Ahh the blind item, that hallmark of gossip rags. Drop a few vague personal identifications, a scandalous tidbit and leave out the name, and you've got yourself a blind item. And, given that Boston is a two-paper town, we of course only have one real gossip column, the venerable Inside Track, and they've brought back their Tales from the Naked City blind item feature, so we're here to lead the gossip-guessing fun. We picked one light-hearted, if a bit embarrasing (and perhaps a bit too easy) entry, and we'd like to hear your guesses:

Hear about the PR spinmeister who was ever-so-desperate to get his mug in a local publication’s column about globe-trotting Bostonians? Apparently, if you send in a picture of yourself reading their rag in an exotic locale, you are a shoo-in for free ink. So the spinmeister doctored a pic he took of himself in Israel so it appeared as though he was holding the aformentioned publication - and got his desired plug. Ah, the wonders of Photoshop!
