MER'D Peggy Siegal, Tina Brown
Guests who attended a recent
book party at the Sutton Place apartment of former
New Yorker editor and future
digital news aggregator Tina Brown were no doubt pleased to find in their gift bag a jar of ultra-luxurious
Creme de le Mer, which retails for a staggering $125
an ounce because it's made out of harvested fetus cells or something. A tipster tells
Radar, however, that one enterprising party-crasher actually stole a "significant consignment" of the lotion, much to the chagrin of invited guest
CeCe Coffin, who was gracious enough to supply the jars
gratis in her capacity as vice president of global communications for the company.
For the record, the well-moisturized thief wasn't us. We didn't even know what the stuff was at the time.
