Swells By The Numbers

We missed you last week, Swells!

Total number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: 59.

Total number of people pictured whom we recognize: 8 (including Tracy Chapman, Dianne Feinstein, and... hey! Welcome back, Charlotte Maillard Shultz!)

Minority count: 3 (5%).

Getty v. Traina: 3-1. Al Wilsey is counted as a Traina.

Hats, capes, tiaras: 0, 0, 0.

Stanlee Gatti count: 2.

The number of square feet that Dianne Feinstein says former Petaluma chicken farmer Gerson Bakar has developed in San Francisco: more than 1 million.

The number of children Denise Hale says she has: 2 -- one is Liza Minnelli (because Denise Hale was married to Vincent Minnelli) and the other is Vanessa Getty (because Denise has always seen Vanessa as a protégé.)

The price of a wine that will taste better in a proper "sexy" Fume Blanc glass: $5. "The glass serves as a delivery system to parts of the palate best equipped to distinguish nuances between a Pinot versus a Chardonnay."
