Bash Compactor: Like Common People
On Thanksgiving Eve, a gaggle of young socialitesincluding frock star Lydia Hearstwent in for some déclassé fun at Lucky Strikes Lanes. The willowy blonde wore tight jeans and a white Kiss T-shirt tied up high, Daisy Duke style. She tossed a blue ball, knocked over some pins and shimmied over for a tête-à-tête. I asked who was out partying instead of visiting family. She named heiress Jules Kirby and a couple of other socials before looking slightly annoyed. Just friends, she said. This isnt about bold-faced names for me. I love bowling, and its about charity. A Biggie track pumped over the speakers and Julesa bubbly blonde in a yellow headbandhopped on the ball chute and balanced herself in a surfing stance. Lydia wasnt sweating waking up early to travel to her familys estate in Wilton, Conn. Ive been on an airplane everyday for months. Youve just got to keep it up. Just keep going, she emphasized the point. I told her she sounded like a boxer in training. Unfortunately, people dont relate it to that, they just dont know how hard I work, she said with a sigh. I know, its hard work just covering these things. Im talking about the modeling not the parties! The host of the soirée, promoter Matt Levine kept the booze flowing. Sporting a tight buzz-cut and colorful bow tie, he greeted some leggy girls by announcing, Five SUVs are coming and were going over to the Eldridge. Tough-guy entrepreneur Steve Lewis sauntered up wearing a bomber jacket. Levine half-jokingly accused him of leaking a wooden, laser-engraved Eldridge membership card to the website Down By The Hipster.You put yourself out there and people are going to take some shots, and youre a guy that puts yourself way out there, Lewis replied with a slight smile. Now you,my friend, look like a bowler. I used to want to go pro; wear one of those funny shirts! he answered. That was before I got arrested. Now Ive got too much on my mind.
