Do you recall the night that we first met’
And how I burnt your dress with my cigarette… I don’t know why
But I’m playing this game, for you
I’m guessing it’s just what all young lovers do…

My favorite comic books growing up were the big battles:
Superman vs. Batman
Flintsones vs. Jetsons
Betty vs. Veronica
So you can imagine my glee when I saw a Chanel bag on Saturday, crashing smack into a Forever 21 dress.
Was the $19.99 frock rubbing its shoulders against $1000 Italian leather?
Or was the bag made in a neighboring China […]

Made 4 Chanel: Why are there so many models in Whole Foods?
Imaginary Socialite: To test the guacamole, obviously.
Made 4 Chanel: I couldn’t take it, they were all hovering over the soup station, like trying to smell the soup instead of eat it? You know? And so I walked up […]
Reni, 18
Reni channels Chanel and licks lollies, but that’s just the beginning:
She’s actually also an almost pop star.
Her album debuts just before Irina Lazareanu’s does, and you know what that means:
Bangs are never going away.
Also, Sean Lennon will probably get a new MySpace crush, but that’s secondary.

Yes, we know The Hills is back.
And though we were amused by…
*Lauren’s mom, who has a better body than any of the girls
*Whitney’s desk in the fashion closet
*Audrina telling Lauren she’s drunk (and admitting, for the first time ever, that the Laguna crew gets wasted)
*Audrina’s boyfriend looking/ acting/ creeping us out just like Jared […]
When Tanya D. was seven, John Galliano started making shirts with newsprint.
His runway tanks were actual newsprint, but in shops they came on fabric - blazing headlines about Anna Piaggi, Anna Wintour, Anna Karenina.
They disappeared for a bit, but sometimes the headline print still catches -
Visionaire revived it for their toy issue.

Fashion Week Casting starts now, and the streets teem with teams of Stam impersonators. This is how it goes…
Hunger is not a morning person, and neither am I.
Dragging myself out of bed is doubled pain:
First I’ve got to drown in the shower, then I’ve got to eat something - which usually means I […]
*Saying you’ll be home by 2 is just a defense mechanism.
*Pencil skirts can be babydoll dresses with the right heels.
*Ice cream trucks don’t have lisence plates.
*John from Cincinatti will eventually draw a parallel between surfing and walking on water; therefore the Yost family will be revealed as descendants of Jesus. And that still […]
A reader spotted The Dress That Won’t Die on her Caribbean holiday.
We can’t believe it wasn’t confiscated at the airport, and we’d like to issue a DTWD warning to future travelers:
When you go abroad, you’re not just representing yourselves - you’re representing American chicks everywhere.
We’ve already yielded major points for our country’s poor political […]

The first time I visited Vogue, an editor asked if my bag was “Balence.”
She meant Balenciaga, but in my case:
“No, it’s vintage, but thanks.”
That was four years ago, but it could have been yesterday - the Motorcycle bag still rules.
Backstage at Chanel, a headcount: 10 models stashed stuff in that […]
To every girl who’s run out of eyeliner at 11:30 on a Saturday night, and wondered, “Is there anywhere else to go?” Teen Vogue gives you an answer - and another reason to invest in extra MAC pencils.
The left is from March 2006. The right is from September 2007. […]
