She’s never met a swanky Hollywood party she didn’t like, and last night Kim Kardashian was the belle of the ball at T-Mobile’s “It’s a Wrap” party.
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” starlet arrived at the HML Mansion in Bel Air, California looking fine in an ivory one-shoulder belted dress with black heels.

According to her bio, Jessica Wakeman is "an associate blog editor at Huffington Post." We are not really sure what that means except that she writes totally adorable blog posts about media and all the people in media who she loves, like a little Rachel Sklar. Last time we checked in, she was distraught to learn that to "make it" in New York, "you need a strategy." Her mentor Vanessa Grigoriadis told her! Gosh! Wakeman decided she better stick with the web, a safe space for earnest and sincere young women, where Wakeman can work on writing about important cultural things, like her idol Vanessa or "Ariel Levy or Emily Nussbaum." Today, Wakeman is a little bit upset at her favoritest magazine ever!
Even when Wakemen is engaging in mild chastisement—there are not enough ladies (or black people) in New York's "This Is New York" issue!—she can't help but mention how she "want[s] to be Ariel Levy or Emily Nussbaum when [she] grow[s] up." But New York left all her lady heroes off their list of important things from New York! Like "bisexual folk singer Ani Di Franco" and fictional character Carrie Bradshaw.
"To be fair," Wakeman says, fairly, "there's several nice articles on the inside of the magazine extolling New York City's imprint on film, TV and literature. In it, we see diversity that actually reflects cultural demographic reality: Susan Sontag, Toni Morrison, Spike Lee. And the intro to the whole package is about Rhoda, the Mary Tyler Moore spin-off." But! "Where's Gloria Steinem in all her kooky-glasses-wearing glory?" And! "Wasn't Erica Jong's book Fear of Flying (a huge book in its time) set partially in NYC? She's a photogenic lady."
"And[!] what about the character of Carrie Bradshaw or real-life actress Sarah Jessica Parker? Hello? Remember that show, Sex and the City?" Vaguely!
It may seem like we're being mean here but we actually do find Ms. Wakeman to be totally adorable. Stick with Sklar, Jessica! She'll keep you on the straight, narrow, and earnest!
Oh and yes there probably are too many white men in New York this week but it's New York Magazine, the only black person they've put on their cover in more than year is a certain Senator from Illinois.
New York Magazine's 'This Is New York' Issue Cover: Very White, Lots of Dudes [HuffPo]
Gawker publisher Nick Denton has his own very funny online imitator, Nick Guido Denton, aka Fake Nick Denton, who real Denton said in this comment no one should "out." But Gawker also has a video magician named Richard Blakeley, who sits awake, late at night, making charts and probably drinking too much coffee, trying to figure out who the hell Nick Guido Denton is, and going slowly insane. He has developed a number of theories and possible candidates, and once told me "I am like Kevin Costner in JFK." Blakeley apparently couldn't bear to keep the truth from the American people any longer and has finally floated his own very detailed theory about who is pretending to be Nick Denton, which is presented here in distilled format, along with a brief video of Blakeley trying to explain it:
The real question is "Why?" isn't it? The "how" is just scenery for the suckers. It keeps people guessing like a parlor game, but it prevents them from asking the most important question - Why? Why imitate Denton? Who benefitted? Who has the power to cover it up?

The Garden State is one step closer to sewing up the title of Most Awesomest Hudson River state. The Asbury Park Press reports that a four-point buck, demanding his right to an equal education and his very own fifteen minutes, broke through a double-paned window yesterday to join Lloyd Road Elementary's fifth-grade vocabulary lesson. Even when school officials put the whole place on lockdown because of one disoriented deer, the kids stayed calm, to their credit. The same can't be said for their school nurse. "When he saw me, he started climbing in," [Rosalie] Preuss told the New York Times. "I thought he'd back up, but he started coming forward, so I shut the door and went, 'Eek! Eek!'" Oh Nurse Preuss, you're the best; Hump Day thanks you for your service.
