Any time a Globe columnist starts a piece off with

Where have you been all my life, Yovette?

we get intrigued. The columnist in question, Steve Bailey, has written about Yovette Markey/Mumford before, and we sense a little self-loathing adoration here. A (rich) entrepreneurial woman who has a history littered with lawsuits against her, including a $6.4 million dollar judgment in a Big Dig fraud case in 2003, she apparently also used to be the sister-in-law of Congressman Ed Markey (who blogs for the Huffington Post). She has had her share of successes, including investing in the company that has since become Sirius Sattelite Radio.

The newest saga unfolding involves an $11.7 million dollar waterfront property, which her jilted alleged lover Haim Zahavi is suing her for "stealing from him." The Boston money bags (who, Bailey reports, drives a black Mercedes with the license plate "Mr Zee"), claims that Yovette used fraudulent tricks (does seduction count?) to "squeeze" him out of the purchase of the property.

A Globe article from last year contains this gem:

Mark Vaughan, attorney for MGM Commercial Wharf, the investor group that purchased the property, said there was a ''handful" of investors. One document names Garron Markey, Mumford's son, as MGM Commercial's manager; MGM's Winchester address matches a publicly listed address for Yovette Markey Mumford.

Garron Markey is also listed as the "Assistant Web Designer" for one of Yovette's projects, SafetyIssues.com. But, as a partial investor in the "trophy property", we figured Garron must be a successful little designer, so we dug a little bit and (drum roll please) found his MySpace profile. The gay 20-year-old includes in his list of interests "extra large condoms," and posted the seductive self-portrait to the right. Rich, young, and attractive Garron is quite the catch, though we'd worry about the baggage that comes with his mom.
