From an article on related to clothing fashion referencing a particular clothing shop called Windsor Custom: “DO you think gingham is waning in popularity?” Brian Anderson, a principal at a private equity firm, asked as he shuffled a stack of fabric swatches in the sitting room of Windsor Custom, a clothing shop decorated in navy blue and beige to resemble the rec room of a Hamptons cottage. He considered them, quite intensely. A two-ply cotton herringbone. A sateen cotton dobby. A basket-weave oxford. Each was a slightly variant shade of pink.
Hanging above the bar in the billiard room next to him was a portrait of Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, so placed as to inevitably call to mind the boardroom scene in “American Psycho,” in which the character’s obsession with presentation reduces him to tremors upon the sight of a colleague’s business card, its subtle off-white coloring trumping his bone. Opposite Mr. Bale is a painting of Jonathan Goldsmith, the man who plays “the Most Interesting Man in the World” in the long-running series of television commercials for Dos Equis beer.
Windsor Custom, if you hadn’t gathered, is the kind of place designed for men who pay attention to the kind of details other men will notice, preferably with envy. www.nytimes.com/2011/12/15/fashion/windsor-custom-at-the-ainsworth.html

A wittily written notice of the American Psycho screening in New York's Film Society of Lincoln's Freaky Fridays series: July 18 presents what might be called the even darker side of Bruce Wayne. In Mary Harron’s “American Psycho” (2000), based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel, Christian Bale plays a dapper, self-obsessed Wall Street player, possessed serial killer and connoisseur of dreadful Reagan-era pop. Jared Leto, Reese Witherspoon and Chloë Sevigny lend support. Where else will you find designer names interspersed with references to Ted Bundy and Ed Gein — or the term “mergers and acquisitions” confused with “murders and executions”? (Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, 144 West 65th Street; filmlinc.com.)

A letter to the NYTimes Editor re the book: www.nytimes.com/2000/05/07/style/l-literary-massacre-132004.htmlLiterary Massacre MAY 7, 2000
To the Editor:
In response to Rick Marin's article '' 'American Psycho': Sliced. Diced. Back.'' (April 9), I don't think people were so shocked by the content of Bret Easton Ellis's book as by the fact that the literary cognoscenti were marketing this ham-fisted (and headed) fluff as ''literature.'' If you repackaged ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' as a novel, dumbed it down and then touted it as high literature, you'd get the same reaction of outrage today.
