• The headline — "David Bailey: Still Snapping Away At 71" — might as well just read "David Bailey, Amazingly, Still Alive." But the legendary British photographer actually has plenty to say on the topics of retouching and American Vogue: "D'you know any model over the age of 23 has to be touched up these days. Twenty-three? It's fucking ridiculous but that's what you have to do for American Vogue and it's getting to be the same over here." [ToL]
• Anna Wintour personally approves every photo published by Vogue's blog. [The Cut]
• Meanwhile, sources say that Vogue attracted early attention from the consultants McKinsey because they believe it is a model of a larger Condé Nast title, and that the lessons learned from studying Vogue will be applicable to other magazines. Vogue, representative? More likely it drew the money-savers' eyes first because of its legendary profligacy. [NYObs]
• Michelle Obama's principal hairstylist says, "I believe hair is a language, if it's not moving it has no voice." [W]

• Mario Grauso, the president of Puig Fashion Group, which owns Carolina Herrera and Nina Ricci, among other houses, is rumored to be resigning. [WWD]
• This fashion blind item is kind of generic, but anyway: "Which designer won't be showing in the Tent this year, like he usually does? Rumor has it he'll send his gorgeous gowns down the Salon's runway instead." Could be almost anyone, in this economy. But perhaps it's Zac Posen? [Fashionista]
• Earlier this month, the Michael Kors boutique on Prince Street in SoHo was burgled. A man distracted the security guard at the neighboring Apple store and made off with $13,000 worth of merchandise. [Villager]
• Pop-up stores are barely news these days, but if Rodarte is doing one at Colette in Paris this October, and selling DVDs of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and stuffed knit animals, that actually sounds cool. [WWD]
• Two men have now been arrested in connection with the $66 million jewelry robbery at the Graff store in London. [NYTimes]

• The Buckle has continued its trend of positive results, despite the recession. The last quarter saw its profits rise 12% on the same period last year, to $25 million. [WSJ]

Be A Moddle: We use the term loosely, as almost every single one of the profiled Itties is, if not a professional model (Portia Freeman, Daisy Lowe, Coco Rocha) at least former (Alexa Chung)/aspiring(Isabelle McNally)/celeb-model hybrids (Teyana Taylor).

Be Celeb Spawn: Again, defining "celebrity" loosely (the daughter of Elvis Costello's drummer, for instance), let's just say it apparently doesn't hurt to be connected. Both Geldof sisters are in here: nuff said.

Date A Rocker: One of them is with an Arctic Monkey, Daisy Lowe is currently paired off with the way-senior Mark Ronson (although they broke up!), and Portia Freeman is rumored to be more than friends with Pete Doherty. Junkie=fab!!!

Be A DJ:Next to moddle, "DJ" is the most popular non-career for an It Girl! See: Tennessee Thomas, Harley Viera-Newton. Sort-of acting (We're counting Cody Kennedy's turn on Gene Simmons Family Jewels) is also an acceptable mode of employment.

If At All Possible, Be Under 20: It is highly desirable for an It-Girl to be obscenely young - like five of the fabs profiled here.

Be Really, Really Rich:This is so you can talk idly about starting club nights, drop out of school, flit idly from career to career, and, you know, have time to be seen! In fact, great riches are an essential part of It Girl-ness, as they are essential to "not caring what people think" and "awesome style," the two criteria editor Marvin Scott Jarrett identifies in his intro.

The one notable exception to these rules is designer Abigail Lorick, whose line is actually really, really good and who seems to really, you know, work on it. Quoth she, "I would hope that an It Girl would be a girl that is hardworking and inspires other young women to pursue whatever they want." So would we, Abigail. So would we.
