I realize that this is going to seem dreadfully uncool of me since I work for New York, but there's a story in the magazine this week that's creepily fascinating and I keep demanding that all my friends read it. It's about Eddie Seda (the copycat Zodiac killer) and his Attica romance with his girlfriend, pre-op transsexual Synthia-China Blast. The story's interesting by itself, but the kicker is the running commentary by convicted clubkid Michael Alig--i.e.:

“Eddie paints her these really weird paint-by-number sets, like a soaring eagle or a horse,” says Michael Alig. “I don’t think Synthia appreciates the fabulosity of it. Other than the fact that he’s this crazy psychopath, it’s kind of cute.”
