Jaguar handed me the new XK8 convertible for a couple of weeks with—get this—one-of-a-kind Burberry lining from fender to fender! When Denise Rich saw it she practically drooled, and of course I cruised to all the best parties, like the fundraiser at the Southampton spread of Paola Bacchini and Arnie Rosenshein for New York State Senate Republican candidate Marty Golden. When me and my Jag pulled up, Mayor Michael Bloomberg quipped, “Things must be good. I wish I could afford that car!” Right! You could afford a fleet of them!
