[MAYBE SHE LIVES HERE?] Julianne Moore in Allure Mag

So, sometimes I like to pretend that I know the people who are in all of those pretty fashion magazines, and by "know them" I mean know them well enough to get invited over to their houses for dinner. The only hitch is, I don't know them...like at all. And so I need to use my imagination and guess where they live based on how cool they look. It's kind of sad, really, but then sometimes it gets me thinking: Maybe She Lives Here?

I would TOTALLY go gay for Julianne Moore. So for those of you playing along, so far I'd be a lez for: Nigella Lawson, Penelope Cruz, and now JM. As long as we're on topic, I may as well add Portia de Rossi (a real life lesbian!). Anyway, I'm completely obsessed with this photo of JM from the Nov. issue of Allure.

[I'M OBSESSED] The New Traditionalists-n-Design TV

BREAKING: looks like its time to dump all my references to Vintage Modern, cause I'm now officially a card carrying NEW TRADITIONALIST. Like, I'm ready to print that on a mug or a mousepad or some shit.

Last night I was lucky enough to get my ass invited to the Design TV party, thrown by a couple of my Twitter BFF's @JonathanLegate and @ABCDDesigns. If you don't follow them on Twitter, you're kind of crazy, and if you don't join in on their always lively #designTV chat every Monday from 11:30-1:30 EST you are REALLY stoopid.

Kelly Hoppen Launches An iPhone App

Even though I smashed the shit out of my iPhone screen last week AND had my iPad stolen (true story), I'm still pretty much allllll about the apps. Which works out well, as apparently, so is U.K. Interior Designer Kelly Hoppen who just released one that looks pretty friggin cool: Home Style.

Now, here's the thing: I can't download this shit right now cause I'm decidedly NOT rockin out with my cock out on my ghetto fabulous 2G iphone that I had to dig out of a drawer once I smashed my 3Ger.

So V. Lavish

I decided to dress up as Alexis Carrington Colby from Dynasty this morn, so now I'm sitting here on my couch in my silver, ruffled lamé gown, poofy hair, and tear drop 5 carat diamond earrings, you know, just blahgging.

Why, you might be wondering? CAUSE THAT'S HOW WE ROLL AT THE LAVISH (UN)CONFERENCE, BTCHZ!

Ok, so that's not really true. I mean, I'm pretty sure I don't *have* to dress up as Alexis Carrington Colby if I don't want to...and when I say "we" I actually mean "I." BUT, the important thing to note is that my ass is gonna be speaking at Lavish in Atlanta this Dec!

Tavi And Jane Pratt To Start Sassy Magazine 2.0, Only Not

Ok, *this* is the sort of magazine news I can actually get behind: former Sassy Magazine editor Jane Pratt and 14-y-o fashion blogger superstar Tavi Gevinson are starting a magazine inspired by Sassy for "wallflowery teenage girls."

Ok, despite the fact that I am way the fuck too old to be reading a mag for teenage girls, Sassy was pretty much the first magazine that "spoke" to me in a real way. And kind of made me, a little bit, think that maybe I could actually be a writer too. And that probably makes all y'all want to barf, so I have happily provided a motion sickness bag along with this post [just scroll to the bottom and print out the pdf that says "barf_bag_001.pdf...ok, KIDDING, PPL. Totally just kidding).
