So Trent doesn’t quite get the Primp thermal obsession.
But if you read this blog, you totally understand.
I mean, clearly even TV stars get their fashion ideas from the IS.
Hiiii Mischa! The Decameron is going to be soooo good!

ONE WEEK AGO:
Am I The IS: transit strike whatever. I’m walking home.
Social Cavity: Nooo, that’ll take forever! It’s like 50 blocks, come on.
Am I The IS: I bet I can do it in 10 ipod songs. I bet you a blog tribute.
Social Cavity: You’re so on.
So I totally lost this bet. As payment, I present this gorgeous CD to Ellen, containing the 14 songs I listened to while walking home:
1. Binary Love, The Rakes
2. 1 Banana 2, Liz Phair (cover)
3. Certain Romance, Arctic Monkeys
4. Sorry, Madonna
5. Every Me, Placebo
6. I Saw Her Standing There, Beatles
7. Cherry Lips, Garbage
8. My Way of Dying; Foreign Islands
9. Hotel Yorba, The White Stripes
10. The Great Escape, We Are Scientists
11. Someone Else’s Song, Libertines
12. Can’t Stand Me Now, Libertines
13. Sorry Sorry, Rooney

From: ChocolateFlip@sparkles.comWhich fabulous editrix passed out these glam iPod cases to the entire staff?
I don’t know, but it must be one with a big market staff - nobody else would think to polaroid their holiday presents!
Any guesses?

Nick at Nite: Unlikely Fashion Trivia
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005
Last night on an imaginary estate, I watched Cosby reruns, my absolute favorite. And Cliff said to Sandra:
“I saw Black Orpheus once and there was a woman in it - woohoo. And I wanted to go to Rio just to find that woman!”
“That woman” is Marpessa Dawn, the godmother of designer Laura Poretzsky. Laura’s last Abaete collection was inspired by the Black Orpheus star.
More Cosby fashion trivia: actual socialite (and incredibly cool woman) Susan Fales-Hill wrote for the show right out of college, and also produced a few episodes of A Different World.
Come to think of it, Claire did wear lots of Dolce…

Who’s So Jane?
Tuesday, December 27th, 2005Poached from the Mediabistro message boards:
I was told by my mentor and former Associate editor at Jane to maybe start a blogg b/c alot of young people are getting jobs at trendy magazines. Yes anyone can write one, but it’s your skill and effectiveness to articulate the words and bring that piece to life that can possibly lead you to further success.
So who is this “former associate editor”? And do they have a blog (or rather, a “blogg”)?
Try and guess on Jane’s website. While you’re there, you can win a dinner with Brandon. Wait a second, I want to win a dinner with Brandon!
Grrr…
