This week, PaperCity magazine's bubbly assistant editor, Molly
Lori, reports to us from the super chic and heavenly cheap city of Buenos
Aires, Argentina, a.k.a. home of the beautiful people. She scoped the onda
('cool') porte�o style and tried not to flirt with too many chicos guapos.
Gracias, Miss Lori.

Clive you are so fine
Lull me to sleep with your brogue

STUNT DOUBLE
Penelope Cruz requested a "double" when it came to shooting the camel-riding scenes in 'Sahara', and we think Matthew said, "babe, you got two times the bounce all on your own; no need to double up on anything when it comes to your bod..." Looks like the prominent display of her double twins is overshadowing everything else (including their Saturday Night Fever-esque outfits) on the current tour de Sahara .
