Spotted at last night's party at the Googleplex New York: Douglas Merrill, a Google engineering VP who's kind of a geek hottie. Actually, majorly nerd smoking. No, scratch that: The Brad Pitt of brainiacs. Except for his fashion sense. A Valleywag fashion correspondent, working incognito, reports that Merrill was wearing the same exact red paisley shirt he was photographed in for his publicity shot, above. What? With his Google stock options, the man can't afford more than one party shirt? Dougie, give desperate geek-seeking missile Julia Allison a call. The Star magazine editor would be glad to dress you. Or undress you.
