This week The Stranger’s gossip/music columnist/institution Kathleen Wilson silences “Some Candy Talking” (the warmer, fuzzier sequel to “It’s My Party”). In her goodbye she thanks the academy, but doesn’t explain her departure. [stranger]
We’ll admit that some of the fun of K.W. spottings was diminished when they started publishing her picture along with the column and will sincerely miss her relentless coverage of whatever events happened to occur at the Cha-Cha Lounge on any particular night.
Good bye Kathleen! No one made aging hipsterdom look better.
