Obviously, it is one of ilikejuliaallison’s goals to become one of Julia Allison’s best friends forever. Seriously! I like to pose for pictures. Here are reasons that this will be hard for me, and I cry myself to sleep at night.
1) Again, the scale ridden thing. Julia, why can’t you have one friend with mild deformities? Just one! Karp doesn’t count. He’s interesting looking. Could you think of them as being like a tattoo?
2) I always eat dessert. And when I saw that the Waverly charged $55 for (admittedly very nice) mac and cheese, I snorted Diet Coke out my nose. And then I went out and ate an ice cream cone from the ice cream truck on the corner. It cost $2 and was delicious. Ineffably delicious!
3) I’m not on myspace. I am a spinster for life (you already guessed that from the scale thing, though, right?) On SaTC the one I related to was Miranda. Psyche! No one related to Miranda. I’m a Charlotte, pearls and pulitzer hide my pustules.
4) I did not go to an Ivy League. I was not aware that people put that much stock in them after the age of 18. But I will try again, Julia, if it helps! I can go back! In time (to 18 years old) not necessarily to school, because I’m at this point in my life I’m kind of busy, you know?
5) I’d be afraid to flip Bobo like that in the air. I might break him.
This is my unbelievable new girl friend Jordan Berkow, and her Lilly-clone shih-tzu pup, Lucy.
I met Jordan at the first party Harvard Harley invited me to, a few weeks ago (they were friends in college). After graduating in 2003, she fled to LA to become an actress. Turns out the whole Hollywood thing didn’t much suit her, so she came back home (raised in the city, Dalton grad) to pursue journalism - and yes, she’s an incredible writer.
In the interim, she managed to marry a gorgeous Yale-educated musician she met on MYSPACE. Yes. MySpace. Seriously. MYSPACE. I asked her three times if she was joking. I would have loved to see their NYT wedding announcement: Harvard meets Yale … on MySpace.
He proposed within six weeks. They were engaged for a little over a year, and they’ve been married for almost eight months. They both have tattoos.
It’s better than a movie.
Anyway! In addition to being (as you can clearly see) ridiculously, obscenely, drop-dead gorgeous, she also happens to be one of the sweetest and most genuine girls I’ve met in a long time. No pretention whatsoever. And yeah, of course she’s bright as hell. The topper - a matching shih-tzu puppy - was almost too much for me. My girl crush is undeniable.
I still sort of can’t believe she actually exists.
