1. Poker night @ Condo-Nasti (which is now, Condo-Clean!) Friday the 15th? Bring your favorite dip, snack, cocktail or what have you. Wear your lucky shirt and get ready to LOSE IT ALL TO ME! I'm banking on beginners luck!

2. Hermes rejected Oprah from their Paris Store? Why? Do we care? YES! And, I'll tell you why PLUS why this is newsworthy!
THERE IS A PLACE IN THE WORLD WHERE OPRAH IS NOT GOD!

Yes, she has helped make reading fashionable. Yes, she is a fab rags to riches story. Yes, she has encouraged a nation to take a closer look at the foods they eat and won a battle against the American Beef Producers (or who ever it was.) YES, she is the favorite "One person to meet before I die" of beauty queens near and far. But, please, ENOUGH ALREADY!

If Hermes does not want to service Oprah Winfrey when they were previously engaged, or closed, then it is their perrogative to do that. It's okay! It has nothing to do with race, or just plain ol' maliciousness, it's just life. Sometimes you win some and sometimes Hermes is closed.

So classless to complain to the press. So American.

Oprah, just to let you know, please RSVP for my poker game. Otherwise, there may not be any room for you. FYI.
