T minus four weeks until the Imaginary Socialite launches her very first batch of t-shirts.
In the meantime, can you guess which real socialite sported this slightly redundant tee yesterday?

We’ll Give You the Shirt Off Our Blog
Friday, September 30th, 2005Better Than Career Week
Friday, September 30th, 2005Just discovered the best website, JobPredictor.com. Plug in your name, and it invents your perfect career.
Below, some of my favorite advice from the site…
Tinsley Mortimer should be an assassin
Fabian Basabe should be a shoplifter
Aimee Phillips should be a pro soccer player
Kate Moss should be a cowboy
Giles Bensimon should be a professional shopper
And… the imaginary socialite should be… a Goal Scoring Superstar Hero!
We should do this blind, like “I heard [a princess] got mad backstage at her show because [another assassin] crashed and [the princess] didn’t recognize her without her makeup, and thought she was just some random kid.”
That would be fun, right?

Meet Your New Crush 11
Friday, September 30th, 2005
We’re crushing on Ali Kay based on one quote from last night:
“I wish I had $15 million dollars! Really I have more like, $15.”
Also, we got a sneak peek of her new pajama pants, and we’re already crushing: they’ve got this really chill Gwyneth-does-yoga vibe.
Which sort of makes me think that Ali’s actually done yoga with Gwyneth… that bitch!

A Tale of Two Parties
Thursday, September 29th, 2005
Standing with The Plastics, and Hud, at Intermix.
We can’t decide what’s louder, the flashbulbs or the chatter, and suddenly I feel a tug on my tee, and Fabian says “excuse me” and Martina giggles.
That’s definitely our cue.
Outside the cobblestones are damp and Elisabeth’s still holding her wine. They play The Stones, and then she says, “I like this party. I’ll never find a boyfriend here.”
Fast forward two hours, and I’m pushing towards Jordan at Webster Hall, and the guy behind me yells to his friend, “sometimes you hear Nirvana and it tears your heart.”
Fast forward again.
This morning there’s a purple line down my wrist, and I can’t remember if it’s when I saw this Matthew Williamson dress and had to stop myself, or when Sarah hugged me so hard at Spin, I almost fell over.
Probably both.

Pod People
Thursday, September 29th, 2005Most publicists get pitch lists and pressure from their bosses.
Not a certain group of glowing A-listers, who just got an iPod nano from their proud PR firm president… apparently, they really rocked it during Fashion Week, and she wanted them to have a cool reward.
How very Oprah!

Glamourama
Thursday, September 29th, 2005We can’t wait for the December issue of Glamour to hit stands. Fortunately, we already know about one of the articles! Check it out…
Hi, ladies.
Glamour’s doing a guide to foreplay. For part of it, we want to hear from men and women on two questions:
1) What’s the most creative foreplay you’ve ever experienced?
2. What’s your signature foreplay move?
Obviously, we’d like to get a little detail in the answers. Also, we’d like to find some men and women
who are willing to be interviewed further on this topic. Everyone will only be identified by first name
and age, but please also include contact info for fact-checking (phone and
e-mail.)
If you’d like to help Glamour with their research; email me and I’ll forward your contact info onto their editor.
And please don’t share your answers with me.
No really. Don’t.

Lesson #7: How to Have Fun
Thursday, September 29th, 2005 
1. It’s okay to huddle with your friends for the entire night.
2. Dance when you like the song. Even if it’s Hollaback Girl. Even if it’s only playing in your head.
3. Wear gorgeous heels. With jeans. And your 9th grade soccer tee. And a huge smile.
4. Or you could just be Theodora Richards.

A Very Merry Unbirthday
Thursday, September 29th, 2005
Today the Imaginary Socialite turns 5 months old.
To celebrate, I bought myself a cupcake, then checked out the web stats.
Because you’re dying to hear all about you, right?
So far:
*You are obsessed with the Save Kate t-shirt - you’ve clicked on it over 3000 times!
*You like to email, a lot. You hate to leave comments, a lot.
*We have readers in Estonia, France, and all over the U.S. But what’s the one building giving us the most traffic? 4 Times Square.
Hello, darlings.

Glow Job

She’s so Jane…
and she’s so drunk?…
So Jane’s November logo will be in neon.
Maybe this is okay.
Maybe neon is cool again.
Like the Jane party they just threw in the East Village, that I crashed, that I loved.
Three floors of chaos, loud indie music, random liquor slung into big buckets that you could just swipe, and Steve Aoki screaming on the roof.
Not bad at all - and there are Cobrasnake photos to prove it.
So maybe this neon logo is going to be awesome.
After all, Nanette put a giant glowing cactus on her runway and she’s doing great, right?
and neon is so November ‘05

The Devil Shops Discount
Wednesday, September 28th, 2005
This just in: Bluefly & Vogue team up for a designer handbag sweepstakes.
In other news, you can now buy Rosa Cha swimsuits at Club Med, and the best tank tops I’ve ever seen in the boy’s department at Wal-Mart.
Seriously.
Sidenote: when you go to the Bluefly site, as opposed to the Vogue website, the same contest is listed as a Lucky collaboration, with no mention of Vogue at all.
They must be feeling shy today…

Now you can legally marry Joel.
Not like you would. Right now, anyway. But that would be so sweet. Anyway.
Giggle.

It must be Dove. They’re taking the beauty directors to the French West Indies (next month?). I forgot. : )
Clever marketing schemes, massive editor swag, and I.S. addicts in the know- it’s just another ordinary day…
