Imaginary Socialite

Some see the world through rose tinted glasses, but Cara’s spectacles give her the viewpoint of Mr. Karl Lagerfeld. Because of their extraordinary logos, the glasses endow Cara with some Heroes-worthy powers, including X-Ray vision, telepathy, electromagnetism, and some weird chemical reaction that lets her hair glow in the dark at Private Men’s Club.

Unfortunately, they do not give her the ability to spot faux designer accessories from miles away – that’s totally your job, dear readers…

Dear John, 23,

Sarah and Gurj and at least six other girls asked about you this weekend, and I realized I couldn’t help them at all. So. Please share with the class…

1) single or taken?

2) straight or gay?

3) uptown or downtown?

4) Killers or Bravery?

seriously, these are very important issues.

This Marc by Marc tote is heading home for Thanksgiving today! But will it hop Jet Blue… or the Chinatown Express bus?

Matt: I can tell something is wrong.

Imaginary Socialite: It’s stupid.

Matt: So? Tell.

Imaginary Socialite: All of my friends get stopped on the street by trend spotters who want to take their photo and nobody ever stops me. I feel completely fashion deficient.

Matt: Aw, don’t be sad. Maybe you’re just walking too fast for people to stop you. You know how you get in your iPod zone.

Imaginary Socialite: Matt, I’m so upset. Why am I not on the Sartorialist?!

Matt: No, don’t worry…

[Enter Jennifer on Fifth Avenue and 10th St.]

Jennifer: Hi, I work for this British trend firm – can I take your picture for our website?

Matt: See! I told you not to worry!

Jennifer: Are you crying?

Imaginary Socialite: Oh, no, it’s just the wind…

Here’s Tory Burch at the CFDA/ Vogue party in a Narciso Rodriguez Dress. The same dress that Bee Shaffer wore to the last CFDA/ Vogue party. Double #1.

This dress was somehow reworked by Behnaz Sarafpour for Target, and sold online to all of New Hampshire, etc. Double #2.

And now, if you blink back to the first photo, you’ll see that Tory is actually standing with Behnaz. Double #3.

Are you dizzy yet?

(I wanted to call this post Double Indemnity, but I was worried that only Matt and my Intro to Film Noir professor would get it. So…)

From today’s Page Six:

Sightings: JIMMY Fallon on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum in a Logan coat shooting a scene for “Factory Girl”…

Hmm… since the movie is already debuting in private screenings, is this just a postponed item, or did they actually go back and reshoot some scenes? And what is a Logan coat and why did it end up in Page Six?

Discuss.

One of these optical illusions is a $300 pair of Tsubi pants from Australia.

The other is from Trash & Vaudeville, on sale.

Guess which pant is designer, and then, which one of these guys kissed Chrystal, danced like a marionette maniac to Bloc Party, and told me that I looked like the type of girl he’d want to kidnap and take to an island on a pirate ship.

Of course, that sort of remark is a different kind of real or fake all together…

Dear Style.com, whom we honestly adore,

This is Henry, 25.

He makes shirts for Lady Sovereign and Lindsay and Greg K. and Gareth Pugh.

Anna Wintour met him last week and asked him out to the CFDA.

Julie Gilhart just bought his first US shipment for Barney’s.

And besides, he’s really cool and darling and great.

Hopefully next time, you can stick in his name.

Cool. Thanks.

Today’s fantabulous mega gift guide in New York magazine features this poofy Prada princess dress (is it red? is it orange? is it burnt umber, as called by Crayola?) as “what to buy for a wife/ girlfriend.”

But as Socialite Rank points out, it may also work well for aspiring fashion legacies (and those who don’t mind being photographed in a dress already blitzed by Wire Image).

Perhaps someone who already owns the dress can say what color it really is? It’as bugging me…
