Cosmo‘s Kate White takes the stage

While we didn’t witness any thighs set on fire (note to self: be more vigilant about finding afterparty next time), we definitely caught Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Kate White working a reference to her book into her address to the crowd slavering over celebrating the magazine’s “50 Hottest Bachelors of 2006” last night — billed in a Cosmo release as its “annual bachelor special profiling some of the nation’s sexiest single guys” following the magazine’s “state-by-state stud search” — at Manhattan’s Pink Elephant.
