costume drama: after being dressed down by the post, lydia hearst dresses up
October 31, 2008 5:24 pm
There are two ways to handle a scandal. Option one is to hunker down. Option two is to think Halloween. Lydia Hearst, for example, made a costume out of the recent foofaraw about her now-defunct column at the New York Post, showing up to Alex and Ani founder Carolyn Rafaelian’s pre-Halloween bash last night dressed as “Lyin’ Lydia.” “Well, a headline like that, you can either cry about it or laugh about it,” said Hearst, who got spiked by Page Six this week for embellishing the truth behind her decision to quit her reporting gig at the paper. Hearst, for the record, is sticking to her story, and last night kept the embellishments to her costume. She and several friends were adding some bedazzle to their outfits by stacking on Alex and Ani bangles before heading to the Interview magazine bash at 1Oak. Rafaelian had turned her Tribeca loft into something of a staging area for the Interview do. Makeup artists were zombie-fying guests in the back, and up front by the bar, a smattering of aliens and sexy nurses (and one giant gold buddha) worked on the pre-party buzz. But Hearst, for her part, seemed destined to make a stop at some other staging area down the line. “Actually,” she reported (honestly) of her “Lyin’ Lydia” getup, “this is only my first costume of the night. By the time I get to Interview, I’ll be Poison Ivy.”

OMG…, I love that outfit. Lydia, you can lie to me all you want.
Kudos for being on top of it, standing up for what you think. That is a special quality in these politically correct times. Most people go with the main flow and twist and bend any which way to appeal and through it all completely lose their style and, I am sure, also their inner confidence. Nice job…
