Except for socially, you're my role model

One reason why Lisa de Moraes is my favorite writer: "Vittorio -- he aspires to be one of those celebrities whose first name alone is enough, like Cher -- started out studying and performing opera; PBS says he was nicknamed Il Pavarottino, 'Little Pavarotti,' by The Man himself. At some point, however Vittorio decided to chase the money and now goes in for popera....Vittorio makes great eye contact with female critics, wives of male critics, and female PBS publicists."
