A day in the life.

Monday, January 15, 2007 by
In a frantic attempt to keep us from taking any pictures of her ("Do we have to? I'm sick of posing.") Laura unclamped the baby from her and took us down to the offices of Shelton, Mindel & Associates to meet the fabulous Lee Mindel.


And he is fabulous. A mile-a-minute wit with a story about everyone and everything, he showed us around the office and dished a bit about the design world and let's just say if we were less...responsible types, we'd have a lot of material for our Top Design blog.

Peter was off at a meeting (of Hates to Appear in Pictures Anonymous), so we didn't get to see him, but the office is gorgeous. We wish we could tell you something about the people that work there, but we were so swept up in the Lee Mindel Experience that everyone else was kind of a blur - like we were walking through a fabulous magazine layout. He is an absolute blast, though. Smart, funny and loaded with personality.

Anyway, we forced Lee to pose for pics, because judging by the comments that appeared the first time he made an appearance on PRGay, our readers want to see more of this hottie. Internationally recognized design superstar? Pfah! It's nothing compared to gay blog fame.

Laura really was there, guys. We swear we didn't just barge in unannounced and start snapping away. "Oh come on, guys. You don't want another picture of me," she whined. Puh-leeze. She's probably obsessing over some imaginary bit of leftover pregnancy weight, but she's crazy. She looks fabulous. And before she could protest, we took the pic to prove it.


So there.

Great pictures. You guys look hot! I can't believe you guys met THE Lee Mindel of Shelton, Mindel & Associates. I bet their office is gorgeous. Laura looks fabulous, as usual.

I'm an architect and have always admired the work of Shelton, Mindel & Associates. Their designs are gorgeous. Fantastic, guys! Does that mean you guys are part of the inner circle of design too? I hate you two bitches.

Vic said...

Lordy, but Lee is hot! Thanks for that bit of Eye Candy, guys. And another pix of Laura.

It's Christmas in January!

Just add Peter to that picture and you have the FabGay4 group. Oh wait, Peter is not gay, but he can play one in a movie kind of thing, right?

Okay, did you deliberately leave out the most important info about Lee? Single or taken? Straight or gay? We must know.

You just give and give!

I HATE YOU BITCHES!!!! LOL I'm SO jealous that you guys get to hang with Laura and family. Lee is kinda hot! You guys have done such a great job with covering our FAVE PR3 designer in all her regal fabulous glamour.

Laura should have her own show, dammit!

You left out the most important info: Married? Single? Gay? Straight? Listed on JDate? Hmmm?

Lee is a hottie and a sweetheart. I met him once at a party. As far as I know, darlings, he's gay.

I love his/their work. Here 's an article (and more pictures) about those chairs.

"The new Shelton Mindel Collection by Knoll—featuring a wood side chair‚ a table collection and two lounge collections—is showcased in the February issue of Architectural Digest."

Linda Merrill said...

Those dresses make my hands hurt just thinking about all the work!

Lee Mindel is yummy. I've seen other photos of him, but had no idea...

Lee Mindel (and Peter Shelton) should be a guest judge on the Top Design show.

Thanks for posting the wonderful eye candy!!! Ok, I admit I'm horny. Oops, did I just say that? But you guys look great. It looks like a professional shot.
Laura? Fab!!! I can only imagine what it feels like to be walking down a busy street of NY with Laura. I bet everyone keeps pointing at her.

BigAssBelle said...

okay, so this is kind of a cinderella story, yes?

there you two were, a couple of happy 'mos in philly, fabulous to be sure, but pretty much flying under the radar.

in what, six months? y'all have become your very own cause celebre and you're dashing off to laura's and lunching with malan and hugging tim gunn and taking up close pictures, standing in proximity to, luxuriating in the aura of that absolute. hot. fucking. man. lee. oh! lee, honey.

ain't y'all just something? very nice indeed.

Huh. I really can't imagine Laura, of all people, refusing to pose for a picture.

Damn. Well, that's par for the course.

(says Gotham Tomato as she throws open the window and leans out and screams, 'Are there any straight men left on this island?!?!')

Here's a great article (and pictures) about the office of Shelton, Mindel & Associates and some of their designs.

Very nice photographs! I never thought about studying art, design, fashion or something creative although I admire creative people more than any other people I've known.

Bill said...

Loving Lorenzo working the V-neck sweater over the white shirt. I can never get the tails to look right when I attempt that look.

I'm afraid that Lee is so perfect, it looks like you have posed with a cardboard print in the first print - something about the light maybe.

What an incredibly fun time you two must have had.

Lee looks hot! Great shots, guys! Bettie, thank you for the links. They're great articles.

Of course Laura's red lipstick is flawless...

So Mr. Mindel gave you lots of material for the Top Design blog? Oh please say that Todd Oldham has an evil side!

Mr. Mindel is a cutie for sure! He looks thrilled to be with you guys and well he should!

Thank you for the close ups of Laura's work! (even though this is the wrong post) Love to see the details!

That's a great idea. Lee and Peter would be great (and hot) judges.
