We knew it wouldn't take long to find one more thing to make fun of in Peter Davis' "It Boy" article in Sunday's New York Times. In the fluff piece, the writer rattled a few names of male socialites who are supposedly recognizable by imaginary "female counterparts," and include:

Mr. Leone, 34; Mr. Saffir, 39; Luigi Tadini, 23, a jewelry executive; Derek Blasberg, 24, a freelance writer; and Euan Rellie, 38, the chairman of Lucy Sykes New York, a fledgling clothing line mostly for children, to name a few.

One Mr. Leone would be Giorgio Armani publicist Christian Leone (left), Davis' current beau.

Davis didn't tell readers that he's dating Leone. But fashionable types who knew of their relationship first raised their well-manicured eyebrows on March 8, when Davis penned a giddy "exclusive" for fashionweekdaily.com, reporting that Armani had just "nabbed" Leone to be vice president of public relations.

A spokesman from the Times printed an apology which emphasized that the relationship should have been disclosed to readers. But does anybody really expect a Sunday Styles writer to date a person whose name just shows up in regular face print?
