Dear BoF, I and another contributor(t)wrote in early August of this year,the situation regarding the state of Chado Ralph Rucci. In hind sight you were given an inside scoop and you chose to ignore it. I now refer you to W magazine October issue in which the writer Bridget Foley conducts an in depth interview with Ralph Rucci.
@Suzy: Thanks for your comment. We did take note of the Ralph Rucci comments, and tried to enquire about their accuracy to get a comment, but to no avail. I’ll have a look at the article by Bridget Foley and will definitely share some thoughts. Thanks for the scoop — we definitely appreciate tips from BOF readers — please keep them coming.
