Swells By The Numbers

Number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: 67.

Number of people pictured whom we recognize: 9 (including 3 pictures of Gavin Newsom and 2 pictures of Dede Wilsey).

Minority count: 5 (7.5%).

Getty v. Traina: 10-8 (There's a spread about the LA branch of the Gettys in this month's Harper's Bazaar).

Number of choice quotes concerning Gavin Newsom: 2. One by Dede Wilsey (re the Healthy Saturdays negotiations): "I learned that Gavin is a man of honor. But boy! I hate those bicyclists!" And the other, by the Mayor of Cork, Ireland: [Gavin Newsom] is a cross between the best of Bill Clinton and JFK." We suppose it all depends on how you define "best," right?

Number of conflicting engagements over the July 4 weekend: 2. So John Traina has cancelled his "famed Fourth of July hoedown" at his estate in Oakville, so that he and other society elites can go to the Isle of Capri for Tommy and Patti Skouras's 40th wedding anniversary.

Number of confirmed candidates running for the District 3 State Senate seat: 1 -- Joe Alioto Veronese confirms the rumors. Bonus number: 1 name check for SFist!
