Imaginary Socialite

Placemat, noun.

A cool, famous, gorgeous, or connected person inserted into someone’s Top 8, even if they’re not really friends with them.

Examples:

That time [you know] thought Leigh Lezark should be in his Top Friends, even though they’d only met once.

The way someone befriends “DJLL” and immediately makes her Friend Number One, as if we all hang out with Lohan.

And now I wonder if I’m your Placemat, since we don’t speak, we don’t text, we don’t even pretend to play in the same circles, and yet my face blinks on your Space just below your new girlfriend, as if we’re all brunch buddies.

But you know, it’s okay – even Missoni makes placemats, so I guess I’m in good company.
