I finally have had a moment to read my Domino Magazine from June/July. Disgust kept me from getting past page 18.

Printed here is Deborah Needleman’s editorial where she gushes on about how great her parties are.  Well, trust me, if I were invited (yeah, like that is going to happen) I would have left by dinner. 

Check out the photo.

The guests are smoking while the food is being eaten.  And the caption says, and I kid you not,

Kicking back,  Interior Designer Kathryn M. Ireland (p. 78) loves meals where the children can mix with adults.

I am certainly no saint, but please, smoking at the table with children?  In an editorial page?? They couldn’t find another picture?  Or are we to think this is cool?
