    Liz Smith is deluded. El Rio Grande is not celebrated. (Except perhaps by horny guys at happy hour in the summer when skimpily-clad babes are sweaty and squished up against them because the management packs them in like drunken sardines on the outdoor patio.)

    She was married to a photographer, who, interestingly enough, no one knew before ANTM and TyTy "and a photo shoot with THE Gils Bensimon (sp?)." Sometimes in these rarified cliques in NYC people start thinking they are "famous". You know who's famous? The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna; people who are known not just in some fashion circle, but, like, the entire world knows their faces. Am I wrong here in my picture of what being truly famous is?!

    Rio Grande? I think this was a mis-sighting. Somehow I can't imagine either of them ordering a chimichanga with a frozen strawberry daiquiri in a plastic cup. Perhaps it was just a couple of withered pieces of bacon discarded by the kitchen staff.
