Where Condi Goes, Trouble Follows

Omar Minaya and Brian Cashman.

Remember how, during Katrina, Condoleezza Rice got all that flack for shoe-shopping at Ferragamo in New York? It seems like whenever Girlfriend puts in a little me-time in the city, mayhem coincides. Last Friday, Condi took a break from all the U.N. hoo-ha for a blowout at the Upper West Side’s exclusive Royal Mountain salon. (That do doesn’t style itself, you know.) But while the secretary of State was getting her scalp massaged, her massive security detail apparently failed to notice a robber holding up a Chase Bank on the same block, and the criminal managed to bolt, fleeing all responsibility. Now, now. We meant the robber. [West Side Spirit]
