Filmmaker to Talk Valentino, Man of Many Pugs

Matt Tyrnauer, Vanity Fair special correspondent and director of the documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor, will be at the Arbor Theatre on Wednesday (5/5) and Thursday (5/6) to conduct Q&A sessions at the 4:50 and 7:15 shows. (See the Chron's review here.) Tyrnauer followed the legendary fashion designer around with a camera for 3 years; we're betting he's got some scoop that didn't make the final cut.
Speaking of scoop (rimshot!), check out this video of Valentino's five pampered pugs. 'Cause there's nothing like watching a pug get his teeth brushed to the sound of a Fellini-esque score to really jumpstart your afternoon.
