MK and her lovah, artist Nate Lowman, took their bikes for a ride around the East Village this weekend.

Mary-Kate’s bike has a basket. I wonder what’s inside. Probably Ashley.

MK brought her boyfriend, Nate Lowman, to the Benjamin Cho show on Tuesday.

Nate’s an artist and an NYU grad. You can check out some of his work here. I’ll be the first to admit that I totally don’t get it. But I don’t get most art things unless they’re spelled out for me. That’s why I’m a writer. I look at art and I’m like, “Uh … it’s … purple?” Then I wait expectantly for someone to praise my observational skills. If nobody does, I hike my skirt up and try again. This is how I navigate the world in general.

But I digress.

I think it’s worth noting that MK has really filled out recently. Now, before you start in on me, I am NOT calling her fat. I do not think she looks fat. I think she looks like a normal healthy human being lately and not like someone whose internal organs may be digesting themselves for sustenance. I wonder if this dude has anything to do with helping her get over her food issues.
