Monday, March 22nd, 2010Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Us
Monday, March 22nd, 2010
This one time, I puked blood.
It stained my hands and my hair and my eyelashes; sometimes when I squint I can still see the drops. It felt like I was leaking my own breath. For a second I was a shadow, slammed shut against the wall. But the weird thing is, it didn’t hurt. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.
And last week, you said “Why won’t you hug me?” and I did. And you said “Why won’t you kiss me?” and I did. And “Oh, this is my girlfriend,” and oh.
My gut crushed. My blood seared. My heart sharded small bones through the cracks of my spine. I think I balled my skirt like a doll; I think a smile soaked through my cheeks until it looked convincing. But the weird thing is, it didn’t hurt. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.
In the morning, my phone rang and it was sunshine. I pulled myself up from the sheets by my palms, and coughed hard. No blood. No problem.
Well, it’s a start.

And other things The New York Times forgot to tell you.
Also:
I’m a little bit dyslexic, so this gets me every time.
Also, also:
Nice pants.

What’s a Chanel bag doing at Sweet & Vicious?
a) Watching its owner get trashed and make out.
b) Watching its owner get trashed and make love.
c) Watching its owner get trashed and make a really bad decision.
d) Watching its owner get trashed and make up an excuse why she has a fake Chanel bag, even though it’s kind of pathetic.

Naomi Thomas, 24
Imitates swimmers.
Intimates secrets.
Intricate outfits.
Isn’t gonna settle for anything less than 100% fun. Because with us, that’s the way it goes.

Things to Discuss This Week…
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
1. The industry critic who’s taking cash for a consulting gig – totally illegal.
2. The “leave a dead credit card at the bar” scheme, as perfected by a former Conde girl. She can’t stop scamming – and can’t stop getting caught. Psychopaths are people, too?
3. The new faces of our favorite sneakers, as seen right here on this blog. Stay tuned for the ads!
4. Ring pops are the new Goyards. Just so you know.

And though it’s been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun
I see you shine in your way
Go on, go on, go on.
I see you shine in your way. Go on, go on, go on.

A Yes Or No Question

This “KB Fitted Dress,” named after Lauren Ambrose’s muppet in Where the Wild Things Are.
Retails (on sale) for $138.
Comes with belt.
Comes without Spike Jonze or his wistful movie monsters (sad).
A must-have or a must-be-kidding?

Strangely, though, they both have collections at TopShop.

Real or Fake: Miu And I
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
Spotted on 18th Street:
A slate gray Miu Miu bag, complete with gold hardware, stressed strap, and very well-heeled owner. Literally.
But note the snow on the ground, and you’ll sense this picture was taken in the whiteout of winter – a.k.a. Barneys Warehouse Week. And this young miss is mere blocks from the hallowed (and heavily discounted) ground – and just two train stops away from Canal.
So given her proximity to both Faux Vuitton and $30 Rodarte, we need to ask:
This Miu Miu bag – real or fake?

Becka Diamond, 20-whatever.
After skipping her last year of high school because she’d already aced every class, Becka D. packed up her Newbury comics and briefly enrolled at Harvard University before she realized her true calling.
It’s a famous story…
You just don’t know it yet.
