Family Matters

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Act Six, in which The Imaginary Socialite rocks the Prairie Look at dinner with her father.

Pop Art: What are you wearing? You look like a farmer…

Imaginary Socialite: It’s Miu Miu and Charlotte Ronson!

Pop Art: Fine. Then you look like Nicole Richie.

Imaginary Socialite: Funny.

Pop Art: Oh and I thought of an Is Not for you this morning. Are you ready? Mary Kate Is Not Mary Kay.

Imaginary Socialite: Daddy! That’s awesome! Thanks!

Pop Art: Now take off the giant sunglasses; those aren’t allowed at the table.

Real or Fake: Hollywood Tattoo Edition

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Years of best-gay-friends have taught me this: you can do anything with makeup. Cleavage gets carved, noses get flattened, lips get a glossy dose of DSL abilities, and fake ink is the easiest of all. With that in mind, I give you this gorgeous tattoo. If real, it belongs to one of the most gorgeous, most crazy, most cool actresses of the CK One era. If fake, I want to see another one that says “Imaginary Socialite” - or especially “Adrian Grenier Hearts The Imaginary Socialite” - in the very near future…

Meet Your New Crush 145

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Sweet and sassy Alex, 23, designs yummy cashmere and also likes yummy ice cream. Last night, he was hanging out and decided to play “mistaken identity” with his Imaginary Socialite sign.

So, you can either crush on this totally cute ice-cream scooper, below, or you can crush on Alexander, above. Really, it seems like a fro-yo versus cupcakes dilemma, and to each her own…

Meet Your New Crush 144

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Laura, 21

Laura goes to FIT, where she can breeze by Daniel Vosovic, see Chuck Close get an honorary degree, jeer the Parsons kids who inevitably win Project Runway (or at least a CFDA fund), and also, use her fabric design studies to make you a really cool t-shirt and a really tight pair of jeans. And trust me, if you are a boy in this city, then you desperately need these two things if you ever want to date… um… anyone.

Crush away!

Reasons to still have a this bag:

Your initials are actually “LV”
You’re a South American socialite
You’re Heatherette
You’re under 16 and desperate to impress the Mean Girls
You’re a Russian spokesmodel for an Italian car
You’re a descendent Louis himself
You’re so excited because it was $20 at Rockefeller Center

So, really, which is it?

Dream Lover

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

Am I The IS: omg I had the weirdest dream last night.

English Editor: me too, I dreamed that Club Monaco brought back bedazzled jeans and I threw a fit in the showroom.

Am I The IS: Well, I dreamed I had to trek through a spooky forest to get to MisShapes all alone, and I wore that blue flop-collared Marc Jacobs coat.

English Editor: Oh yes, I love that coat. It’s very directional.

Am I The IS: In the forest, I met a group of scary gay disco men who chased me out. And when I got to MisShapes, it was a haunted house, and everyone was already gone. And then a scary man in a silver sequined cape came to attack me!

English Editor: What happened?

Am I The IS: I woke up screaming. What do you think it means?

English Editor: Well, it either means you’re very anxious about social situations and especially men right now

English Editor: Or it means silver rayon is really hot for fall.

Disco Inferno

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

Last year’s reputable rumor was that Cover Girl dispensed MJ trench coats to its favorite beauty editors. This season it’s a little different: a certain mega-fashion brand gave some style editors tickets to Panic! At the Disco’s big concert tomorrow night. Whether the editors will go, or instead pass the tix along to their interns, is another story - one which I’ll gladly report on Friday morning, when I’m back from screaming my lungs out. And yes, I’ll wear a designer coat - or at least a Forever 21 t-shirt, which at this point is basically the same thing…

The Love Train

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

Here’s a fun little question: if a certain ’90s movie princess were taking classes on “the Pleasure Revolution” and exploring her already obvious womanly powers on a weekly basis, would you want to know about it? Because I definitely, absolutely would…
