The [James] Truman show
I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago about Jen Bekman, who runs an art gallery in Nolita and keeps a photolog about it. I have since managed to co-opt Jen as a Gawker spy and she reports that she saw the public-transportation-loving Conde Nast editorial director James Truman at a book signing and even convinced a friend to take a picture. Why is this significant? Because last week someone mentioned that Truman takes public transportation all the time, but no one recognizes him. Well, that's just not fair. Just because Truman doesn't demand that fat people be removed from his line of vision or publicly blow smoke in the mayor's face (literally and figuratively) doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve as much attention on Gawker as other Conde Nast executives. So here's a lovely picture of Mr. Truman for all to enjoy and use as a reference when scanning faces on the subway.
