Halloween Pop Quiz! Off the Marc!

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Which one of these ingenious costume kids does not work at Marc Jacobs? Click on the photos to find out…

Is it Sherlock Ho… I mean, Sherlock Holmes…

“I’m A Robot… get it?”

Or Jessica, who spent the entire night doling out champagne to customers and demanding they put their trays into an upright position? Yes, really.

Blue Tuesday: The Next Big Thing

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Dear Tsubi,

Meet your new competition, Insight51. They are a skater-surfer collective in LA with a little dash of A.P.C. and a little infusion of Marc by Marc and a lot a lot a lot of fabulous ideas, all rolled into the coolest website I have ever, ever seen. And you guys know it’s not like me to gush, but I am in love.

Also, if you order one of their things online, they send you cool skull stickers, which you can use to vandalize your favorite purse at Barney’s - after all, if you tag it now, nobody will buy it and its yours for the warehouse sale. Muhahah.

Are You GQuality?

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

To: am.i@imaginarysocialite.com
From: EhBaby@HotHauteHot.com

GQ is looking for a new fashion assistant to work in the closet - all the hard grunt work and no glamour. Would love a guy - we have 3 girls - but are open if they are amazing. The candidate should want to work at GQ more than anything else in the world and be prepared to work very hard.

Please forward all resumes to Callie, Callie_Canfield@condenast.com

so I sense a Twelfth Night scenario here where a desperate fashion babe binds her breasts, dresses up Dior Homme style, and pretends to be an eager young closet boy… she falls in love with her strangely straight fashion director, who’s in love with the accessories editor at Teen Vogue… okay, screenplay?

Mandy, 28, fills in the blanks…

Tomorrow I’m… organizing a party at the Tribeca Grand for Halloween. I’m going as a Robert Palmer Girl… I thought it was original and then someone told me some girl named Quinn did it last year.

Tonight I’m… going to the Rapture after party on Christie Street after dancing at Jake and Andy’s party on Mott St. You should totally come.

Fashion-wise I’m… wearing a minidress that only an imaginary socialite can have, it’s from… where do imaginary socialites shop, Walmart? Forever 21? It’s from Forever 21.

Okay, really it’s from Marc, but that’s okay.

11:oo pm: Aimee, Macky, and Drewpsie take B Bar, and I dare you to dump pixie sticks into the champagne.

Midnight: Private Men’s Club with Rob and Omri at Black & White; someone please dress as Bono and Scarlett so if they don’t show up again, we can at least pretend.

1 am: Collapse from sugar O.D., vow never to eat Snickers again, then have them for breakfast.

or you could be like me and do some family friendly candy giving, but that’s a whooole other story

Walk On By

Monday, October 30th, 2006

To the crush (you totally know I like you by now, right?):

The first time I saw walking sex it was streaking across the quad, six feet and strolling, in a t-shirt drenched in stares. I was sitting on a wall and playing with my hair and trying not to notice, which was hard when he stopped straight in front of me.

“Hey, a bunch of us are going to the hill,” he said, but the second his shadow touched my shoes I fazed out, and when he said, “you’ll come, right?” I was vaguely aware that he’d asked me a question, but more aware that every girl on the lawn was trying hard to hear us. I was also terrified but it would be social suicide to say so.

Instead I said “I’ll come,” but it was to my Kate Spade tote and not to him. The hill was freezing so he grabbed me in his jacket but I was so nervous that I pulled away. It took three weeks before I let him kiss me and another three before we were in bed.

At 3 am we ate chocolate chicks from his Easter basket and he threw the tinsel over the blankets and he went, “I didn’t know you were shy until I liked you.” And I said, “I wasn’t shy until you liked me.” And for the first time I couldn’t explain something with words so I let him take off more of my clothes instead.

So then when you came up to me and said hi at the party and tried to kiss me and I brushed you away with my hand, the way I do with my hair sometimes, it’s the same as above. Except I haven’t taken off my clothes in explanation, though you know, that can change at some point.

xoxo IS

It’s Time To Play… Dress Up or Shut Up!

Monday, October 30th, 2006

In today’s special edition of MisShapes Fashion Forecast, we present to you four of Saturday’s outfits. Two of them are Halloween costumes. Two of them are night-out-ensembles. Can you guess which is which? Click on the photos for answers!

To the right, a young man dressed in Jeremy Scott’s Snickersesque sweatshirt, making him either a trick or a treat. Above, the lovely and amazing Quinn strikes a quinn-tessential hottie pose.

This is Bella, a stylist from London, who may or may not have stolen her Jeremy Scott sweater dress from an i.D. magazine photo shoot this weekend at Milk Studios.

And finally, this girl is either a Littl’Ans groupie imported from Pete Doherty’s backyard or she’s dressed up as Bebe Buell in her heyday for the big night. Also, there were four guys in leather jackets and skinny jeans who could have been the Ramones or could have been themselves, but I was too busy feeding them Pixie Sticks and Pez to take their photo. If anyone’s got one, post the link!

Triple Word Score

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Act Nine, in which the Imaginary Socialite goes home to the boonies and plays Scrabble with her mother and little bro (and loses! so not okay!).

Imaginary Socialite: Are you sure we want to play Scrabble? Maybe we want to play Bullshit instead?

Little Bro: Well, with you making up so many words, Scrabble and Bullshit are the same thing.

Mommy Dearest: Oooh, snip!

Little Bro: Mom, it’s snap.

Imaginary Socialite: I’ll ignore that. I love it here. I wish we could take this whole house and move it into the middle of Manhattan. Of course, then we’d be billionaires.

Mommy Dearest: As opposed to half millionaires.

Imaginary Socialite: Half millionaires? What happened to the other half?

Mommy Dearest: We took you shopping last night. Remember? Oooh, snip!

Little Bro: Snap, mom! Snap!
