Last night I attended Glamour magazine’s annual holiday party. But this one was a little different, because editor-in-chief Cindi Leive held it at her house! I love when people hold parties in in their homes, particularly in New York, where checking out real estate is one of my favorite pastimes. Plus, who doesn’t want to see the inside of their boss’s home? It was cozy and pretty and cool, with exposed brick and an eclectic mix of mid-century modern furniture. Though I left with a twinge of brownstone envy, it wasn’t so fancy or over-the-top I felt I’d have to run a magazine if I ever wanted to own a place like that. So I popped a good-luck candy dish into my purse to get myself started. Just kidding, Cindi, if you are reading this. Here I am with my editor, Leslie, who works on the cover stories and the popular Dos, Don’ts, News and Views section. We’ve just been having an intense conversation about Tiger Woods, Mario Batali (she had dinner with him recently), the upcoming season of The Bachelor, and my other editor, Lauren Brody’s, boots. (Tory Burch. Want them.) Oh, and string theory.
