Blind Item Guessing Game: Shvitzing With Sunday Styles
Did you see Sunday Styles yesterday? If not, you missed the big news, carried over thousands of words jumping from the top of the front page, with lots of art and graphics and philosophical musing, that — and we hope you're sitting down — more people go to gyms now than did 20 years ago. (Who knew?) To commemorate this blatantly obvious fact, Guy Trebay spends 24 hours the Crunch on Lafayette, his local gym, and delivers a piece that in no way at all conveys the experience of spending 24 hours in your local gym. He does, however, catalogue the celebs who work out there, in an oddly bifurcated roundup that names some while granting others anonymity. Why this split, we wondered? And, more important, who are the unnamed celebs?
Sandra Oh is namechecked, "[s]kulking around amiably in sweats." So is "the sexily scrawny Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha," who was apparently "cranking out leg lifts." But unnamed is "the editor of a major city magazine" and "the architect who designed 200 Gucci stores." Matt Damon and Calvin Klein are mentioned as regulars, but we're left to wonder about the "Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist drenched in sweat during Matt Pestorius's 6:45 Spinning class." Most teasing is the sighting of "a prime-time television hunk, walking half-naked to the showers."
So let's figure these out. We need: (1) The editor of a major city magazine, (2) the Gucci store architect; (3) the sweat-drenched Pulitzer-winning novelist, and (4) the half-naked TV hunk. Got guesses? Let us know.
