The Loneliest Woman in New York

By LYNNLEY BROWNING

SHE used to get foil highlights every six weeks — her shade is Soft Baby Blonde, and she was religious about color — but the last time she called her Manhattan salon, Pierre Michel on East 57th Street, she was told not to return. “I understand,” she said, according to the salon’s co-owner.

The Amagansett florist who decorated her husband’s annual corporate party in Montauk with lismachia, Queen Anne’s lace and thistles has banned her as a client, saying she will not associate with the wife of one of history’s most notorious financial scoundrels.

Even her sons, Mark and Andrew, who have not been charged by prosecutors but are banned by their lawyers from contact with their parents, have begun to refer to “Mom” and “Dad” as “Ruth” and “Bernie,” according to family friends.

Oh boo hoo. If this had happened in China the whole family would have their brain matter splattered on the ground by now and their organs harvested.

"...saying she will not associate with the wife of one of history’s most notorious financial scoundrels. "

Liberals have such selective outrage.

Baby killers are fine company.

Mess with my money, however, and I hate not only you but your family as well.

It’s true. Even Bill Clinton refuses to sleep with her.

On the plus side, she’ll eventually get a reality show.

It’s time for Ruthy to head back to Laurelton (Queens).

She can do what I do, a very sound option, in my opinion. Wash her hair, dry it, and get on with her day.

Perhaps she could read 'Leona's Memoirs'. Might feel better. Or. . .Mrs. Madoff could read of the life - and death - of Elena Ceauşescu - and her husband.

Life could be worse; were she living ANYwhere else; the unfolding elsewhere, most likely, would be quite ugly.
