Swells By The Numbers

Total number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: 47. (We almost counted the mannequin at your right!)

Number of people pictured whom we recognize: 3.

Minority count: 2 (4.2%).

Hats, capes, tiaras: 5, 0, 0.

Getty v. Traina: 1-2 (Gavin for Team G and Dede for Team T).

Amount of money it'll cost you to attend the SF International Poetry Festival this summer: 0! Poet Laureate Jack Hirschman, a Marxist, says poetry is for everyone.

Number of inches of newsprint separating the picture of Denise Hale from the pictures of her estranged stepdaughter Linda Hale Bucklin, whose tell-all book she called "crap" last week.: 11.5. You kind of expect Denise Hale to extend a hand straight up from the bottom of the page to attack Ms. Hale Bucklin.

Number of Chronicle local politics writers who are Linda Hale Bucklin's godsons: 1 (Charlie Goodyear -- the one Chris Daly called a hack!)

Number of copies of Linda Hale Bucklin's book snapped up by one guest at the book release party: 50. Either that person really hates Denise Hale, or really loves Denise Hale and is trying to get all the books off the shelves.

Number of Nob Hill Gazette-designated most-eligible singles seen: 14. (including a "European widower," a "tennis-playing dentist," a "nutrition MD," and a man who "likes women and the outdoors -- preferably together." Rrowr!)

Number of times Nancy Pelosi was seen wearing her Hermes scarf in the Middle East: 3.

Number of flower-print men's suits pictured: 1.
