Are blogs the new TRL? Some random girls think so – check out this frightening music video they made to Available by Brad Walsh. Yes, really, they did, with costume changes and everything. Brad swears he has no idea who these girls are, which means they’re either addicted to the MisShapes website or scarily adept at MySpace, or maybe, somebody’s little sister? Fess up if you’re related to them; otherwise, enjoy!

Jette Black: [Insert celeb stylist] thought it was weird that we’re friends.
Imaginary Socialite: Why?
Jette Black: Well, actually, what she said was, “I wouldn’t expect you to be friends with the IS, you don’t strike me as very prudish.”
Imaginary Socialite: [Insert celeb stylist] thinks I’m a prude? But I’m wearing a lace dress with no underwear!
Jette Black: Yes, but you put a trench coat over it. Look, maybe she doesn’t think you’re a prude. Maybe she just thinks I’m a whore.
Imaginary Socialite: Oh please. Compared to her clients?
Jette Black: Ha!

Chanel Ad or Party? You decide…

M.I.A.
Because she wrote Sunshowers. And she wore a sweatsuit to Bungalow 8. And when I said she was a genius, she grabbed me by the shoulders and told me she was really happy to meet me. And I didn’t feel like a total idiot until way after I left. So psyched.

Check out model Grace Kelsey in the new Bloomingdale’s campaign…
Alas, the Big Brown Boutique has yet to pick up Chloe Dao’s line, so she’s wearing Anna Sui.

Dear Aimee Phillips,
OMG OMG OMG, thank you so much for sending me the Heatherette toys from Kid Robot! They are so cute and fabulous, but I have just one question: who is this toy supposed to be? Her bangs look very Tinsley, but her blue eyes are ultra Lydia, and her outfit is totally Paris. Please clarify the mystery toy’s identity before I decide she’s Ashlee Simpson (which she totally could be, note the lack of nose).
Love ya!

ps – apologies for the crack-whack photo, I couldn’t resist doing a little David LaChapelle imitation

Imaginary Socialite: Do you like New York?
Cory: Yes, people are so nice here. Nicer, I think.
Imaginary Socialite: Yeah, it’s to compensate for wearing black all the time.

I never snuck out of the house as a kid, but I did a few times when I was 23. It was because of Heather, who would text me at midnight and tell me, “party. boys. be there in an hour.” This meant waking up, turning my pjs into club clothes, calling a black towncar, and creeping from the brownstone where everyone was asleep. I loved it.
I would get lost a lot, but Heather always knew where we were going. She could find her way to cheap booze or good music in the dark, and sometimes in the rain. She went everywhere; she knew everyone; she chain smoked but never bought cigarettes.
One morning at sunrise we stumbled into a strange apartment (this sounds crazy but it wasn’t; we heard about sunrise parties all the time). A boy came out with a bottle of vodka and I realized he was a fashion kid and we shrieked and we hugged. The next week Heather dragged me out, but I dragged her home, with a different boy. We watched Back to the Future at 5 am and Heather passed out and the boy and I held hands.
In the morning in the elevator, Heather said, “I think you’ve found your scene. You don’t need me anymore!” But of course, I always will.
[HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER!!!!!!]
Fine, so I’ve been going to the gym more frequently – and that means, actually going – because of Fashion Week. But maybe I should just get a stylist instead? Check out this morsel, buried inside the Daily News today:
“Which superstar celebrity stylist makes extra sure her clients fit into her clothes? She delivers dresses to their homes with prescription diet pills in the pockets … “
It all makes so much sense now – just like when we discovered that Suri Cruise is really the product of Chris Klein…

Carl, 24
Carl is one of Cosmo‘s beefcakes of the month, which means he is fun, fearless, fabulous, and also a fan of actual beef – yesterday he inhaled not one but three mini bison burgers at Aspen. How do I know? Because I had dinner with him! Giggle giggle giggle…

Emily Blunt, comes from family of actors and musicians and breaks out in a strange, sunwashed movie about two dangerous girls in the middle of nowhere who beat the hell out of each other, have sex, and listen to very bad retro opera. Later screams at Anne Hathaway at Vogue.
Kate Winslet, comes from family of actors and directors and breaks out in a strange, slime-drenched movie about two dangerous girls in the middle of nowhere who beat the hell out of each other, have sex, and listen to very bad retro opera. Later screams about being a celebrity in Vogue.
Right?

Because you’ve all clamored for another Kristin Rawson photo, here she is with David, her fellow Bazaar fashion kid, who’s draped himself in a lovely Chanel scarf.
Is it real?
Is it fake?
Is it swag?
Is it stolen from a loaded fashion closet?
O, the designer drama!

Andy, 26, was already Crushed, but he stole Ali’s sign and posed yet again.
If you can’t get enough of Andy (or Ali, or top model Selita, or Top Model Joni), check out the latest Crush Slideshow, which is totally safe for work, but maybe not for your heart – how many of these kids have you secretly stalked?
(It’s okay, that’s why MySpace is there…)
