Mary Ann Giordano, the victim of that Styles-bashing, can apparently dish it out as well as she can take it. Our inbox is abuzz with stories about how's she wonderful and motherly, etc., but, under deadline pressure, can be sort of a bitch. "I know one veteran reporter who started to have panic attacks because Mary Ann was coming down so hard on her." Also? She's apparently... a kickboxer? "She could have bounced skinny mini-Wintour across the room," said one emailer. That kind of restraint is admirable. Maybe Anita "Bonecrusher" LeClerc was just in a bad mood because she hadn't eaten lately or something.

Here they are, direct from the Times' internal facebook, your Styles combatants: At left, style editor Anita "Bonecrusher" LeClerc. At right, her boss, Mary Ann "Candybowl" Giordano. This doesn't look anything near a fair fight. And how mugshotty is LeClerc's photo? It's almost like they knew something like this was gonna happen. Sadly, this has drained the sexual component out of the story for us. Now we're just stuck thinking about that poor old lady in Queens who was assaulted and robbed. What kind of sick person attacks someone who looks like our aunt?

The Village Voice's food scribe Nina Lalli recently bemoaned the sheer meanness of the servers at Chef Iacopo Falai's Lower East Side bakery Falai Panetteria. As per Lalli, the service isn't only "scattered or overwhelmed or forgetful, but in our experience, the servers have been more than unfriendly. They've been a little scary." General consensus, both in our office and in other reviews, is: NO DOY.
