I guess Lu Parker’s PR firm forgot to send the release to Bruno. I wonder why?

I had to read in the former Green Sheet this morning that It Girl Public Relations – gosh, I hope the “it’ part isn’t a typo – is out trying to stir up some media interest in our mayor’s latest TV newshound girlfriend. <\/p>\n

Wait a doggone minute!  Who’s covered her and her adorable pup, Monkey, more closely than me?<\/p>\n

But noooooo, I have to find out about the PR campaign from City Hall Dean (a nice way of saying  “really old”) Rick Orlov:<\/p>\n

“In a letter to try to get a feature story on Parker, It Girl talks about her having been a Miss USA, her animal rights activism, her work as a KTLA television reporter, actress and author, and, oh by the way, how she has convinced her boyfriend-mayor to have meatless Mondays.
“Accompanying the pitch were several pictures of Parker, including one with Villaraigosa and her dog”<\/p>\n

Meatless Mondays? I’ve already covered that part of the kennel, and, by the way, how do we know Antonio’s even sticking to it?  He has been known to cheat, if you get what I mean.<\/p>\n

And by the way, I’m told Lu first suggested “Wineless Wednesdays” to our mayor, but he just laughed at that idea.<\/p>\n

Not eating dead animals is one thing – it prevents him from becoming Mayor Pudgaraigosa — but vintage dead grapes, especially in incredibly expensive bottles bought by billionaire pals, are another thing entirely. <\/p>\n

If the folks at It Girl PR still want to pitch me, I’m available. <\/p>\n

I suggest they play up the Monkey angle for obvious reasons, invite me to lunch, promise to bring along Lu, Monkey and Antonio, schedule it for a Monday at a great steakhouse like the The Palm and make the mayor eat just broccoli.<\/p>\n

I’ll bring a photographer.<\/p>\n

Woof!<\/p>\n
