two-twenty

we want his publicist

Two-twenty has a love-hate relationship with the Times' Sunday Styles section. We are drawn inexorably toward it, shredding less desirable sections in our haste to find out what is "hot" and "in", then we find ourselves lost in a fit of eye-rolling and wincing and judging, and then comes the guilt... Ah, but Sunday is nothing without its traditions.

Anyway, this Sunday offered an enticing mystery along with the news that pink is in (thanks!): just who is Chris London, the artfully stubbly 41-year-old "lawyer and executive recruiter", who got a huge picture of himself surrounded by chicks on the top of the fold of one of the most-read sections of the Sunday Times? A picture attached to a fluff piece about being oversexed, no less!

Two-twenty's curiosity was further aroused (heh) when we noticed that Mr. London even managed to get a rave review of his sexual prowess inserted into the piece! (The gist of the article, if you missed it, was that some guys in New York get so much puss-say and are so pressured by the ferociousness of women's come-ons to them that they must use Viagra et. al. despite being totally, 100% "sexually healthy".)

Well, we found him. Though we cannot be entirely, completely, lawyer-proof sure, and thus state so at the outset, it looks like Chris London is Chris London, Esq., author of the blog NYC Consigliere Corner. In his blog, Chris calls himself an "advisor & confidant to the best & brightest on the NY Social and Professional Scene [caps his] in matters of career, business & relationships". He also supposes that his job title, were he to label himself, might be "Social Artiste". Again, caps his.

Unfortunately, the last post to the blog was back on November 14th. In it Chris speaks of some moonlighting he's been doing behind the bar, and wonders why women "come back for more and flirt aggressively with [him]?" "Perhaps," he muses, "I am still charming and cute." From now on, however, Chris will always have to wonder if the women who pursue him are just after a big, hard, chemically-guaranteed cock.
