@ Paul,

If nasty old women leering around in coffee shops makes you feel THAT self-conscious, then maybe you ought to just buy some beans & make your own damned coffee at home. Wuss.

Sex sells.Fuck all else.[for now]

Ann Romano will never post a pic of herself. Not after all the shit she's talked. Instead, she'll have some dude form darkhorse draw a flattering comic of her wearing Lisa Loeb glasses & holding a martini.

Ann Romano is one of the best things about the Mercury. She is also, I believe, a pseudonym. I imagine that WSH writes most of the column, but I've heard that Chelsea Cain has also worked behind the persona.

That said, I imagine her as being this aging catty bitch bedecked in Betsy Johnson jewelry, reading a copy of Us Magazine whilst she sips idly the afternoon's third martini.
