If you’re a single lady socialite — sorry Olivia, social — in New York City, then you always need arm candy to escort you to fundraising galas, charity balls, and non-profit soirees (yes, those are all the same thing). For Manhattan’s upper crust, and those wishing to be, the man on your arm invariably happens to be … gay. There’s Tinsley Mortimer and Peter Davis, Fabiola Beracasa and Derek Blasberg, and (pictured) Amanda Hearst and Luigi Tadini*.
* The adorably soft-spoke Tadini, a Brazilian jewelry heir, isn’t officially gay. At least not since we checked in last. But you know, judge for yourself.

He’s as gay as a clutch purse full of Rip Taylor’s confetti.

Ya’ll be nice now.
He is just adorable ..who cares if he is gay or not.
I was one of those boys once and we all were gay – always.
Luigi is precious – be nice

David, I actually laughed-out-loud at that. Many thanks 8^)

God, I can’t bear to watch that foolishness when the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Hamptons, “cocktails,†fabulous parties for your friends. Would they stay his friends if he lost all of the money? I wonder.
But, yeah, he’s adorable as long as he keeps his mouth shut or keeps something fat and juicy in it.

My instinctive reaction is pity and disgust — but on the other hand, being some debutante’s lap dog can’t be too much more soul-draining than the office job I’ve recently had to accept.
We all do what pays the bills, I guess?

Patsy Stone (fictional character of Absolutely Fabulous) refers to gay escorts or “walkers” as Fag Bangles. Wear It!
