Gawker Gift Guide Update: No Vincent Gallo Dickin' for the Credit-Limit Challenged

Emily Gould · 12/21/06 11:30AM

You recall that we'd suggested purchasing the sexual favors of the indie auteur, which the generous Gallo had been offering on his website for a mere $50,000 ($100,000 for lez couples). Well, we hate to tell you this, but you're going to have to scramble to come up with an alternative gift for your favorite "heavyset older redhead" — Gallo has told Page Six that he's no longer able to accept PayPal, because the company had some sort of objection to being involved in prostitution or something totally nutty like that.

Nothing says "Hey baby, I bought a North8 Condo and I still have some disposable income left over — Merry Christmas" like a $280 soda-can tab necklace rendered in 14K gold.

We're sure she'll love the unofficial symbol of 'burgy hotness — yes, the mounted buck head (Why? Something to do with this, we're almost sure of it )— rendered in silver or gold vermeil. Seriously, though, there's something here for every chick, and some of it isn't even ironic. Visit the new Bedford Ave. location, but make sure not to go during 'enormous hipster clusterfuck' hours.
