Paper Mag girl Julia Frakes is looking good in her military-inspired dress.  Rather ‘blue’, but I like it. How do you feel?

LINK LOVE: Fashionising

I’m always surprised at how busy and nutty-acting everyone gets during Fashion Week prep. Everyone is in a huff. I’ve seen a lot of models in Soho, they’re almost all in huffs. Except for the “It” models, you know like Ash and Jethro. I bet they’re never in anything like a huff, they’re only in magazines. Is Cole Mohr still “It”?

Anyway, I got invited to the model casting for Duckie Brown. It made me feel a little special, but whenever I told anyone they sort of laughed. Everyone thought I was trying out to be a model, I wasn’t. Duckie wanted me there to cast models, and pretend to DJ. I really like pretending.

It was self-defeating though. The casting, I mean.  I was the short, pasty, black-clad kid with grandma glasses and bad hair. Everyone around me was 6 foot tall, healthy, fit, and beautiful. It was awful, and amazing. Amazing because they were changing and naked and trying on great clothes.

Two boys I party with came on a go-see. Is that an official term? Go-see? Or did Tyra make that up for America’s Next Top Model? But, right, Jace and Harvey came on a go-see. It was nice seeing them out and about during the day. And I think both of them were cast, because they have amazing walks and are so handsome.

Oh. Did anyone see that Craiglist missed connection from Tuesday? A friend posted it to my Facebook. I think someone I know, a boy, gave a man a blowjob at the Box while his girlfriend watched. It all happened on the balcony, I mean, I must have been a few feet away. Was it you? Tell me the truth. I need the scoop.

I think it’s a good nightlife when things like this can still happen. It reminds me of Studio 54.

It’s so sad that the Ruff Club is ending. I don’t know what else to say. It’s the end of an era, or something. There’s a rumor that Peaches Geldof and Jethro Cave will be there. That they’re going to DJ. I love Nick Cave, and his son Jethro is amazing. I didn’t know that Peaches is still around. Can I have her job? What is her job?

P.S.

I forgot to mention I met Christopher Sauve and Julia Frakes yesterday while creeping Soho with Alex. Chris was the nicest, like so pleasant. Julia was a button, but I kind of think I squeezed her hand too hard. Alex thought her pants were a great Beacon’s find, but of course they were Erin Wasson. Nicollette said Julia was a downtown luminary.

I guess she must be if she’s curating a collection at Screaming Mimi’s for Fashion’s Night Out. I’m jealous, wish I was curating a collection.

Did you know that even the Disney Channel changes its New York programming before and during Fashion Week? I told you, nutty-acting. Everyone.

Above is Julia Frakes from Bunny Bisous & Paper Magazine standing in front of Popeye’s, weird choice for a photo considering how thin this girl is (just look at her legs).

”Julia’s vegan though, and is actually carrying a CHANEL vegan satin bag, with a scarf also from CHANEL. She’s wearing a lovely white and green PROENZA SCHOULER dress with FALKE leggings and black and white heels from STELLA MCCARTNEY, and a cute LANVIN pearl bow necklace.”

Julia Frakes, Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alia Shawkat all play the perfect stand-ins for models in Rachel Antonoff’s lookbook for her Fall 2009 collection. Julia Frakes spent most of fashion week front row with Paper Mag’s Mr.Mickey, Sarah Sophie Flicker has a web 2.0 ready last name and is an artist with a talent for getting camera ready, and Alia Shawkat is about to star in the greatest movie inspired by a television show of all time, Arrested Development!!!! Yeah, Rachel knows how to pick them.

Julia Frakes is officially our favorite little bloggette. She wore an amazing $8000 Balenciaga dress to the front row of Christian Lacroix and it’s officially the only time I’ve seen the now iconic dress without hating it. (The mags have a tendency of making it look more like armor than it needs to be, Julia tones it down).  The 18-year-old whiz has been making a few headlines in fashion (me jealous, you better believe it) after landing a covetted position as Paper mags fashion blogger.  The recent Wyoming Seminary graduate wore the dress to her Senior Prom and made a connection to Paper mag after budding up with co-publisher Kim Hastreiter on Facebook. Officially on the list of ones to watch and a trendsetter with the smile of an angel.
