Everything Is Beautiful At The Ballet

We don't often wish we were at these events, but from the impromptu dancing with ballet greats to Natalie Portman's amazing getup to the seriously bizarre socialite-wear, the New York City Ballet's opening night celebration at Lincoln Center looked fabulous. More »

Candace Bushnell's The Broadroom: Same Shit, Different Day

October Elle: Vomit Has Never Been So Beautiful

This month's Elle features an interview with Sex and the City creator Candace Bushnell, in which we learn this charming anecdote: Once, during Bushnell's habitually "shitfaced" NYC party girl days in the 1980s, the author's friend was "chatting with Bushnell at a party on a high-floor terrace, when Bushnell almost daintily turned her head, vomited to the ground below, and then resumed the conversation as though nothing had happened." Ha! What a perfect metaphor for this month's issue! Reading the October Elle feels just like being trapped at a coke-fueled party in the late '80s, surrounded by neon leopard print, punky zippers and chains, obnoxious floral prints, and of course, ruffles. But which part spurs the inevitable boot and rally? The 700th profile to describe J.Lo as "superwoman?" The anti-aging article that encourages women in their 20s to inject various toxins into their neck and under-eye area? After the jump, check out our version of Elle's cover and decide which part most makes you want to hurl. More »

According to reports, the series, titled The Carrie Diaries, will chronicle the high school years of Sex and the City heroine Carrie Bradshaw and, if it remains consistent with the show, may include Carrie's loss-of-virginity to someone named Seth Bateman, her absent father, many 80s references, and the absence of anyone named Charlotte, Samantha or Miranda. Lucky for us, earlier today Gawker Media's crack team of 90s-style hackers* broke into Bushnell's Yahoo account for us and provided us with a page from The Carrie Diaries that Candace sent to her editor earlier this week.
