OH THOSE SUMMER NIGHTS

Last night we ran around the (cover your ears) Upper West Side with one of our oldest friends. We taught our friend how to use Friendster and we ordered the wrong thing at Arte. We also watched Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Diego Luna looks like a pre-teen. Ah, but you know how we loooove ‘em young.

ANOTHER RONSON UNNECESSARILY INVADES THE POP CULTURE SPACE

We were reading our favorite magazine on Earth, Teen Vogue, today (it’s the new issue with Kirsten Dunst babbling like a 22-year-old-obsessed idiot) and we saw these ads for “C.RONSON“. “Ohhhh nooooo!!!,” we bemoaned knowning all to well what this meant. “Another Ronson kid trying to do something ‘artistic’ and ‘hip’! Ohhhnnoooo!!”

Not content to defile pop culture by shoving the utter fabulousness of DJs Mark and Samantha Ronson upon us, the powers that be have now made it a point of ramming 26-year-old Charlotte Ronson down our throats. But here’s the thing–SHE’S NOT A DJ!!! Wow! Could it be?? A young Ronson kid that can do a different talent? Surely it can’t be true! Oh, but it is. Miss Charlotte is… er… uh… a fashion designer.

But don’t worry!–her aforementioned sibs appear in her ads. Mark takes the NY Jetsetteraness of this whole deal to new levels by kissing Rashida “Can I Get a ‘Quincy’?” Jones in one of the photos. Also in the campaign is CharChar’s financeer, Mr. Damon Dash.

Thank God! We were getting scared there–for a second we thought we might have to actually take Charlotte’s desire to be a “real” designer seriously!

Ok, we have a DIRE need for one of these Lee Riot necklaces. We were looking through an old People magazine and saw a picture of Paris Hilton wearing one of these in “pink mirror” that said “AVAILABLE” and we just totally fell in love with it. Yes, this makes us extremely tacky, but we just loved the whole flea-market chic to it. So so ugly and so so wrong = right. But here’s the question: Why are these damn necklaces like 85 dollars? Can’t you get one of these made at like a keychain place in an actual flea market and/or boardwalk shop? It’s been a long time since we’ve been to either places, so we’re asking for your help. Where have you seen mirrored keychain/necklaces being made? We need one of these since yesterday. (UPDATE: We just did some research and found out these stupid things are apparently the “in” thing for chicks like Lindsay Lohan and all those LA “starlets.” Should we also get a Von Dutch hat and put on Ugg boots too? Well… thanks to New York Doll, we’ll probably be sporting a “CUNT” necklace instead. Thanks! But if you know about the mirrored stuff, we’re still interested. Email us at eic @ themodernage.org)

In other fashiony news, we saw Yoanna House (of “America’s Next Top Model”) get on our R train at the Prince Street station going uptown. She sat directly across from us and was wearing a red velour hoodie with a brown tshirt and charcol grey cords. On her feet were black Nikes and she had a black backpack on. She was with some totally Midwest looking normal non-fashiony dude with brown spikey hair and white sock and shoes (eek!!). Could it have been her brother?

Ashlee Simpson provokes negative comments like, “She looks like Hot Topic threw up on her.”; Paris Hilton in a bikini; Gwen looks great, but it wearing something really weird; The most delicious man on Earth: Jude Law; Britney wearing “Move Bitch” tank top.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IS DESTROYING OUR LUNCH

We just stepped outside our building to go do some errands during lunchtime where we were greeted by road blocks up and down 3rd Avenue. There were people all lined up on either side of the street and cops every few yards. Then a fleet of motorcyled NYPD drove uptown with their sirens wailing, followed by some black towncars, and one larger black towncar with a presidential emblem on it. Inside the tinted car you could make out the outline of a man waving to the crowd. Some people jumped up and down waving emphatically and cheering. We promptly retreated back inside our building since we couldn’t even cross the street since everything was blocked off.

Gross. We just saw George W. Bush.
