    She never asked about a book claiming that Holmes' daughter, Suri, was created from the frozen sperm of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Was she afraid ?


    hah, that's about on par with Mike Wallace asking Obama if he was really born in Kenya... is she fucking insane?

    I, for one, would like to welcome Dame Diane to the fold. Lord Featherbottom, excuse me, Anderson Cooper, should be proud.

    "Food for thought". Because the only thing to do with food at Conde Nast is think about it.

    I would much rather get a gift card than any of the other things? This is a large step up from a glass bowl (which looks to be worth about $15 so it doesn't seem like they've stepped down in terms of pricing here).

    @allyzay: that glass bowl was Orrefors! Not cheap. $15 at their own cafeteria is cheap.

    I'm in the minority on the Orrefors for Conde 2005 bowl, but I like it.

    @allyzay: Lambertson Truex is a crazy-expensive leather goods and accessories brand. Unless the aforesaid bag was made out of cardboard/cloth, I think Conde Nast's Xmas party favors definitely peaked in 2006.

    is there a way to reset it to "gallery"? I prefer clinking thru the headlines more than scrolling.

    Nobody at Conde Nasty eats food anyway, that card will easily last a year.

    Although yeah, it DOES remind me of the year every one of my friends got an iPod from their boss and I got slipper socks from mine.

    @raincoaster: I can pretty well track the health of the economy via my holiday gifts from work.

    2005: North Face jacket
    2006: Nano
    2007: Fila hoodie
    2008: Nothing
    2009: Company raffle for 75 gift cards, including 3 lucky souls who received $50 cards to The Olive Garden. I got nada.

    Please quite encouraging Peyser to come out as a lesbian.
    I cannot speak for all lesbians, but I am pretty sure they don't appreciate commenters trying to foist this dried up harridan onto them.

    My boss cut everyone's pay by 4% last month and Christmas presents just arrived this morning: a Starbucks card for $5 and a note saying "Thanks a latte!" I'm giving mine to the first homeless person I see on the street.

    In 1990, Prudential Securities got rid of the dental plan, then gave us sugary toffee brittle as a Christmas gift. More than one wag in the law department stuffed the "candy" in an interoffice envelope, smashed it up with their shoe, and sent it anonymously to the CEO. His assistant went wild after opening up about 20 of these and circulated a curt memo. This produced more toffee in the mail basket. Good times!

    And yes, I did it too.
