From: LesterBangin@kcrw.orgAll right miss prep school snob. I saw you screaming your guts out to We Are Scientists last night. My Body Is Your Body straight to Keith Murray.
Made me proud. You looked like you meant it.
You’ll marry a music man yet, little girl.

Have you hired someone yet? Would love to have his name (or better yet, his

Also, are you for real?

Fashion Mystery!
Huge blue sweatshirt found on 10th St. and 1st Avenue. Whatever could it mean?
a) Vogue’s CFDA fashion fund has a new contestant.
b) Petty Luxury: thisclose to actually selling in stores.

d) It was Quinn, in the showroom, with the candlestick.

Last year, almost:
“I’m Sarah,” she says, but I already know. It’s one of those things, pre mapped and permanent, where you already see that you’ll overlap and intertangle. It’s hard when that happens in all of two seconds, and even harder when your heels are too high.

“The problem with drunk girls,” says The Seeker, swiping for fries, “is that they just keep telling. It’s like, oh, didn’t need to know that. Oh, please don’t keep going. Oh, you really need to stop.”

“Exactly,” he grins, “that’s the whole point.”

Dear Donna Karan,
Your party was gorgeous, just like the drag queens.
Your brand is so strong, it drew color coordinated guests!
So excited to see actual socialite (and mom, model, equestrian, editor…) Kelly Bensimon.
And the gingerbread was amazing.
