Ryan, doesn't this piece give us an excuse to re-run photos of fameball brother Jakob during his own (amateur) modeling days? I know you have a link -- but since when did Gawker miss a chance to show bare flesh?
@Nick Denton: Oh fun! Nick's going to start putting what he usually IMs me into comments. This will be educational. I'd say the reason not to run the pics is that we've already seen these images over and over again. Internet: please send in new Lodwick flesh!
@Gabriel Snyder: We deliberately used the picture of John Battelle with the photoshopped fuck-you finger as often as we could until it was *the* image one associated with the Valley mini-mogul. Or Vogue Men's Hud Morgan fey flick of his hair. Novelty's great; but repetitive hammering has its uses in tabloid journalism.
I propose that he should always be referred to as "Lyle (nee Eric)," in the same way one must always refer to "Ann Coulter, 48." Thank you for your consideration.
I'm surprised Julia Allison hasn't taken credit yet.
From her blog in 2007: "With my cameraman & video editor for the duration of the week, Eric. Throughout the evening, everyone kept mistaking him for a model (he's exceptionally tall & thin, and has that sort of model-y look) - so much so, that I made him a bet. If, by the end of Fashion Week, he hadn't yet been approached by an agent, I would give him a twenty - and set him up with one. After hearing what the male models make per show, he readily agreed."
So, I actually lived with Jamie at Georgetown. He's a nice guy (or, at least he was all those years ago). I hope this attention actually helps him, since it's not like he's done anything to deserve public scrutiny.
