  The Real-Life Gangster's Wife from Casino "She was the most beautiful girl I ever saw," Frank Rosenthal remembers. "Statuesque. Great posture. And everyone who met her liked her in five minutes. The girl had fantastic charm.
"When I met Geri, she was a dancer at the Tropicana. She was also a chip hustler. She was a working girl. She had a couple of guys who she went with, and she made about $300,000 a year.
"I used to meet her after work, but the more I went out with her, the more I saw in her. I realized that I was changing my attitude toward her one night when I went over to see her dance at the Trop. When she came out, I saw that she was topless. Suddenly, it bothered me. I walked out. She didn't give it much thought. She just thought I was busy. I don't think it even dawned on Geri that I was beginning to feel differently about her."

 The 50 Best Father's Day Gifts for the Coolest Dad Around So you've got what the kids call a "cool dad." Congratulations—that's a rare breed of father. Not that he doesn't let the occasional dad joke slip through, or wear the occasional cringe-inducing T-shirt, or occasionally mutter aloud to himself about the state of the world while he scrolls through Apple News. But the man's got good taste, and he's more likely to turn you onto a good whiskey, a great gadget, or life-changing music than vice versa. Here's how you can switch things up: Get him an equally cool, completely thoughtful gift for Father's Day. Wouldn't you know it, we've got 50 of those right here, and you've got plenty of time left to shop.  It's Never Too Early to Prep for Amazon Prime Day 2021, As These Deals Prove And so it begins: the anticipation for Amazon Prime Day 2021. Nothing's been made official yet.

Earbuds and noise-cancelling headphones. Cheap-but-great watches. Exercise equipment. Kitchen appliances big and small. Bedding. Hell, beds, too.

 The 16 Best Shoes to Get You Ready for Summer Fall may be the season when we really start dressin', but summer is the season where we get to take it easy, indulge in the warm weather with abandon, and really kick back. And speaking of kicking back: Because you'll be wearing less, each item in a given outfit has to be extra considered, especially your footwear. Those sneakers aren't just grounding the look, they're helping to define it. Those slides aren't simply for shuffling, they're for stunting, too. And those loafers? Well, they really pull the vibe together. With all that in mind, it's time to start shopping for the perfect pair (or three) of summer shoes. Are you in the mood for some canvas plimsolls? Driving mocs? Are you a desert boot dude or a Birkenstock boy? These are the questions you have to ask yourself. And then, once you've plumbed the depths of your personality, go out there and get whatever your heart desires. The sun's shining. The weather is warming. It's time to—dare we say it?—really start dressin'. But it's summer (almost), so start with the shoes.  'It's the Fanciest Hotel I've Ever Stayed In and I'm Only Here Because I Might Die': The Corona Inn Diaries Last winter, Alex McElroy spent eight days inside a New York City quarantine hotel. "It is the fanciest hotel I have ever stayed in, and I am here only because I might die", he writes of the LaGuardia Plaza Hotel, where he documented each and every moment of his mind-bending stay.
