Yikes!

Today, after church, I was sitting--where else?--on the porch of Starbucks reading the NY Times. I was chuckling through the wedding announcements (no same sexers this week), when I stopped at the announcement of Kimberly Guilfoyle, ex wife of the current mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsome, and.. and... some puppy.

The picture of the former first lady of San Fran was just horrifying. Her face looked like that of a department store manequin. And those eyes... Weird and huge and not quite real looking. Could she be a fembot? Nah, fembots looked like flesh and blood women. Kimberly did not.

So she's marrying this guy who looks young and sweet and innocent. Which just sets her off all the more. He's looking directly at the camera with a vacant expression, and she's sort of got her chin on his shoulder in 3/4 profile. Unclear whether the pose is supposed to indicate cosy soon-to-be-wedded bliss, or whether she's about to drink his blood to fulfil the pact she made with Satan in her quest for Eternal Youth.

I was sharing my Times with an older guy with a fairly distinctive Upper West Side lilt to his voice. I showed him the picture, saying, "check out this happy couple."

"Why, she's going to eat him for lunch, isn't she?" he commented.
