What Would Simon Doonan Do?

“I buy the same gift for everyone on my list, thereby saving time and avoiding jangled holiday nerves. In addition, I make sure that my choices reflect my own personal causes and affiliations. Here are this year’s selections, chicks first: I will be buying all my female friends Lady Gaga Born This Way lip gloss by Francois Nars… The blokes: This year my male friends will be receiving a peace candle from my husband, Jonathan Adler, partly because I am committed to supporting my bloke, but also because it comes in a gold ceramic studded container which makes a perfect vide-poche once the candle has expired.”
 — Simon Doonan said “vide-poche” because of course he did. My dad does this only he gets everyone down pillows from Sam’s Club and then puts them inside pickle buckets covered with wrapping paper to trick you into thinking you’re getting… really light pickles?
