Nurse Your Recessionary Wounds with Candy

cityfile · 12/04/08 08:21AM

Dylan Lauren stands to inherit a vast fortune, but if you were concerned that her candy emporium would be upended by the recession and declining demand for $4 lollipops, Dylan isn't at all worried that's not going to happen. "I am in a great recession-proof business, since candy is the ultimate indulgence for little cost," she tells Vanity Fair. Dylan—seen here posing next to a giant Swedish Fish—also says that if you're looking to pick her up a Hanukkah present, "a gift certificate for tennis lessons, kick-boxing lessons, or massages" would do just fine. Duly noted! [VF]

The date: August 21st
The place: 1011 3rd Ave.
Sighted: Saw Bill Clinton yesterday at Dylan's Candy Bar. Dylan was also present and looking rather preppy (duh). Bill was rocking a "Hillary in '08" button on his lapel. Very friendly and taking lots of pictures with the ladies.
