Legendary gossip columnist Cindy Adams provided a brief scare about a longtime New York City institution this morning, with a column headlined: “Copacabana is gone after 80 years.”
The Brazilian-themed nightlife spot is arguably the most famous cosmopolitan club in the world, having seen a myriad of celebrities in its near century-long existence. “The Copa changed locations four times. Its last incarnation on West 47th just waved goodbye. Gone. Closed. Finito. Lights out. Will a fifth version open someday? Who knows? Will the Statue of Liberty ever wear jeans?” wrote Adams.
However, a representative for the Copacabana tells Jezebel the club has only temporarily shuttered due to covid-19. But this does provide a nice opportunity for a quick trip through the club’s glamorous history. The spot attracted Sinatra in the ‘50s, Warhol in the ‘60s, and rock stars in the ‘70s; it’s the subject the earworm Barry Manilow
. Here are Carmen Miranda and Groucho Marx posing in the Copacabana to promote eponymous 1947 film, set in the club.

A Brief History of CameltoeSeveral weeks ago, having embraced the excuse to swear off zippers and buttons for the foreseeable future, I bought a few pairs of discounted yoga pants. When they arrived, I excitedly ripped off the tags and tried them on, only to discover an inexplicably dramatic crotch seam that divides as the thin, clinging fabric simultaneously unites. “Holy cameltoe,” I said to the mirror. These pants seemed structurally engineered to maximize the front-wedgie effect, like a pushup bra for the crotch. I took my predicament to Jezebel Slack, genuinely wondering whether cameltoe had moved from faux pas to fashion without my knowledge. One of my editors helpfully informed me, “Tracy, you need leggings with a crotch gusset sewn in.” Turns out I’d just bought some poorly constructed yoga pants.
