Scene and Overheard
Who knew Last Girl Standing was kind of like confession? Here, the most notable quotes from the last week:
"There I was, standing in a room with 700 women and three gay guys."
–The Boyfriend, in reference to me dragging him to Thursday's opening party for the new ultra-feminine Nanette Lepore store in Bucktown
"Oh, my god. Do you want to die? I think I lost my virginity to an R. Kelly CD. I think we put the music up really loud."
–Kim Kardashian, in an interview I conducted for playboy.com, pegged to her December Playboy pictorial
"South Beach, 1998-turning-1999. The club has it in them to play DJ Kool's 'Let Me Clear My Throat' instead of Prince's '1999' when the clock struck midnight. Quite classic. You could only imagine the laughter that took place."
–Josh K., in regards to his best New Year's Eve ever
"We will extract you from your pals to introduce you to new people. And we anticipate that you'll give us a hand by saying hello to any of the 500-plus people in the room."
