Peter Braunstien, 'New York' Cover Boy
It was only a matter of time before New York's resident axe-lady Vanessa Grigoriadis (who, we might add, did not ghostwrite Nicole Richie's book) got on the Peter Braunstein bus — and when she did, by God, she took the wheel and drove that bus straight to Cape fucking Fear. The cover story reveals the disturbing extent to which the alleged fireman/molester and former Women's Wear Daily writer harbored his obsessions but, ultimately, doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know. Dude's a sick puppy — here's a gazillion words on the matter.
Actually, there was one thing that caught our eye: for the most part, the women who were quoted on Braunstein wisely remained anonymous. Except for one brave soul, Anna Moine, a friend of the 34-year-old Chelsea woman who was assaulted on Halloween, who spoke about the victim's attempt to "rebuild her life."
Oh, Anna. We really wish you hadn't done that. And we certainly hope you're not the same Anna Moine of Murray Hill who was also quoted in the Daily News just a few days earlier. That would make us worry about you.
