Tom and Katie: The FLiP Out

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

We’re not sure whether Gawker’s predictions of FLiP.com gloom are true, but we do know this: some teen girls have way too much time on their hands, and the results are insane.

Our favorite i.e.?

“Katie Holmes’ Life in Photos,” a FLiP book by a Star obsessed youngster whose conspiracy theories on Suri, Katie’s hair, and Posh Spice are better than anything in US Weekly.

Click here to laugh very hard.

Glossed And Found

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

Dear Danny, whomever you are:

I found your iPod frozen to the sidewalk tonight on 11th Street and I rescued it. You were either drunk or riding your bike too fast, because this iPod was so soaked I thought it was broken.

Send me an email with its serial number and I’ll reunite you. Meanwhile, it’s having a blast dressing up as a fairy princess in my apartment. I think my iPod is jealous because yours is thinner.

Also, Danny, your taste in music is… awful. The All American Rejects should be a garnish, not 40% of your music collection.

When you get your iPod back, it has some new songs on it by this great new band called Radiohead? And Bloc Party? My Morning Jacket? They’re going to change your life. Seriously.

xoxo IS

All you need is your own imagination

So use it, that’s what it’s for

Go inside, for your finest inspiration

Your dreams will open the door… It makes no difference…

Real or Fake: The London Mystery

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

Surfing through DirtyDirtyDancing last night and there’s this bag.

Either the club kids colored all over it because it was fake and worthless without some decoration.

Or it was real and slowly slipping towards chav heaven.

I have no idea if it’s real or fake, but if you or your friends did this, fess up.

And the rest of you, guess!

It Goes There

Now that Degrassi star Stacy Farber is a Nylon intern, there’s no telling where the underage actress will appear – our guesses include Ruff Club and anywhere that sells Urban Decay Eyeliner.

You can get Stacy trivia courtesy of the new Degrassi BTW, like Pop Up Video but even more fun and useless – and leading to today’s quiz…

Which supermodel once appeared on Degrassi?

a) Cindy Crawford
b) Jessica Stam
c) Shalom Harlow
d) Coco Rocha

Meet Your New Crush 253

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

Laura, 26

There is something so lovely about a thin girl who invites you out to pasta, then gives you a sex toy from Agent Provocateur.

“It’s not allowed on boys who tell you they want a relationship, then bail the next morning with a MySpace message.”

Which is why we now have a crush on Laura, and not on the boy (anymore).

Adventures in Text Messaging

Cory Kennedy: OMG I just found out that Marc Jacobs is in rehab!!!!

Imaginary Socialite: Unfortunately it’s drugs. He was in rehab once before, in the ’90s. Anna Wintour checked him in. This time I think it was the Louis Vuitton people.

Cory Kennedy: I knew something was up, he was so thin.

Imaginary Socialite: He’s supposed to recover in a few weeks and hopefully go back to work on the collections.

Cory Kennedy: He’ll be fine. He’s a tough cookie.

Imaginary Socialite: It’s funny.

Imaginary Socialite: After the show, this editor was like “Really? Those were the clothes? That’s it? Is he on drugs?”

Cory Kennedy: Oops.

Newsflash: Sarah is Famous

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Trish Romano is still obsessed with Sarah.

Proof?

The cover story – really – examining her place in the music scene, courtesy of this week’s Village Voice.

We adore Sarah, and we’ll gladly plow through five pages of information on her, but really, we’re also a little weirded out… also, we’re wondering why the article mentions how well the Horrors are doing, but doesn’t hype Young Love’s MTV coup or the way whenever you mention the Oohlas, a group of seventeen year old girls starts to shriek.

Of course, if this makes more Converse kids rush the Stolen Transmission showcase at South by Southwest this week, it’s all for a good cause.

Jordan and Ciara are on The Sartorialist!

OMG

OMG

OMG

Amazing. This means Jordan is out of hibernation, a big deal. And also: The Sartorialist is shooting in my neighborhood, so it’s time to break out the purple tights and the Prada wedges.

Heels only happen when you know you’re being photographed.

Hello.

Conversations Late At Night: Part Two

Monday, March 12th, 2007

It starts with a rescue maneuver – the East Coast blonde gets tackled by the Southern blonde, with me in the middle to referee. This is during appetizers.

“Are you friends with Amanda?” etc.

“If I had to have a job like you, I would…” etc.

The East Coaster is getting creamed, so I swoop.

“I like your dress,” I tell the Southern girl, a distraction. “It reminds me of my mom’s old stuff, from the ’70s.”

“Cool,” she smiles and my friend slinks back to the boys, home free. Of course, now I’m stuck.

“I love my mom’s old clothes!” she smiles harder and wider, a chomp of a grin. “In my family, clothes are a really big deal. I mean, looks are a really big deal. Like, if you show up to a family function? And you don’t look good? Everyone will like, talk about how you don’t fit in. For days.”

“Wow,” I answer, eyeing the vodka. “I don’t think I would ever show up at a family party if it were like that.”

“Yeah,” she nods, her eyes halfway between sympathy and glitter. “I mean, if I weren’t pretty, I wouldn’t show up either.”

I start laughing and can’t stop, and everyone thinks it’s the wine.

Conversations Late at Night: Part One

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Am I The IS: Okay I have this theory that I think only you can understand.

I Love My Guitar: Go for it.

Am I The IS: Do you think that Tom Brady is the new Lisa Moorish?

I Love My Guitar:I Love My Guitar: Okay no. No idea what you’re saying.

Am I The IS: Okay, so. In the ’90s, Lisa Moorish has Liam Gallagher’s daughter, and then a few years later, she has Pete Doherty’s son. So Liam Gallagher’s daughter and Pete Doherty’s son are brother and sister, which is so out of control.

I Love My Guitar: Yeaaaah….

Am I The IS: So now, Bridget Moynahan is pregnant with Tom Brady’s baby. And if Gisele is also pregnant with his baby, that means that Bridget Moynahan’s kid and Gisele’s kid will also be brother and sister!

I Love My Guitar: Yeah. Except the Liam/ Pete sibling thing is like, fascinating and insane. And the Tom Brady thing is just…

Am I The IS: Totally and completely boring.

I Love My Guitar: Pretty much. They’re so pretty it’s boring.

Am I The IS: Ok. Maybe Gisele’s kid will come with angel wings.

I Love My Guitar: No. Probably not.

Two crushes for ’80s kids, but one has way better clothes… thanks Quinn!

Runners Up: Marimekko is not Murakami, You Can Be My Yoko Ono (Bare Naked Ladies) is not I Won’t Be Your Yoko Ono (Dar Williams) – for all the super nerdy music kids…
