The Times Spends Light Brunch, Lazy Sunday With Jason Wu

Thanks to the rain and other factors, our Sunday was perhaps even more lazy than usual — we couldn't even rally for a late showing of Up. But reading Robin Finn's interview with Jason Wu regarding his regular Sunday routine made us feel a tad less guilty. If award-nominated rising fashion talents spend free afternoons at nearby Strand followed by a round of poker, then our comatoselike state isn't that bad. It's also reassuring to know that even if young Wu places gowns on First Ladies and garners CFDA nominations, he's still kicking around in Whole Foods wearing Levi's and Converse and gawking at Madonna running in and out of her Kabbalah classes like the rest of us.
