Can you feel the boa swishing? The woman who built a media empire out of cheap feathers is in town for at least two days, set to host a couple of her signature media networking events of the sort that helped her become famous — and rich.
It’s a good time for her to visit our fair city, as company insiders tell Big Head Rob that they wouldn’t be surprised to see Touby sell Mediabistro in the “not-too-distant future… to the highest bidder.” Some media sleuths have speculated that she’s looking for a selling price in at least the low eight figure range.
So, when you’re at one of the events (You did RSVP, didn’t you? If not, just tell ‘em Big Head Rob sent you.), make sure to ask Mrs. Jon Fine all about her business plans. Cuz we will, if you don’t.
