Internets Jessica Quirk The day you’ve had marked on your calendar for MONTHS is finally happening soon – the release of the most important fashion book ever published, Jessica Schroeder Quirk’s “What I Wore” book. It looks like they went with that as the final cover. Why out of the million pics of her available did they choose…this? Anyway, I’ve already read the galley and all I can say is I hope they did a final proofread before hitting the print button. I’m sure sales will be massive and Messica will wind up being a millionaire. We just got done listening to her talk about her wedding, and now we get to listen to her go on about her book tour and how Kate Spade and ODLR sent her their entire fall collection as a congrats gift. Every blogger in the lifestyle/fashion circle jerk will fill up their twitters with exclamation points and write fawning reviews. Seriously though, the publicity machine around this should be the best show in town for the next month or so. I can’t imagine this being some runaway success outside of her fan base. And I don’t want to hear how I will be cursed with karma for being so negative. As a rule I’m all about supporting bloggers who pull Crap like this off, but in this case I’ll wait and buy a REAL book by an actual writer. The good news is the GOMIBLOG bookie is now taking bets on the sales estimates! There have been a few comment threads now discussing the new website PoopoGiggles, the joint effort “by actress/musician ZOOEY DESCHANEL, producer SOPHIA ROSSI and writer/Internet Sensation MOLLY MCALEER”. From their About page, the site is described as the “ultimate entertainment destination for smart, independent and creative females. Everything hosted on the site will be lady-friendly, so visitors need not worry about finding the standard Boys Club content that makes many entertainment sites unappealing to so many of us.” Over their comments they ask us to “please help us maintain positive conversations”. I think the description is a bit off – I’ve never found other women-centric sites to be particularly full of “Boys Club” content (Jezebel, anyone?) and I always resent being told to keep it positive. What do you think of the site?
Jessica Schroeder Quirk, Tory Burch’s bff, is a totes big deal in the fashion industry. Her daring, original style never fails to make The Sartorialist go “wow just wow” and Anna Wintour shake with jealousy. Today she shares her latest sewing project DIY. Which looks like every other dress she has ever made or worn. I guess since modcloth dumped her and Bloomtucky isn’t exactly a vintage thrift goldmine she’s having to compensate. But how about maybe trying a new silhouette already? It’s just the same 50’s housewife dress over and over. How about a mod mini-dress or something? I’m not even going to start on those cheap looking shoes she insists on wearing while her Coach heels air out.
Cary Randolph Fuller, midwestern New England country girl rich WASP, is busy planning her “6 Dollar Margarita Party So We Can All Get On Guest of a Guest Again” event. I guess the First Family turned down her invitation: Oh well, there are sure to be plenty of warm bodies there, getting drunk and exchanging twitter names. Maybe we will get lucky and some of the old guard like Peter Feld and ThatGirlAllison will make an appearance! She’s too busy to worry about such things for long, anyway. She is faced with a million decisions and last minute details: With almost 100 people confirmed to attend on facebook, this is sure to be the event of the 3 hour period between dinner and doing awesome Manhattan nighttime Crap. I eagerly await the coverage in the NY Times, Rolling Stone, random tumblrs, GOFG, Famegame, Village Voice, and Gawker! Tatiana Mikhailovna, of loveliesspace, recently decided to stop blogging so much. Now we know why – she’s busy moving from La Brea or Garbage Grove or whatever town in SoCal she lives in back to Washington D.C.: I’m so excited to finally share a secret we’ve been keeping for some time… we’re moving back home!! And we’re over the moon about it! We can’t wait to go back to our favorite city, four distinct seasons, our families, snow on Christmas and all the wonderful things that come with living on the East Coast… We have some exciting dreams for this new chapter in our life and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. As Oprah said on her last episode “Your life is speaking to you. What is it saying?” This idea was born from some whispers we started hearing a couple months ago, then those whispers got louder and louder, until we knew, for sure, that this was the right thing for us. It’s not going to be easy, not everyone will understand but sometimes… you just have to go with your gut. I’ll be doing nothing but packing boxes for the next week so feel free to email me! And in the immortal words of the great B.I.G. “California: A nice place to visit.” Well that was quick. Moving in a week? Did she attend the Jessica Quirk School of Suddenly Moving? What is it with these bloggers? Christ I knew for over a month I was moving back to NYC. These folks all decide to move and a week later they somehow have a house, a job, thousands for a moving truck. I know she says they’ve been dreaming about it for months, but why not mention it on her blog where she is so open and honest and sharing her life? Whatever. I guess I should be glad she’s not moving to Brooklyn. Jessica Schroeder Quirk, marriage expert, expertly avoiding having to cough up some birthday sex by spending her husband/best friend’s birthday in New York City. Sometime between inhaling fried chicken with The Real Rich Tong (not one of those imposters!) and inhaling Burger King at the airport, Messica took a moment to tweet the most thoughtful, wonderful omgamazing husband EVER this heartfelt birthday wish: Her husbandbff did not respond directly to her, choosing instead to post this sad statement: These two have somehow combined smug obnoxious married with wow that is sad married. It’s ok Quirk! Birthdays can get you down! Cary “I’m a WASP, I swear!” Randolph was happily pushing her “check me out in Newport, I’m totes from Newport, hanging in Newport, ps I’m white” agenda when finally someone mentioned to her that her ACTUAL place of origin had been wiped off the map. Cary rushed to show her support! I’ve always loved that dusty outlaw look of the American West – the blue jeans,concho belts, six-shooter holsters, and tobacco-chewing bad attitude. But lately, in the aftermath of my hometown’s destruction, that love has turned into a bona fide craving. Joplin is an outlaw town: site of Bonnie and Clyde’s infamous hideout and a legendary hitching post of Jesse James, its people are stoic, proud, and fiercely independent. Distrustful of all but the smallest government, yet warmly hospitable to any out-of-towner. “You must not be from ‘round here,” is followed by, “Need a beer?” In this rare moment of hometown pride, I find solace in the sartorial: pull on theCrap-kickers, the faded tee, and wish I had a shotgun to fire at beer cans on a Friday night. Or a wide front door to welcome everyone inside. I’m sure Joplin, MO is just delighted that you put down your pathetic attempts to convince everyone you are east coast old money for 24 hours, just so you could have a “rare moment of hometown pride”. That’s not at all uppity and condescending or anything, Mandolph.
