Working for the weekly alternative to a small to middling city daily oftentimes means that you're not on the A list for info dissemination. Today by sheer accident I discovered that thee Sarah Ferguson/Fergie/Budgey Creator was in town promoting a new book and the glee of personal weight loss. I was about to do some quick phone calling, driving, self-credentializing, and documenting when I recalled something: Fergie borrowed a pair of Di's shoes and later said that she caught warts from the shoes. This so enraged Di that she cut off Fergie forever - and they didn't reconcile before Di's irresponsibly chauffeured/papparazzi-induced death. To lend a pair of shoes is a great gesture of kindness and to repay that gesture with the accusation of foot warts breaks the girlie code. I stayed away.
