This Week's Gossip
Last Sunday morning was sunny and hot, 80 degrees as Rachel and I ran in Central Park where I told her about the mugger attack on Eve Everson. It sure seems like there's a crime spree here in New York City. The police still haven’t a clue who killed Al Tommasi in the Hoboken car bombing.
The Doll Man continued his vicious moves this week but nobody has actually been raped or murdered. The third doll showed up in Diane Neal's bathtub, naked with a weight holding the Barbie doll under water. The message on her bathroom mirror said, "Joe can't save you, BITCH, I can get you anywhere"
Lt. Joe Friday found the next Ken doll in his desk drawer, this time in a suit with a note that said something like, "What's the matter, Joe, nervous yet?"
Then it was Nelle Porter who returned home to find a naked doll pinned to her bed with one of her kitchen knives. The message was written on her bedroom dresser mirror, "This could have been you, BITCH. Maybe next time I stop by it will be."
Joe was just arriving home, after meeting with Nelle Porter to discuss mutual suspect, when he found his wife Anne and his daughter Janette standing in front of their Bronx home all upset. Turned out the Doll Man left a male and a female Ken and Barbie doll in their shredded up bed with their throats cut. On the mirror, written in lipstick was his message. "If you think I'm kidding..... think again!"
It appears this crazy person is after the police and lawyers involved in some previous legal case. I'm sure that even Joe is nervous now.
Rachel filled me in on her interesting night at Mahoney's this week. She said Jack McClennan showed up. Ella Ricci was there with Richard Stewart, and she overheard them laughing about their little skinny dip in a public Upper West Side swimming pool that night.
Saturday night I met Rachel at the Four Seasons Supper Club, but we weren't drinking our normal Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, we were drinking ice cold lemonade. One hell of a hot, humid, muggy day in the Big Apple. We enjoyed watching Angel Jones slow and fast dance with Richard Stewart. Jesse had better watch out for Richard, he's a hunk, too. They left headed for a horror movie where I'm sure Angel will be cuddling up tight with Richard. I know I would.
I dropped Rachel off at her place at Carnegie Hill where she was hoping for a late night phone call from Mike Miller, who's in Washington, D. C. on business. I jokingly said, "Phone sex?" but she just laughed at me. The short taxi ride brought me home to my Plaza Hotel suite where I faxed in this week's column before spending the night in my favorite chat room.
Entertainment
Rachel has temporarily put her Webmaze Players Wednesday nights plays on hold until September 13th.
