Popnography friends and family called all through last night to make sure I hadn't gone up in (actual) flames. Never fear! If Los Angeles burns all the way from those hills to my house we're gonna have way bigger problems than finding an internet cafe to keep you up on your gossip.
Not all gays were so lucky, though. The LA Times' breaking news blog reports:
The hilly neighborhood next to Griffith Park looked like a ghost town early today before evacuated residents began to trickle back. Tall iron gates that normally guarded $3- to $5-million homes stood eerily open, revealing landscaped lawns and secret gardens...
Tom Ford stopped in briefly to check on his house before going to work. He had been among the last to evacuate Tuesday evening. His 1923 mansion, once the home of Col. Griffith's son, backs up against the Roosevelt golf course, and Ford had been sure the expansive green would save it. But as the fire last night whipped the wind up, then down, then up again, he lost faith and fled about 10 p.m.
I'm assuming that's the gay razor-impaired designing Tom Ford, who records show owns some kind of fabulous LA manse.
Poor guy, so scared of the encroaching fire! Taking a wild guess here that he didn't decamp to the local high school evacuation center set up by the Red Cross. Unless he could bring his own valet.
