The ‘Observer’: Did We Mention Sloane Crosley Is Soooo Dreamy?Um. Sloane Crosley seems like a very nice person, but she might need to take out a little restraining order on reporter Leon Neyfakh, whose nakedly loving portrait of the Vintage publicist turned author in today’s Observer made us so uncomfortable we actually had to read the whole second half of it whilst peeking through our fingers. Some highlights:
