...Pair of Garters. His Manhattan studio on 18th Street has a dusty, comfortable, behind the scenes look; it is littered with circus costumes, antlers, decoy ducks, a trumpet, a mandolin, a pair of pink garters. Photographs of archaic Greek statues share the walls with theater posters, cutouts of full-blown society belles of the '90s, and shiny dragoon helmets...

From the vast Guggenheim chateau at Port Washington or their bandbox house in Manhattan, her deceptively lazy drawl often calls pink-cheeked Managing Editor Alan Hathway, a Daily News alumnus, at any hour of the night...
