IN THE SNOOD...

For many Jews, a snood is a sign of a married woman's affiliation with an Orthodoxy that's traditional enough to demand that married women cover their hair in public, and modern enough to not insist on a wig. Now, Gawker reports that Chloe Sevigny is wearing one:

on saturday i saw chloe sevigny browsing the non-fiction section in the union square barnes and noble. she was surprisingly subdued in white overall shorts and a white tank. of course it wouldn't be chloe without something bizarre, she had on a white crocheted snood. i was in a rush, couldn't see what she was buying.

Since she was photographed shopping on a Saturday, my guess is that this does NOT mean that Chloe's gone the way of Madonna in embracing Jewish religious paraphernalia.

Oh boo. I thought you were going to be writing about the highly addictive game of the same name. I wear my Snood Tshirt, but I don't think that's what you meant. And I'm not Jewish. I don't know what I'm doing leaving this comment ...

I never heard of a game called Snood. Now I'm intrigued...

I had never heard of a snood before last night's Daily Show (with your boy John Stewart). Now I hear about it a second time, ever, today. Weird.
