Imaginary Socialite

The colors at left represent Abigail Lorick’s ‘09 / ‘10 winter color palette.

Does this mean…

1. Blair Waldorf’s gonna be wearing a lot of that cornflower color.

2. Bloomingdales around the country will scramble to include “dijon mustard” as an inspiration for their in-house juniors line.

3. Abigail has once again captured the zeitgeist of a generation - or at least the part of that generation with their own clothing allowance and Cape Cod guest house.

4. Stop wearing purple, unless you’re Little J.

1. Which lanky screen queen is also a bit of a klepto? Sorry babe, but Juergen’s got to shoot that dress for the ad campaign. Please send back ASAP. K thx bye.

2. Are you a bicoastal teen starlet? Are you cheating on your boyfriend with a posing downtown hipster? Maybe you should stop before someone else finds out.

3. Dear flaming art star - hear you’re getting evicted. Maybe if you stopped doing drugs, you’d be a little less fucked. And frankly, we’ve had quite enough of that situation for one week, don’t you think?

4. Have you met Becka Diamond? If not, then try to.

[Scene: Broadway and Prince, NYC. A girl wearing The Dress That Won't Die bikes past us, too quick to photograph.]

Imaginary Socialite: Ooh, check out The Dress That Won’t Die

Hearst Like Patty: Oh my gosh! It’s real!

Imaginary Socialite: What do you mean, it’s real?! You think I like, invented it?

Hearst Like Patty: Not exactly. I thought you asked girls to wear the same dress and photographed it around the city.

Imaginary Socialite: You think if I were going to photograph a dress a hundred times, it would be that one? And not, like, Luella?

Hearst Like Patty: I mean, now that I’ve seen all the Fall Balmain sell out in July, anything’s possible.

This Louis Vuitton bag in Trader Joe’s proves…

a) Girls downtown shop at discount grocery stores to afford expensive handbags.

b) Girls downtown buy cheap food and cheap bags, on 14th St. and Canal St. respectively.

c) Girls downtown are really addicted to the frozen bags of Trader Giotto’s organic gnocchi.
