Imaginary Socialite

For those who were dying to buy (or at least try on and TwitPic) the ill-fated Lindsay Lohan x Ungaro collection, you might want to pull out your credit cards.

Four of the better dresses from the collection, which to our knowledge weren’t sold anywhere, have surfaced on eBay.

They’re from a pretty reputable vintage site called StyleBug, and they run around $450, “or best offer.”


Make that “best offer” a case of expensive spray tan, a court order, and some leggings, and see what happens.

Getting arrested is a little less fun than Arrested Development.

(Way more fun than Hogan Family reruns, though…)

Runners Up: Ella Moss is not Leila Moss, Jessie J is not Jesse Jo, Diplo is not Dipset…

1) If Dakota and Emma go to Gallatin at the same time, will they share an apartment like Mary Kate and Ashley did?

2) Have you gotten “date night” advice from Gisele yet? If you’re an intern at W, you have.

3) Rag & Bone & Julia Frakes in an empty chicken coop. Please let this be a Matt Jacobs production.

4) Cory’s blonde. Read ‘em and bleach.

Check out Brittany S. Pierce (Heather Morris) in the Gwyneth episode of Glee.

She’s wearing a sweatshirt by Wildfox Couture, which is super-adorable but also super-expensive… $108, to be exact.

Is everyone in Lima, Ohio secretly loaded?

Did Brittany steal it off the set of her Teen Vogue shoot?

Or does Rachel Berry just get way more allowance money than she cares to admit?

Wildfox Big Love sweatshirt, $108. And huge apologies to those who don’t watch Glee and think I’m talking even more nonsense than usual.

Question: Would this comment be different if Taylor still worked at Conde? Discuss.

1. Another‘s abroad but Jalouse is in; let the party wars begin.

2. Peaches is the new Oprah. Well… sort of, actually, yeah.

3. Should Elle F. and Tavi G. be seated apart? Or together? And what if they both want the same dress?

4. Oh Nicki you’re so fine.

There are many surprising things about the appearance of Julia Frakes on Douglas Perrett’s 100 of 2010 poster.

The absence of pixie dust, for one.

But maybe the most surprising thing:

She’s got a cigarette in her mouth.

Consider this the first and only time you’ll ever see that – unless, of course, they start making them out of raw, sustainable, farm-to-table nicotine!

The artist Troy Jensen did a beautiful job on the already-beautiful Ann Ward, at right.


Ms. Ward – no relation to Gemma – is the current winner of America’s Next Top Model and the first one ever to score an Italian Vogue spread as part of her prize. But Ann also got the traditional $100k CoverGirl contract, although you’d never know it from this picture.

It’s captioned:

“Ann Ward Wears Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in place Concealer #Light, Double Wear Light Stay in place Makeup #Intensity 1.0, Lucidity Translucent Pressed Powder #Light, Estee Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush #Tender Petal, Pure Color Eyeshadow #Sandbar Beige, Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara #Black, Brow Perfecting Duo #Brunette, Brow Setting Gel, Double Wear Stay-in-place Lip pencil #Tawny, Pure Color Gloss #Shocking Pink.”

Easy, Breezy, whatever – we get it. Estee has amazing lip gloss, too. (Although we’ll stick with CoverGirl on the lip stains – those things are magic.)

1. Nothing gets between Pixie Geldof and her Calvins. Well, maybe Kate Moss would, but she’s not in the photo.

2. Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillipe and The iPhone of Shame.

3. That Chanel velvet mini-pouch. What are we all going to do with that?

4. C.O. Bigelow’s fantastic Warhol Christmas display. Hearts.

The September Issue is on iTunes this week for $5.

A can of Slim Fast costs about the same amount.

It comes in Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry.

Vogue September, meanwhile, comes in Sienna, Grace, and Thakoon.

We’ll let you decide which one is the better investment.

Prada be damned!

Urban Outfitters is still using photos of Miuccia’s newest campaign face, Arizona Muse, on their web catalog.

I wonder if MK + A were cruising through these graphic tees when it came time to cast their models for The Row. I can just hear it…

Ashley: Who can wear a t-shirt and make it look really expensive? Oh, Arizona! Remember, she like, modeled t-shirts for a living.

Mary Kate: But Ash, our t-shirts really are expensive. And the whole point is to make them look cheap.”

Ashley: MK, that makes no sense.

Mary Kate:: Exactly! That’s why we’re so successful!

Ashley: That’s why? I thought it was because we had a really good pattern cutter.

Okay, this could go on (badly) forever. Anyway, Arizona, in a $28 t-shirt. Which, for the record, I still do consider expensive. Voila.

[JENNY SHIMIZU - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]

Behold, The Dress that Won’t Die.

This time, it’s on Pink.

That’s kind of ironic, since her songs won’t die either.

I mean, “Why so serious?”

Wasn’t that a catch phrase in 2008?

Oh wait, so was “The Dress That Won’t Die.”

Hmmm.

[HAYLEE STEINFELD - AM I THE IMAGINARY SOCIALITE?]

Well, okay, Alber Elbaz put Leigh Lezark in the corner for his new Lanvin x H&M video, and she looks sufficiently bored about it. But oh my gosh, that lipstick!
