Entry: Love Among the Drones Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/love_among_the_drones#1837 Post contents: Re: "I love Taki, but sometimes his stuff reads like it was written by Elliot Templeton from Razor’s Edge." Posted by Hankest. That's a fairly strong bit to say, though an interesting comparison if you've read Mandolyna's writing and her appreciation for the Bohemian/Beat style (see "Freedom Is For Fools" a month or so ago). Could she be the Larry to Taki's Elliot? Surely not wholly so, as Elliot took himself seriously, and Taki keeps things light with a healthy dose of self-deprecation. While gossip columns are my normal reading, I like Taki's. Black-tie parties are great; there are fewer ways to make a woman feel appreciated than dressing in a nice tux to take her out. And spending time with fun, educated, cultured people is a joy. Seeing what is apparently a large portion of the regulars at the parties Taki attends inebriated by night's end sounds like a situation that could cause nausea and headaches even for the teetotalers in the crowd. Though, if Taki's ever in need of a designated sober to tag along to one of these parties and get him into the car at nights end, I could make myself available! Sent at: 2008 07 08
