The Scoop on the New Boyfriend!

Okay, I know everyone's DYING to know who Loulou is dating, but the last 24 hours have been such a whirlwind that I've hardly had a moment to write! His name is Stephen (pronounced Ste-FAHN, as a nod to his French heritage - his mother's cousin has a vacation home in St Barths!) and I met him yesterday morning when I was scouring Soho for this chic little new boutique that is so exclusive there is no sign or anything. Anyway, I was lost, and the GPS on my phone told me to head east, so naturally I turned right because that's always where east is. I am so glad I have a good sense of direction! Anyway I was so focused on my mission (I can be so driven sometimes it's scary!) that I wasn't paying attention and ran smack into him. It was like something out of a Mentos commercial! It was love at first sight, the only kind I believe in anyway. (Who wants to wait until someone grows on you, like a fungus, before deciding it's love?) Of course it was mutual. He didn't even seem to mind the fact that I was only wearng my thirty-minute-face. You know it's love when a guy likes you even when you are wearing next-to-no makeup. Sigh. So we got to talking, and it turns out his roommate at Brown was my sister Lana's ex-boyfriend's former rugby teammate's twin brother. Wow! I can't believe we've managed to miss each other all these years! We continued our chat at a coffee shop and I confess I forgot all about my errand. Our first official date is tomorrow night (dinner and a party) but we've already spoken on the phone three times and he has sent me 7 1/2 texts (I don't think "LOL" counts as a real text). Off to get ready now. I only have 24 hours to prepare for the big night!
