AROUND CHI-TOWN

Anyone wondering where last night’s unexpected June heat wave came from need look no farther than the posh downtown hotel where a couple dozen of the hottest men in Chicago were auctioned off for charity. (For charity—or for the hundred or so hungry females in the audience?)

And the star of the show was our own Justin Connelly. Though this member of the famous Connelly clan hides inside the hallowed halls of his family’s corporation, he is definitely not all work and no play! Looking positively studly in his black tux, Justin attracted the highest price tag of the night.

Society debs from the renowned Novak, Powers and Barlow families upped the ante, but it was an unknown bidder who snared the baffled bachelor. Reliable sources identify Kim Lindgren as Justin’s very own secretary. Can’t you see it now? “Miss Lindgren, take a memo…. Check on the status of the research data, follow up with the advertising figures, and…while we’re at it, come give your boss a kiss.”

After all the Connellys have been through of late—with son Daniel’s assumption of the throne of Altaria, his attempted murder, the corporation’s near computer disaster—yours truly guesses even this blue-blooded family could use a bit of fun and folly!
