Subject: VF notes
Jim,
I am on my knees, Mr. Wolcott, saying thank you, thank you and thank you again for persuading Christopher Hitchens to do his first flat-out, boob-baring n00d pix. Please tell me there’s somebody on the VF team who can slip me some stills of the shooting that day… please. I’m serious. I know you think like I do in this respect, so please … as one good hombre to another … you don’t have to be the guy who passes along the stills. Just tell the still photographer or the editor or whomever caught him as he posed. I’m not a sleazebag either — I don’t pass along stills to the Slate crowd or my friends. This would be just for me, myself & I. Also, if you have any extra Gay Talese, too? Out-takes, perhaps.
