investments hedge fund
group at the Merrill Lynch division of the Bank of America in Manhattan”. (What’s wrong with the catchall “he’s in finance”?) On the other hand, I could see him trying to pump up his skier cred by going to Alta but then, like, staying at the Rustler. Fuckin’ gaper. At any rate, you gotta admire Keith’s persistence: he “finessed an invitation to her birthday party and a ski trip she had planned with friends” before inviting her on a romantic getaway and telling her he loved her on Day 2, and he also “squired her around New York in a wheelchair” and tended to her when she was on crutches for “nearly 2 years” (!) after she took a digger on the slopes. You can never go wrong with the damsel in distress storyline. Oh yeah and PS: David Dinkins officiated.
Go read it or I’m calling off the engagement. xoxo!
Hold the fuck up. Are you people reading this?
Here’s a journalistic scandal worthy of Deadspin: winsome hockey broadcast reporter skates a little TOO close to her subject, falling in love with NHL defenseman Jay Leach while covering his team. What’s next: Suzyn Waldman shacking up with A-Rod? (One can only hope, if only for the sake of Kate Hudson’s career.) But New Jersey Devil Jay Leach wasn’t even the best skater to get hitched this weekend, because the Ottawa Senator’s Ryan Shannon also tied the knot and he has, like, better stats. Two puckhandlers in one day! Gary Bettman’s PR office must be working overtime. While we’re on the subject, I would like to note that Chris Higgins is about to replace David Wright as New York’s hottest young athlete. I’m serious about this. You read it here first, folks!
Oh, God. I shouldn’t even reblog this because Katie just straight-up shames me and she doesn’t even do this full time. If you guys don’t read this week’s Belated Altarcations - which Katie posted to the Left Side, a win-win situation for me (I don’t have to edit it and IT WENT ON THE LEFT SIDE) - your loss. Seriously.
