This is just a bit of housekeeping but in response to Fixed Income's query as to why Phil Falcone's wife was dressed, in FI's words, in a "slutty school girl outfit with heels and socks" at the opening of the High Line* a couple weeks back, the Harbinger founder's wife had this to say, via the Times:
If she wears Fogal ankle socks with her Hermès high heels -- as she did to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's news conference at the opening of the High Line earlier this month -- it's because she is busy with her 4-year-old twin girls, she said, and lacks time for a pedicure.
Happy? Hopefully you'll now get off the woman's ass. (Sadly Lisa "Dime Piece" Falcone proffered no explanation for the outfit at left, though, really, is one necessary?)
*The couple generously donated $10 million to the project.

The crucifix reminds me of John Waters', gosh, I think it's Multiple Maniacs, where the chick does the other chick with the crucifix in the church pew. I can still here that plunging noise. Highly recommended for Db fans.

Posted by guest , Jun 30, 2009 2:37PM
is she wearing a garbage bag?
Posted by guest , Jun 30, 2009 2:39PM
Phil is UGLY. I checked, thinking he was going to be a typical Italian hedgie which is basically a guido with a lot of polish. Think dark wavy hair, muscles, nose just big enough to be sexy. Not Falcone. I'm guessing he's 87.5% Irish.

Looks like she raided the closet of MC Hammer's garbage man. What undies are underneath that monstrosity... oh wait, since there are so policitians in attendance, she went commando.
Make it clap.

Not saying you're wrong. Just saying I've worked for a guido PM and thought he was a rare breed.

18 A lot of hedgies are driven good looking well built Italian guys. They've basically repackaged the guido thing to their advantage. So much so, you don't even see it any more.

She looks like the wench that served me when I celebrated my birthday at Medieval Times. Best b-day I ever had. I was seated in the blue section, unfortunately the the blue knight lost. The little kids in my section freaked out a little bit when I screamed in the early rounds, "Cut off his head!" By the end of the night we had the rowdiest section and those little dudes couldn't get enough Pepsi and death.

Let this be a caution to you all. When your super hot, ex-prostie wife asks you what to wear to an event do not reply "surprise me."

The NYT article was decent and they made it up on their own (unlike trust fund people). But whats up with the crazy clothes? Even Phil looks uncomfortable with her in the pictures

Some free advice that Falcone could have used a couple of decades ago: you want to think long and hard before getting into a committed relationship with someone who literally everybody stares at when you go out in public.

Thank God for LM and her husband. There comes a point in a high-end institution's history, be it a private school, museum, or country club, where new-moneyed blood is welcomed. There are only so many capital campaigns the Whitneys and Phippses of the world can lead over a 100 year period. That railroad trust fund money ran out a while ago.

Posted by guest , Jun 30, 2009 11:59PM
Anybody know how old that dime-piece trollop is? WTF is on her left tit?
Guests@#12/#23...That garbage bag is considered to be a designer original, and it must have set the wannabee whore back at least $15k.
NYC society certainly does welcome fools like her into their midst. They take the money and then talk trash about her when she's not looking.
WTF makes her think that an outfit like the one she's wearing is considered acceptable attire anywhere? Those f'n shoes look like something from that TV series, "Xenia the Warrior".

Bess - Congratulations! The NYT uses DB to prep for interviews with wives of hedge fund managers.
I love that she uses being a mother of 4 year old twins to explain away a tortured sense of fashion. They can afford to give $10 million to High Line but have no money for live-in help to watch the kids for an hour while she gets a pedicure? She did find time to play no role in the ribbon cutting ceremony. I repeat my request that they donate money to a hospital so she can dress like a naughty nurse for that ribbon cutting.
Thanks for making my day, Bess. Sorry for the delayed response but was traveling.
@32 wins best post.
