Stylin' Roundup: Girl Crush

Stephanie Rosenbloom writes about girl crushes. I would totally talk about this some more, but I'm still sputtering with remaindered rage from my last post.

But just think of how Crimenotes acts around Craig Finn and you'll have a reasonably accurate analogue.

UPDATE: Gawker has thrown the flag on our Stephanie. Seems she's not the first to note this trendlet.

Ol' Alex is back to her usual antics as the Critical Shopper. Maybe she's grumpy about having to work in August, because she's taken to skewering stores with cachet among those who read way too much celebrity news.

That said, a little bile must sharpen her game. Because two paragraphs in, we have almost the entire checklist complete. Check it:

• Celebrity names? Invoked.
• Excessive prices? Cited.
• Materialism? Celebrated.
  
• Obscure musician? Referenced.
• Class status? Reaffirmed.
  

All that's left now is for our correspondent to appropriate some bystanders to provide some color, and we're out. And by the sixth graf, we have a French tourist. That was quick. See you all next week!
