    How Many Cities Should We Burn When Obama Loses?

    In the good old days of the 1960s, everyone was always scared that Black People were going to burn all the cities down. They burned a couple pretty good, understand, and then all the white people left the cities and things sucked for a generation or two, until the white people all came back, thanks to Rudy Giuliani. Now, though, if Obama loses, Black People will burn all the cities down, again! It's true, syndicated talk radio host Bill Cunninghan (that is an actual photo of him) said so, on his radio program.

    Where Did You Spend Your Fashion Week?

    Well, you are a plebe, so you obviously didn't spend it with Bill Cunningham. The New York Times' roving fashion photog doesn't waste his precious film on just anyone with a cute tank top and those adorable sandals you got on sale. The guy is hanging with Eva Mendes, for Pete's sake! Mayor Mike! People named Rockefeller! Peggy Freakin' Noonan!! Maybe next Fashion Week, you'll get into one of these beautiful people parties, but let's be honest—you're nothing but a pair of shoes to this guy.

    Times Fashion Photog Bill Cunningham Dismisses Minion

    Getting your photo snapped by New York Times fashion photographer Bill Cunningham as you click around Manhattan is every girl's secret dream. But Fashion Week is full of heartbreak—there will always be more richer, thinner, and better-connected than you. Cunningham, who captures seen-about-town street style, is apparently no exception: a student from the Fashion Instutite of Technology says he summarily dismissed her with a "slight wave of his hand" when she spotted her idol in the FIT lobby earlier today: More »

    Times Photographer Waiting For Youths' Pants To Fall Off

    In his "On The Street" slide show for the Times Style section today, longtime fashion photographer Bill Cunningham (pic) can't get over the kids today and their saggy jeans. In fact, Cunningham keeps waiting for a pair of low-slung trousers to fall off someomne's torso, yet they refuse, and the whole thing is a tragedy. Said Cunningham: "I have waited and thought, 'Oh my God, I'm going to get one right now, his pants are going to fall off. And it hasn't happened. It's just terrible. I've waited and waited." But he'll probably get his coveted "saggy jeans fall off some kid" shot soon enough since, according to Cunningham's theory, male waistlines seem to fall in sync with the ailing stock market.

    Get To Know New York's Hottest Photographers

    It recently occurred to us that the men (yeah, they're all men) who take New York City's party pix are in a dangerous, fun, peacocky league of their own. And aren't they, after all, the most important people to know if you want to work the benefit circuit and the little red carpets? So who are the hotties behind the hot photos of hotties? Why don't you tell us which lensmens' charms inspire you to give genuinely good face? Ball-rolling: we hear extremely good things about former Patrick McMullan photog Chris Ford and WWD's Steve Eichner. Of course the Times' Bill Cunningham is everyone's favorite uncle. But who really uncaps your lens, ladies and gents?

    The Fake Bill Cunningham Is Known to Authorities

    So! More on Fake Bill Cunningham. Apparently NYM was tipped off to this guy a few months ago, and they've ID'd him as a man named Chris Callahan. But another tipster informs us that FBC might have a more insidious past:
    His name is Peter Gianquinto, I encourage you to google him. He has a long history of posing as various managers/photographers as well as a more serious connection to the recent DC sniper shootings. He is a career con man and I have seen him put food in plastic ziplock bags from events. He always wears a hat has long blonde hair in the back and is almost always in a suit and tie. I know this for a fact as I met him at an event once and he later contacted myself trying to send emails from fake addresses, I never spoke to him again. He is marked by many of the high level security agencies GSS etc as being a fraud.
    We did the requested Googling, and did indeed find evidence that Gianquinto has been arrested for, among other things, claiming to be a representative of the Rolling Stones, and also consorting with the Washington snipers. Whether this makes him a Fake Bill Cunningham, we have no idea. Do let us know if you've heard such things rumored.

    Party Crashing, Photographer Style

    He's clearly not in the same league as Priyantha Silva, but there's a party crasher in town who's trying to get on various lists by posing as NYT photographer Bill Cunningham (pictured at right), as this publicist-cum-tipster reports:
    Fake Bill called my office a few times about some really strange events in the Fall—things the NYTimes would never cover. Plus, the guy sounded like he was 10 years old. Bill's a little more ... mature. At the time, I remember thinking he was an idiot to try to crash parties as Bill Cunningham. If you are going to crash a party, the LAST person you should pretend to be is Bill Cunningham! Dude should have just pretended to be a wire photog...
    Well, it appears that Fake Bill wised up. More »
