Nobody Puts Boodro In A Corner

New information flows in regarding Michael Boodro, the editor-in-chief of Louise MacBain's Culture + Travel. We heard multiple reports that Boodro, who holds the honor of being one of the last members of the launch's original guard – more on that below – was voluntarily on the way out the door, following the path of editorial director James Truman and CFO James Conley. Tensions of MacBain's tight-fisted budget were the cause, and his utter displeasure with the debut issue's layout and style were to blame. But we now hear from a source close to Boodro that not only is he happy with MacBain – "they [get along] very well," we're told – he has no plans to quit.

Elsewhere, earlier reports we had, picked up by the Post's Keith Kelly, regarding the exit of CFO Conley was incorrect, we're told: Conley did not leave just after Truman, as Kelly reported; he left six months ago "under a cloud." Read: MacBain wasn't happy with him.

And lastly, on a lighter note, we're pleased to present you with some vintage MacBain memorabilia. From London's Observer's coverage of MacBain's foundation opening come these two gems: A shot of her Christmas card from her previous marriage, and a shot of her with Richard Gere looking, as one person put it, "like she's an extra in Guys & Dolls." Full versions, after the jump.
