Another Night in NYC ...
I had fun last night with Hedda Lettuce, Marc Jacobs, Bradford Shellhammer and others- but I have no time to write about it at the moment! Lucky enough, Hedda did. So here is the link to Hedda's blog -> click here.
Ok- Update! I have time to write now :) About this pic:
For many years I was a big customer of the SoHo Marc Jacobs store. He is one of my absolute favorite designers, so imagine how thrilled I was to meet the designer and his hot boyfriend at the club Therapy on Tuesday night, when I was hosting an event there with my friend Hedda Lettuce.
Let me tell you- Marc is one of the friendliest and most down to earth celebrities I've ever met.
His boyfriend is a young, hot guy named Jason. It was great to see how much in love those two are! They literally couldn't take their eyes off each other.
Now I rarely read the gossip columns, unless they write about me! I caught the story about them on some blogs, and I was really annoyed to see people digging through their relationship with so much hate. Why the hell? It reminds me of things I am dealing with in my own relationship. My boyfriend is older than I am and he is an important man in the gay community. From the very beginning, press and even friends often give us a hard time. And you know, the most important thing is when people are happy together.
There is no reason to judge and try to analyse these relationships- why are they together? Because they have a great time with each other. Sure Jason is having the time of his life with a man who can give him the world, and Marc is having a great time with a guy who is young, sexy and fun to be with. It is that simple.

I'm confused - gossip aside - Jacobs longtime friend Michael Musto wrote in his column that Jacobs had announced their breakup up and that it was a clean break.....besides the whole babysitter comment.

Why is everyone so hateful about Jacobs?
Because in our culture, hateful as it is, there is an entire array of assumptions about a couple, gay or straight, wherein there is a significant disparity in age and net worth/social standing within a relationship.
Olivia Goldsmith wrote a book called The First Wives Club a few years back, about the first wives who get tossed aside for younger, blonder versions when their husbands become successful.
It's all about questioning motives, whether it's fair or not to do so. Why should a twenty-five year old trophy be interested in a man twice her age, except that he has more money than most men her age? Clearly the fifty-year-old man is availing himself of something that he couldn't have if he weren't rich, right? Doubtless there are those social climbers in the world who work things that way. It's just unfortunate that people look for these kinds of darker motivations in ALL relationships.
These are the things that go through people's minds. Surely you've come across people in your own experience who (while they may never say it to your face) view you as a trophy boy with little worth to your boyfriend beyond your physical attractiveness.
I ain't sayin' it's right, I'm just sayin' that it's how life goes. As you note, the only important thing is how the two people IN the relationship feel about it.
