I realized this event would be no different when we walked into the restaurant and the RBA said to the doorman, &#8220;These guys are VIP!&#8221; I was reassured again when Peskin walked in wearing a fleece vest and mom jeans.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2009\/rba_platinum_advisors_peskin_090311\/_w2w2677_std.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nRBA President Sean Keighran, Aaron Peskin, John O&rsquo;Connor,<br \/>\nPlatinum Advisors CEO Darius Anderson, and Angus McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2009\/rba_platinum_advisors_peskin_090311\/_w2w2786_std.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nRichie Hart, John O&#8217;Connor, Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, Sean Keighran,<br \/>\nAaron Peskin and Supervisor Ross &#8220;Big Poppa&#8221; Mirkarimi.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><!--more--> After about fifteen minutes, I knew I&#8217;d be writing a column for three people because pretty much everyone showed up to this event, except for a pouting and absent Mayor Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2009\/rba_platinum_advisors_peskin_090311\/_w2w2701_std.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nCarole Migden swaps spit with Darius Anderson.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00c2\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2009\/rba_platinum_advisors_peskin_090311\/_w2w2686_std.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAaron Peskin and SF Labor Council honcho Tim Paulson.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Willie Brown needs to stop stealing my game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">When Former Mayor Willie Brown arrived, I overheard him say, &#8220;I came here to see what I could write about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2009\/rba_platinum_advisors_peskin_090311\/_w2w2702_std.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nWillie Brown is the poor man&#8217;s Elaine Santore.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fogcityjournal.com\/images\/photos2009\/rba_platinum_advisors_peskin_090311\/_w2w2706_std.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nRichie Hart, Angus McCarthy, Laura Spanjian, Willie Brown,<br \/>\nSean Keighran and John O&#8217;Connor.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">If Willie Brown insists on biting my style, then he needs to do it right.

If Willie Brown shows up to a party with only one accessory, then he should just turn around and go home.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Mayor Gavin Newsom shouldn&#8217;t rename Third Street after Willie Brown because Willie Brown doesn&#8217;t care about black people, or anybody else who isn&#8217;t named Willie Brown.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And why is Newsom sucking up to Willie, anyway? Some suggest it&#8217;s Newsom&#8217;s way of saying sorry for being a complete waste of space and time.

She spent a considerable amount of her childhood around City employees, all of whom taught her the value of pretending to be productive. After graduating from Saint Ignatius College Preparatory, she transferred schools three times but eventually received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln in Psychology, with a double minor in Political Science and Textiles, Clothing and Design. This unique area of expertise makes her qualified to critique the sartorial missteps and psychological problems of local politicians.
