As quoted in NY Magazine:
Simon Doonan doesn't consider the cast of Jersey Shore classy, but forgives them since they're "at least fun." "I love the Jersey Shore. It's great," he told us. "I met Vinny and Pauly D at a party, and [my husband Jonathan Adler] and I were so excited to meet them that I think we scared them to death, 'cause we were just fizzing and squealing like demented fans." But Doonan didn't freak them out too much. "My sister-in-law, fortunately, was there and she's very busty and sexy, so it made it okay. She was there to kind of decoy them a bit, so they weren't so terrified," he explained. "I said, 'I love you. I've written about you in my column. You're so great.' I said, 'Do you know the New York Observer?' And they didn't."
I think it's the "Jane Goodall championing her gorillas" vibe that made me laugh at loud. He must be bored: Jersey Shore?
Mr. Doonan is a genteel, verbose, uproariously funny, genius Barney's Creative Director and New York Observer columnist wit. I wish the world was covered wall-to-wall with real-time, real-live Simon Doonan wall paper.
