Dear URB,
Okay, so my friend said his brothers told their friend that you kinda liked me? For real?
I like you too. Giggle.
Wanna ditch Health class and meet at the soccer field? I have a Go Team LP and some Jolly Ranchers…

Dana’s Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag.
So wait.
If a motorcycle bag gets brought to the West Village on an actual motorcycle, does that verify its authenticity? Or will it just smell more like gasoline?
Mmm, gasoline…

To: am.i@imaginarysocialite.com
From: BigTalk@TinaBrownMyHero.comI’ve tried to leave a comment like ten times and it won’t let me. Do I need to submit my outfit for approval before I get to post?
Well: as part of the I.S. spam filter, the site makes me approve random posts. Don’t stress; it’ll get there soon.
Unless you insult my outfit, and then you are SO deleted…

This is a dress by Jeremy Scott. It is also…
a) What I’m wearing to his show next Friday.
b) A costume on The Veronica’s next video.
c) Inspired by Troop Beverly Hills.
d) Hanging next to the showroom’s alarm so nobody can steal it (and everybody tries).

Dear Ms. Evangelista,
We have found your Next Generation - just like you, he can slice watermelon with his cheekbones.
He also makes clothes, records dance floor singles, plans elaborate video shoots, gets pegged on Blue States Lose, and perhaps studies for his SATs.
Do you think Bruce Weber will approve?

Some of us are waiting on Italian fabric shipments. Others are waiting for the Instant Star season to finally debut. If you’re totally bored right now, perhaps it’s time to steer through some of my new favorite websites:
Stylized Reality. A new photo blog. The graphic triads don’t always work together, but when they do … so addictive.
The Next IS: If this is really the work of a teenage Canadian girl, I am beyond flattered. If instead it’s a creepy stalker… um… I have a really good left hook.
Oh yeah, and Quinn’s bags finally have their own site!

Courtni, 27
Because who else could walk down Hell’s Kitchen in a black balloon skirt, calico silk Miu Miu heels, and a yellow grooved trench like she really means it?
Someone get this girl a runway.

Scott Meriam took this gorgeous photo of Madonna last October at MisShapes.
This Saturday, he showed us how to pose like her.
Check it out!

The rules are on the table, but really, I should have already known them. It’s so far uptown the air thins out, and so far east I need a passport. Emails all week “come over,” and “can’t you skip work?,” and finally, “I’m hosting a party on Saturday; be here.” You play a very aggressive game, I think, and grab Quinn and Heather for the trek.
The second floor is crumbling and luscious and striped. A circle of couches, a coven of kids. Popped collars all around, even the girls. Clouds of hash that match the curtains. “Were you invited?” asks one I already know. Have you seen this dress? It’s invited everywhere. But yes, we were invited. Perhaps I’ll forward you the email. I smile anyway. He could just be high.
On the grand tour, we run to the closets and find a ribbon belt stash. “Oh!” says our host, “I’m starting a belt company.” This is actually the first thing he’s said to us. We’ve been here for like an hour. Heather can’t resist: “Wow, are you showing in the tents?” she asks. Exit the other girls, who now look disgusted as opposed to just confused. “They’re sweet,” says our host. I wonder how many people say I’m shy, especially as an excuse.
Overheard:
“So, do you girls all live downtown?”
“I met this guy at my fourth boarding school!”
“Oh honey, I just think social tension is really interesting. Having you here makes it a lot more fun.”
“These girls are going to the MisShapes Concert next.”
On the way out we find our host, with a girl with a boy’s name, in the kitchen. It’s very Ice Storm, with pinker clothes.
“Goodbye,” we shout to nobody, and he calls from the pantry, “Hey! Be nice when you write about this!”
I don’t even know what to say, so I let the door shut itself.

Greg looks gorgeous and a wee bit Weimar…
While back by the stairs, Greg’s trend continues: this girl loves suspense (and suspenders…)
And this cute star shirt, with these cute pants, on this cute boy, gets two enthusiastic thumbs up - que adorable!
***special thanks to Greg Krelenstein, for banishing the stripes trend in favor of something way more sophisticated. well done, mr. tastemaker. now just get rid of those purple-print sahara scarves and you’re all set…***

Many games were played last night, but Sit n Spin was not one of them - too bad, as it’s phenomenal with enough vodka and the right pair of undies.
I’m passing the rules onto you, dear readers, in hopes you have some fun. You remember fun, right?
Everyone sit in a circle.
Everyone has a drink.One person spins an empty bottle in the circle’s center. As the bottle spins past you, drink. If the bottle stops pointing at you, you must:
1. Kiss the other person and remove 1 article of clothing, OR
2. Make out with the other person and leave all your clothing on, OR
3. Remove 2 articles of clothing, but not kiss.
The person who spins the bottle decides what you must do.
The game ends when everyone is left in (at most) 1 piece of clothing. Or when you pass out.

Was for good…

IS addict Missy has some advice for the style set:
Yeah. So. Let’s move on to another pattern now, shall we?
How about radishes?
