Well East Coast Girls Are Hip…

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

So Bluefly just unloaded Petro Zillia and Pegah Anvarian for the masses.

Anyone craving an In-n-Out Burger just got one step closer to Californication. Which is great, but I still can’t shop at Kitson’s.

It’s the Disney couture that throws me…

Someone Card Kirsten

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

According to Page Six, Amanda Demme’s in hot water for rampant underage drinking at her club. Says one wet blanket:

“Every week there is another 18- or 19-year-old like Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst or the Olsen twins in the clubs drinking and getting drunk.”

OMG, such a tragedy! Especially Kirsten Dunst, who’s almost 24 but still too young to drink!

Hey Kirsten, The Imaginary Socialite is barely a year old (our birthday, like yours, is April 30th), but we’ll drink with you ANY time.

To Catch a Thief

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Robbers raided the American Apparel store in Carroll Gardens this weekend, but only escaped with the cash drawer – which was empty, as it always is when the store is closed.

That means the burglars got away with… a useless empty drawer, which Lauren Ashley thinks might be worth $10 on ebay.

If only the robbers had stolen AA’s famous short-shorts instead, which could have fetched at least $20 on ebay. And if they’d taken some of the t-shirt porn from the walls, they’d probably get even more.

Silly robbers. Tricks, and the girls who pose for them, are for kids!

WHICH indie music guru is moonlighting for footwear designer Matt Bernson on the side?

Guess this means emo is very Fall ’06.

Operation Makeout

Are you a model-actress-socialite-whatever? Are you going on a cosmetics casting this week?

Then just a heads up – you’ll be making out with a complete stranger on your go-see.

On the plus side, he’s a model-actor-socialite-whatever, just like you. And also, he’s probably gay.

xoxo IS

Sugar Coated

Monday, March 27th, 2006

I get jealous with other people’s sidekicks. They buzz more than mine, and ring more; they snap open at brunch like little hungry birds. Mine doesn’t do that; it’s more relaxed; it’s mellow. My sidekick does yoga when stuck in my purse, so quiet that sometimes I think nobody likes me.

But on Friday, I was summoned to a crowded table with walls made from wrapping paper. There was too much food and too much booze and everybody knew each other, even if they didn’t. There was a cupcake toast, too.

The next day, my sidekick went back to doing yoga. I grabbed my mat and joined it in the living room, and for the first time in a while, I breathed out.

Blue Monday, The Skulls

Monday, March 27th, 2006

So few pants can multitask. These do several things at once:

*help you cheat on a skeletal anatomy test

*nix the need for slip-on skull vans

*remind you of hamlet’s Act Four

*broadcast an LA zipcode across your ass.

but I guess if you’re not from Echo Park, you can still wear them too.

TXT MESSAGE
To: Boston Uncommon
From: Imaginary Socialite

Put on something cute and head to 12th between 1st and 2nd. Just saw Matt Damon climbing out of his trailer to shoot a movie.

So much cuter in person. So dissolved into fit of giggles when I saw him. So ran all the way home.

Go go go go go!

Murder on the Dancefloor

Is not Panic! At the Disco

Though both could happen if you secretly like the DJ…

My Open Shoe Box

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Yet another reason to adore the My Open Bar boys:

Their latest flier features an unmistakable Christian Louboutin pump next to some empty blue bottles.

I wonder if they actually got it, or if they just thought the red sole looked good with the beer…

IHOP or IS?

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Huge sparkles to E & J in South Africa, who sent me this supercute photo to show me they were reading.

OMG, South Africa?! Seriously psyched. In their honor, I have prepared a small IS quiz:

What does Ngiyabonga mean in Zulu?
a) beautiful shoes
b) thank you
c) cupcake
d) tired from dancing

Papa Was a Rolling Stone

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Some girls get diamonds. I get the application to Jan Wenner’s new reality show, a mysterious present sent late last night. The winner of “Survivor meets Almost Famous” gets a job as a Rolling Stone staff writer.

I don’t know the show’s actual title, but here’s what I do know: they want to cast it ASAP; they want to start filming in June; they want to wrap it in August.

And they want you to answer 10 pages of questions, including…

WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES FOR A JOURNALIST TO HAVE?
(a reality TV journalist or an actual one?)

WHO DO YOU THINK ARE THE BEST JOURNALISTS CURRENTLY WORKING?
(Reality TV best? Gideon Yago. Real best? Susan Orlean and Holly Millea. Virginia Heffernan and Cathy Horyn.)

WHO DO YOU THINK ARE THE WORST (OR MOST OVERRATED) JOURNALISTS CURRENTLY WORKING (IN ANY MEDIUM)?
(I’ll tell you, but only on TV.)

HOW WOULD SOMEONE WHO REALLY KNOWS YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORST TRAITS?
(I’m deadly accurate with insults. My ego is too big. I react too fast. I dispose too easy. I don’t look great in Marc Jacobs.)

WHAT ONE THING ABOUT YOU WOULD NO ONE EVER GUESS JUST BY LOOKING AT YOU?
(I know all the words to Mos Def.)

WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK FOR ROLLING STONE?
(Duh, to be on TV).

Real or Fake Friday!

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Dior bag on a kitchen counter, snapped at 3 am between a late-night wine and oatmeal binge.

Inside are keys, a Trio, a lipstick, and a sewing kit, because really you never know.

But can this clutch hold everything but a good dose of reality?
