Alex Kuczynski: It All Started With the Pubes
In our continuing effort to understand the new Alex Kuczynski, the Times reporter who is now composed of living tissue over a metal endoskeleton, we're reminded of a passage from Michael Gross' 740 Park, a history of the exclusive apartment buillding:
Kuczynski, a five-foot-ten-inch brassy, whip-smart, and ambitious blonde, makes no bones about being a sexy woman—and she's outspoken about it, too. At her first meeting with a fellow journalist several years before her marriage, she shocked him by announcing, apropos of nothing and long before it became a fashion, that she'd had what's called a Brazilian, removing her pubic hair to improve her sex life with an earlier lover, a TV newscaster. The daughter of a Peruvian economist and banker, she began seeing [Charles] Stevenson in 2000. Engaged a year later, they were married in November 2002. Soon after that, Kuczynski left her full-time job at The New York Times to write a book. She was overheard not long ago while on the treadmill in the small gym in 740's basement discussing her desire to follow the book with a baby. Stevenson is no doubt pleased. "He likes 'em pregnant," says his friend.
That is, assuming a fetus can grow in a polyethylene womb.
