As I waited for this picture to download, I thought, "Wow, Eva Mendes hasn't been in a movie in AGES. I wonder what she's up to. A girl's career can not run on dating Ryan Gosling alone." So I looked on IMDb, and she's in the new HBO movie from Larry David, also starring My Boyfriend Jon Hamm, so I guess she's doing okay for herself:

EVEN IF SHE CAN'T DRESS HERSELF. I kid you not, there is FOR SURE a scene in the Judith Krantz masterwork *Scruples* wherein our heroine Billie Winthrop Ikehorn Orsini puts on this very jumpsuit -- presumably before running down to her store to give someone hell. Sexy, sexy hell. And while that is, in a sense, a compliment -- I sincerely love that book -- while Billie WIO remains awesome, her outfits are perhaps best left in the 80s.

(Parenthetically, I will not rest until all of you have read *Scruples* and, in fact, at least 2/3rs of the Krantz oeuvre. She published *Scruples,* her first novel, when she was 50 YEARS OLD, after working in magazines for years, and all of her heroines have extremely interesting, well-drawn jobs. It's nice to read a trashy book where the heroine has all kinds of romantical problems but also has a fascinating and compelling career. I am both devastated that the Natalie Portman-produced pilot of *Scruples* never got picked up, but also perhaps relieved that I don't have to see Chad Michael Murray RUIN the character of Spider Elliot every week. I'm so torn. I long to see that pilot, as I fear it must have been completely hilari-bad. ANYWAY. I also highly recommend Krantz's autobiography. It is called -- wait for it -- *Sex and Shopping*. And it's dishy. Thus concludes this meeting of the GFY Parenthetical Trashy Book Club. We don't like your outfit, Eva, but we appreciate the excuse for the digression.)
