The Sleb’s Prayer

Our publicist which art in Chinawhite
shallowed be our names.
Thy quick-fix come,
thy stunts be run
in Heat as they are on Popbitch.
Give us this day our daily big-ups
and forgive us our coke deals

Lead us not into the Priory
and deliver us from journalists
for thine is the Twitter, the spin-cycle and the story
for fifteen months and forever.

Amen.

Adam Horovitz

I was pleased that Richard liked the book and enjoyed the sizzling banter, which riffed off yesterday’s blog about rescue plans for Fred Goodwin as well as others.
