It's so hard to find good anonymous help these days

Just posted: Shiv/Shill/Shine's guide to fall fashion. Neither clairvoyant prose nor pseudonym is mine--but I picked up a bundle of sticks the author dropped, and edited out some low-hanging American Apparel. His nom de plume was apparently non-negotiable. And why quibble when there's such a scarcity of anonymous writers with eyes and ears to the street?

Speaking of which, now's as good a time as any to congratulate Emily Denaro on her quarter-centennial. Yep, she's 25 posts (weeks?) into her pseudonymous Daily Page column. No longer a new girl, is E$.

I am so outraged that I would offer her a column if she cared to switch her style up--pick a name, any name!

If Rich Albertoni wanted to write about rap as "R.A. the Rugged Man" that would also be swell.

Or "RuggA," perhaps? "Dick RuggA," maybe?

Hit up google.

He's a white rapper who once recorded a verse with Biggie--and got booted from his label for being an all-around jackass. He has since reformed his ways and pursued long-form journalism.
