A day in the life.

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.

  18. 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."

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 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.

    ReplyDelete

  31. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  32. 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.

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

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

  35. 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!
