This Mario Brothers Wedding Cake has nothing to do with anything, really.
I don’t like cake.
I don’t love video games.
I imagine I’ll like marriage eventually, but definitely can’t deal with it now.
And yet. I am simply and completely amazed.
You know?

Dear Bergdorf Goodman,
While I’ve been known to spend far too much at your sales, I’m still a little sad about this Chloe outfit and its misleading mark down.
You say “SEE by Chloe Jacket & Skinny Jeans - $55 - $270.”
Alas, you’ve left out the crucial piece of information: neither the jacket nor the jeans are $55. In fact, it is the purple t-shirt, which is not even listed, that’s $55, while the jeans are $270!
It’s Friday, so I’m not going to cry.
But I’m really thisclose.
xoxo IS

I know we’re all dying to scope out Daria’s profile, but you guys, I am so sick of MySpace. Instead, let’s play Real or Fake with some Fashion Week rumors, as in, are these rumors true or did I just make them up at Cafe Gitane?
a) One of our favorite socialists publicists is finally staring a Fashion Week blog.
b) Heatherette’s show is entirely Wizard of Oz but they can’t decide of Lydia Hearst or Amanda Lepore will play Dorothy.
c) Heroe’s Ali Larter is requesting Fashion Week tickets, but sadly, Heroe’s Milo V. is not.
d) Kate Moss is walking in the Designers for Darfur show, but Hilary Rhoda can’t because she’ll be shooting her Estee Lauder campaign.
Ready? Go.
[CINDY ADAMS - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]
So here’s a fun thing to think about:
There’s a Justin Timberlake concert in New York during Fashion Week. That means that there’s a teeny chance Justin can come to a Fashion Show.
It also means that Rebound Boy could raid backstage and steal a model’s clothes/ heart/ the other thing.
So. Which model do you think Justin would dig most?
a) Jessica Stam
b) Caroline Trentini
c) Cintia Dicker
d) Irina

The Imaginary Socialite is proud to present the first-ever (and probably last-ever) double feature: Meet Your New Crush / Real or Fake / Craziness.
So.
This is Dana. She works for Lutz + Padmos Patmos, where Carine Roitfeld and Liv Tyler have guest-designed their own lines of cashmere. Sadly, Karl Lagerfeld hasn’t joined the L+P party yet… but has he joined Dana’s closet?
Guess if her Chanel clutch is real or fake, then indulge in her crush-worthy smile.
Phew!

Walked by this graffiti last night and burst out laughing.
Todd Oldham is a sell-out?
When was Todd Oldham a sell-in?
Did I miss his gritty indie film debut, his wrenchingly beautiful acoustic album, or his scathing poetic first novel?
Didn’t think so. Although I agree that hosting House of Style was definitely a work of high art.
[MARGARET RUSSELL - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]
Okay, I get the message -
You love Ollie Stone of the Oohlas.
When she goes up on my Flickr account, you click on her 200 times - yes, really - in 24 hours.
But are you devoted enough to this chick to tell me what she’s got in her right hand?
It’s either…
a) A Marc wallet that she’s showing me for real or fake
b) A digital camera that she’s unsuccessfully pointing at me
c) Kiehls strawberry lip balm, and she fought me for the last tube
d) Jackson Pollis’ virginity.
[BETSEY JOHNSON - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]
Dear Regina George,
If your newly procured stash of Chanel should wear out, here’s a suggestion:
Get this amazing Jem and the Holograms shirt to match your newly pink hair, and to highlight the role you were destined to play (Jem herself, hello).
And if Karl gets bummed because you’ve traded his couture for a tee, here’s a thought: ask him to make you some magic pink earrings that can transport you through time and space… and also give glow from his catwalk.
Seriously, this is now becoming an obsession… someone option the rights to a Jem movie; it’s a fashion hipster goldmine.

I’ve always been nervous of siblings, especially adopted ones.
But Zahara and Maddox are so damn gorgeous that I feel a little easier about what happened today:
I got a new stepsister.
Her name is fashionista.com
She is older and not quite as pretty, but I like her style and she’s pretty smart, so I think maybe we’ll be friends. And if we’re not, then I’ll borrow all of her Chloe shoes without asking, because it turns out we’re the same size.
So there.

Given Circumstances of This Fendi Spy Bag:
It’s sitting in a huge apartment in the Time Warner Center. Just off-camera are three bottles of wine from the ’70s. The girl lounging behind it writes musical theatre, just because she can.
But Still:
The straps look even coarser and stranger than usual.

Judging from the comments and emails I got about the last Kate Middleton post, you’re all secretly dying to know more about her.
Well, here’s something fun:
Kate is neighbors with a denim designer for this brand called “Made in Heaven.” They’re based in London (Chelsea, right next to Kate’s apartment - sorry, “flat”) but coming to the US in February.
So. If you’re done with Kate Moss and want to move onto Kate Middleton, wait for the jeans.
Personally, I’m still waiting for Top Shop to come stateside, but whatever.

Jette Black: My eBay dress isn’t selling. It’s driving me crazy.
Am I The IS: Why don’t you think it’s selling?
Jette Black: I don’t know. It’s from Moschino; it was like $900 at Bergdorf but I didn’t try it on, and it’s so huge on me. But I don’t want to say that on eBay because I don’t want anyone to be insulted.
Am I The IS: Haha, “I don’t even know what you look like, but you’re fat!”
Jette Black: Exactly, that’s not cool. But this dress is so pretty. It’s so Sienna.
Am I The IS: How much?
Jette Black: $500.
Am I The IS: Ok, see, that’s your problem - Sienna would never pay $500 for a dress she can’t try on.
Jette Black: Yes she would!
Am I The IS: No way. Not post-Jude.
okay, so how much would you pay for this dress?

Rachel McAdams is a gorgeous girl and a wonderful actress, but what is she doing at Chanel Couture with strawberry shortcake lipgloss and a Barbie streak through her hair?
There’s only one solution: after completely stealing Sarah Jessica’s movie with The Family Stone, Rachel was cast in a secret Jem and the Holograms movie, filming right now in Paris and co-starring Zooey Deschanel as Kimber.
Also, Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried make a cameo as the Misfits… right?

Hangovers present a special problem for fashion kids: besides twisting our heads and dragging our feet, they also make signature patterns a dizzying ordeal.
Thus, I couldn’t quite focus on this Goyard tote on Saturday night, because it made me want to fall over.
Of course, that could have been because I was imagining its price tag, its contents, or, perhaps, its secret supplier on Broome Street?
[MEGAN MARRIN - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]
Thanks to some major crushes at Conde Nast, I got an early password for Flip.com, and here’s what I’ve found so far. Is it…
a) A Coco Rocha Fan Club started by Teen Vogue’s booking department
b) A junior version of Adobe Photoshop you get free with your login
c) A strange game called “make your own model” - like the Sims, but you have to make composite cards, runway walks, and diets for your characters
d) A Flip Book, which is like a MySpace page but with way more rainbows.
Stay tuned for more details; this site is seriously fascinating.
