Sandra Lee doesn’t want a fancy title like first lady — and thinks the sexiest thing about her partner is his lifelong commitment to public service.
As for what befuddled New Yorkers should call Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo’s girlfriend, she suggests keeping it simple.
“I want them to call me Sandy, [or] Sandra. You don’t need a title to make a difference,” she said. “You don’t need a title to do the right thing and I don’t think it’s about that. I think it’s about contribution.”
To that end, she’s wasting no time. She’s riding the Ocean Spray float in today’s Thanksgiving Day Parade because the cranberry company donated $150,000 to her pet charity, Share Our Strength, which aims to erase childhood hunger.
Then the Food Network cook is heading uptown to the East Harlem Union Settlement Senior Center, where she will distribute holiday meals to needy New Yorkers with Citymeals-on-Wheels.
“I hope that I can show and share by example,” she said. “Hunger is a real issue. Everyone wants to think it’s a Third World problem but it’s in our own community.”
Despite her reluctance to receive a special title, she does agree with one her boyfriend recently received — one of People magazine’s “Sexiest Men Alive.”
But not for the obvious reasons. “He has been in service to our country and to this state his entire life. Being sexy isn’t just about your external. It’s about your internal,” she said. “He’s a good human being.” jennifer.fermino@nypost.com
