[STEPHANIE SAVAGE - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]

Multiple Choice.

This sticker featuring Chanel Black Satin nail polish is…

a) an urban initiative from Chanel Beaute aimed at luring the skating and hip-hop crowds with hip viral marketing.

b) the invitation to Raquel Zimmerman’s 27th birthday party.

c) super cute and from skater grrrl brand Hellz Bellz.

d) sooo much better than those take-out menus that are usually stuck to my door.

What do you need to get Kate Moss to come to your birthday party?

A gold Members Only jacket.

Airbrushed eye shadow.

Barbie pink M.A.C lipstick.

Awesome dance moves.

And an Adams Apple. Apparently.

Dear Phillip Lim,

Saying that your dress is “on sale” for $1499 is rather inaccurate.

It’s sort of like saying you’ve broken up with your ex boyfriend even though you’re still sleeping together.

Not that you, Phillip Lim, have ever done that.

But I totally have, and the frustration I felt when we finally realized it was a bad idea is quite similar to the knowledge I have that I can never have this dress.

The only thing more infuriating:

Facebook now says I should be friends with Donovan Leitch.

OMG.

Remember last week, when Derek Blasberg dropped his own name into the Style.com “Gangs of New York” piece? At least according to Gawker and, well, everyone in the office?

Check out Style.com’s blog today. Kelley Hoffman wrote a piece on Selima Optique’s last party, and the photo they used… is a picture of Kelley Hoffman.

This is totally Style.com’s attempt at being Warholic, right?

I’m not so sure about that, but awww… isn’t Kelley cute?

Spotted:

Lizzie Olsen, the 18-year-old sister of Mary Kate and Ashley, on 14th and Third Avenue.

The California native, who is 5′7, is finishing her first year at NYU, where she lives in the regular dorms and studies acting at Tisch School of the Art’s Atlantic Theater Company, which was founded in part by David Mamet.

Besides learning how to curse effectively onstage (perhaps the only notable quality of a Mamet-trained actor), Miss Lizzy is avoiding all parties, at least according to a dorm mate, and studying until she falls over.

We wonder how long that will last, and if she ever wanders into Barneys to see her namesake, the Elizabeth + James clothing collection by her big sisters…

Two weeks ago, I was taken to Balthazar and promptly quizzed about my life. It’s okay, because the woman with the Am Ex was cool, smart, hot, and incredibly successful - in short, one of those “Oh gosh, will I be you?” women.

Plus, she shares an unreasonable crush on Kate Moss.

After making me spill on every boy I might have already kissed, she deemed them unworthy (told you she was smart), then made me a bet.

“Go on Nerve.com,” she commanded. “It’s where I met my boyfriend. Go on, and if you don’t meet someone you like within six months, we will go to the spa for an entire day, my treat.”

And you know I never back down from a bet.

The problem?

Now I need to pick a screen name, and ImaginarySocialite is too long.

So, do we like…

a) LipGlossNotBombs
b) ThanksForTheFish
c) MyLittleFauxnie
d) SpellBombshell
e) SomebodyDaredMe

Obviously the plus with #b is if you don’t get the reference, I probably don’t want to kiss you anyway. But it could also lead to a lot of Sci Fi nerds, which is why I’m not calling myself Eowyn.

Anyway, go on and vote.

Dear Imaginary Socialite,

The people you email are probably people you want to be your friends.

This tool matches the emails from your address book to profiles of people who are already on Facebook.

You might want to be friends with:

Lauren Santo Domingo
Joe Zee
Marc Jacobs

Absolutely. Those people are already so speed dialing me every day. I will get right on that.

PS: Real or Fake - Joe Zee’s Facebook? With a Getty Images picture?

Most compelling article of this week’s Sunday Styles:

A story on upper-middle class yuppies preparing for a shadow apocalypse. Worryingly, they were not called “Survivalistas,” but otherwise, it’s cool.

Most funny article of this week’s Sunday Styles:

Bill Cunningham’s “OMG, women are wearing pants! Imagine!” voice over, in which he says “This woman is wearing… a J. Crew jacket that I believe costs $400.”

Forget the fact that the jacket was really $200, marked down in most stores to $150 as soon as it hit the floor.

Really, the fun part is that “this woman” is Anne Christensen, the fashion editor of The New York Times, whom Bill works with pretty much every day.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain camera…

[MONICA CORCORAN - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]

Californiaaa: Hey.

Imaginary Socialite: Hi.

Californiaaa: Want to do something?

Imaginary Socialite: Um, I guess, sure. What?

Californiaaa: Want to do the Cayenne Pepper fast with me?!

Imaginary Socialite: Oooh. I thought you were gonna be like, want to go see a movie?

Californiaaa: You’re the only one I know who has the discipline to go on a fast. Nobody else I know has that kind of discipline. It’s hot.

(pause)

Imaginary Socialite: Wait, are you saying I need to lose weight?

Californiaaa: NO. Not at all. It’s just… it’s like the coolest feeling, this fast. And like, discipline is sexy.

Imaginary Socialite: Whatever, as long as you’re not saying I’m fat.

Californiaaa: You’re not fat.

Imaginary Socialite: I know.

Californiaaa: Good. So, um… come with me to the bar. We’ll get wasted together.
