''I LIKE to think of our Web site as a bar,'' Bruce Weber said of the new BruceWeber.com, which was reintroduced this week. ''It's like I'm showing my film and somebody from my studio is showing some pictures and somebody else is reading their poetry. It's the bar you always went to after school, in college.'' With no closing time -- and no drinks (B.Y.O.B!) -- the site hosts selected fashion photos, ad campaigns, music videos, commercials and documentaries spanning the last three decades of Mr. Weber's career alongside paintings from a show by the artist Jeremy Everett (a friend of Mr. Weber's), an appreciation of Simone de Beauvoir's book about Brigitte Bardot and high praise for Danny DiMauro, a barber in Montauk, N.Y. The bar you went to in college was never this cool. Shown: Calvin Klein campaign, 1987. HOLLY BRUBACH [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
