Fact: Girls who work at vintage stores have first-dibs on designers.
Fact: Girls who live in New York City have first-dibs on intimidation.
Fact: Girls who wear leopard print usually mean it.
But is this dress an actual Alaia, or like a fashion reporter at a charity ball, is it just a pretender?

Have you applied to be a Conde Nast assistant recently?
Are you wondering why you haven’t gotten an interview, despite being amazing / intelligent / qualified / born of an aristocratic family?
Well, here’s why:
According to a champagned editor last night, the company’s trying to reabsorb as many of their layoffs as possible – actually an awesome and responsible thing, if you think about it. So instead of hiring a new stable of thoroughly glossed girls and boys, they’re recycling the ones that got sliced with Men’s Vogue, etc.
Bad news for you. Great news for corporate responsibility. All in balance, kids.

Wallis, 24
You know how Michelle Obama kept wearing Thakoon during the election cycle?
You know how everyone decided she was going to be a new American fashion plate because of those outfits?
You know how amazing she always looked?
You know that Wallis had something to do with that?
Oh. Well now you do.

What’s up with the paillette teddy bear?
a) It’s a scarf by Jean-Charles de Castalbajec, and it’s $25 at this sample sale.
b) It’s a scarf by Toys ‘R Us that sort of stole the idea.
c) It’s Jenny Penny’s latest sewing project, something she likes to call “Unbearably chic.”
d) I know you are but what am I?

Things to discuss this week:
1. Kirsten and MK had Thanksgiving together in Tribeca because…?
2. And Kirsten lives in the same building as Ally H but they don’t really know it…?
3. Meanwhile, Daisy L seems to be walking her puppy with Will B again. So now they’re okay?
4. Finally, spotted: The return of the original Lonely Boy, aka Jordan Silver, at the Annex on Sunday afternoon.
Apocalypse, wow?

Fake MySpace profiles of celebrities are nothing new – and actually, neither are real ones.
But the past few months have seen a flood of famous Facebook posers, from “Lindsay Ronson” (whose page has since evaporated ) to “Mischa Ann” and Gawker’s discovery of Edward Cullen – sorry, what’s his real name again?
Of course, you and I don’t care if Jessica Simpson has a Facebook page, but Jessica Stam? That’s another story. Hence the curious case of “Anna Rubik,” a Facebook profile with Anja’s misspelled name but quite correct school info, candid photos, and friends.
Is Anja the keeper of this pretty page, or will your Superpokes and Scramble games go tragically ignored?

So there’s a Sex and the City episode called “Hot Child in the City.”
It’s sort of my favorite, because of its three 13-year-old girls, wearing Chanel leggings and discussing how they’ll give blow jobs to various guys in N*SYNC. Presciently, the girls say that two of the boy banders are gay, but that’s not why it’s my favorite.
It’s because the main girl, “Jenny Bryer,” curses more than my mother, and looks at SJP with such a cool conviction that they’re equals. It’s hysterical. And scary. And now awesome.
You see, I watched that episode and realized the bitchy junior high horse is actually super girl herself, Kat Dennings.
We should have known…

Am I The IS: I’m so in love with the dress Betsey Johnson designed for Michelle Obama.
Indie Lauper: Sure, but she can’t wear a Betsey Johnson dress to the inauguration.
Am I The IS: No.
Am I The IS: No, she really can’t.
Indie Lauper: Which is too bad, because the drawing is so cool.
Am I The IS: Well, I think Betsey should make the dress anyway.
Am I The IS: And in six years, Malia can totally wear it to prom.
Indie Lauper: OMG! And Obama can chaperone!
Am I The IS: Yeah, no punch is getting spiked that night…

Sukie was a girl and she liked to hang out in the art school
She didn’t take class but she wiped the floor with all the assholes
She took a bijou flat with the fraternity cat
She hid inside the attic of the sculpture building…

In the wonderings that it may not be cool to call out fake girls and fake bags during a recession, today we’ll play an alternative.
At left is a photo of a painting -
Jackie O, 1964, by Andy Warhol (or someone sitting on a silkscreen, wanting to get attention from Andy Warhol).
Is the image a real Factory creation?
Or was it made many years later, on a piece of poster board?
Place your bets – although somehow, I don’t think AW would care either way (that’s Andy Warhol, not Anna Wintour – she’d care a lot).
