Swells By The Numbers
We're back from vacation!
Number of heartfelt thank yous from us!: One! Thanks, SFist Mary, for covering for us last week! We're bummed we missed the Vanessa Prada turban, though.
Number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: 57.
Number of people pictured whom we recognize: 8 (including one awesome picture by C.Big of George Shultz with Naomi Campbell. It's probably too much to hope for that Naomi Campbell swatted the tiger tattoo rumored to reside on Mr. Shultz's butt.
Minority count: 7.02%.
Getty v. Traina: 3-2. Gettys (with Newsom in tow) host a party for Bob Woodruff; Trainas party with models.
Hats, capes, tiaras: 1, 1, 0. We're counting the cotton-ball-looking thingie that Carole Shorenstein Hays is wearing as a cape, though it might be a wrap or just a shirt-sleeve decoration. Upon reflection, the crinkled-fabric thing that Norah Stone is wearing is probably a jacket.
Backhanded compliment count: 2. One to C.Big by Evelyn Lauder (Estee Lauder VP) about sun damage (C.Big, your skin always looks great!), and one by Ruby Rippey-Tourk at that Naomi Campbell fashion show, about herself ("I'm Ruby, of the sex scandal Ruby.")
Number of Susie Tompkins Buell grandchildren: As of March 16, 3. Please henceforth call Ms. Tompkins Buell "Goozie."
Charlotte Maillard Shultz photo purchase count: 7 (24% of all photos purchased).

Is the blurb about Ruby Tourk saying "I'm Ruby, of the sex scandal Ruby" really correct? If it is, she's about as bubble-headed as Jennifer what's-her-name. It's hard to believe Ruby's "handlers" and advisors knew in advance about this. In one fell swoop, she has trivialized the whole matter and verified what many bloggers have maintained all along, that she is a loose cannon. This comment seems to indicate that she isn't contrite at all but rather proud of the publicity. I wonder if her husband was at the event. I can't help but feel that this is an insult to him, their son, and the families of both Ruby and Alex. She ought to get on the horn and either deny it or do a doggoned good job of "explaining" it.
i was at the Woodruff party and CSH was wearing a cape covered in fur pompoms. it was actually kinda cute in strange way. BTW, Jennifer Siebel is gorgeous in person but reminds me of a young Vanessa Getty. DIdn't VG and Gav go out before Billy entered the picture?
I'd hate to have to keep seeing photos of Jen for the next four years. Even though she apologized, every time I see her, I remember her hateful words and how disrespectful she was to a local family. Now she's all over town, rubbing elbows with the elite. What she did was an outrage. I wish she would just go away. Gavin really must agree with he if he chooses to keep her around.
Jenifer reminds me of Mary Cheney with long hair.
