this is where I go
when I’m afraid of tomorrow
only here I can scream and cry
and they think
I just really love the music.

Heard you were planning a big party for your first birthday. Like making t-shirts and learning to DJ. And I also heard you were making cupcakes and mixing a Chanel necklace into the batter, and whoever picks that cupcake wins the necklace?
Please tell me it’s true. And that I’m invited. Obv.

H, I totally stole your photo. Sorry!
Quinn and I are drunk, and bored, and zooming through Flickr photos.
“Look,” I say pointedly, clicking onto a new website. “We know all these people.”
It’s been bugging me for a long time. An entire gallery of our friends, or friends of friends, and we don’t know who created it.
At Orchard Bar that night we meet her, and relieved, discover she’s lovely (and an excellent photographer!). In the morning our snapshots mingle with the rest on her site, and things feel more complete.

Elena, 25
3 months ago:
“Did you hear about the girl who came to MisShapes in a Missoni gown? She was, like, totally decked out, diamonds and everything. I heard she freaked out a little, which is too bad, because that’s exactly what you should wear to MisShapes!”
Last Night
“Oh hey, have you met Elena?”

Trend Alert!
Teen Vogue and Jane both feature Celeb Guest DJ stories in their addictive little pages this month.
While little vogue’s montage has photos by Scott Meriam (!!!), Jane’s charticle has quotes from Sarah Lewitinn (!!!).
Now Leigh just needs to snag the Vanities section of VF, and the Blue States have officially Won.
Hey Graydon, I know you read this…

Lesson #16: Getting Over It
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006
When curing a funk, there are several options.
*Dance floor thrash
*Radiant friend posse
*Private primal scream
Or, impulse buy!
(it was only $14. pairing it with my new D&G miniskirt. even if the funk doesn’t go, I predict a certain crush totally will…)

All Lipstick Goes to Heaven

This is what happens when you try to photograph Chanel lipstick.
Are there any other cosmetics that immediately grow a halo and a disco-meets-annunciation color fade as soon as the flash pops?
And how much extra do you think Chanel paid for its divine properties?

a) Quinn’s London debut
b) Anna Wintour at Basso & Brooke
c) The many mouths of Kate Moss
d) An explanation for the bungee cord that attacked poor Morgan in his own kitchen.

Real or Fake: Heel Girl

Scene from an Italian restaurant. Okay, bakery.
Cannoli running for Drew and Macky, and I’m waiting behind a first date, a boy in loose cords and a girl in doubled tees. They’re cute, and calm, unscared of each other and doubtless unphased by Avenue A. Don’t have kids here, I tell myself silently. Then I jump. Kids? Wait. I must have meant shopping.
It’s my turn for cannolis, but suddenly I’m second. Some guy swipes in, stakes the counter, and they’re getting him cookies. “Um, ew,” I say, out loud, but he doesn’t turn and then I want to fight. I slide up to the counter, but the woman behind it interrupts me and boom, I have cannolis.
I’m still mad and I’m ready to tell this guy he’s a total shit. Before I can, he swings around. Tall. Skinny jeans. Gray jacket, pretty beat up. Messy hair. Okay.
And then he smiles. And then he sings. “You’ve got a friend in me,” he goes, like, the Toy Story song. And the woman at the counter is grinning at me like “ooooh, he’s cute” and I really can’t deal. I grab my cannolis and run. No paying, no nothing. Just like, omigosh, what are you doing?
But on the way out I saw these shoes. They look Miu Miu. They could be Payless.
Um, okay, so that was my Monday.

Indie Lauper: WHICH junior socialite just had unprotected, coke-fueled sex in the bathroom of a Lower East Side hipster bar?
Am I The IS: OMG, shut up.
Indie Lauper: Hey babe, I’m just reading Page Six.
Am I The IS: Suuuure.
Indie Lauper: You’re being awfully defensive today. I mean, you don’t even do coke!
Indie Lauper: Not even, like, the soda!
Am I The IS: No. Too many carbs.
