right away。 But it had already been an amazing day； and she was so pletely gorgeous with her
cheeks all flushed and her perfect mouth all red from kissing。 Why not？ It was like the end of one
of his secret cheesy rock…star fantasies； where he and some incredibly hot girl roared off into the
sunset together on a kick…ass Harley。
？I love you； too；？ he said back； and kissed her again。

hey people！
February is like the girl at that party I threw when my parents took a ？second honeymoon？ in
Cabo last week （I know： sad）。 You remember？the girl who puked all over the Spanish marble floor
in the guest bathroom and then refused to leave？ We had to throw her Dior saddlebag and Oscar
de la Renta embroidered sheepskin coat into the elevator before she finally got the message。
Unlike most places in the world； though； New York refuses to fall into a February…induced
depression and bee a cold； gray； dismal wasteland。 At least；my New York does。 Here on the
Upper East Side we all know the cure for the drearies： one of Jedediah Angel？s crazy…sexy party
dresses； a pair of black satin Manolos； that new ？Ready or Not？ red lipstick you can only get at
Bendel？s； a good Brazilian bikini wax； and a generous slathering of Est？e Lauder self…tanner； in
case your St。 Barts tan left over from Christmas break has finally faded。 Most of us are
second…semester seniors？at last。 Our college applications are in and our schedules are light； with a
double free period every day during which we can catch a Fashion Week runway show or head
back to a friend？s penthouse apartment to drink skinny lattes； smoke cigarettes； and help pick out
the evening？s screw…homework party outfit。
Another redeeming thing about February is my all…time favorite
should…be…a…national…no…school…holiday； Valentine？s Day。 If you already have a sweetheart； lucky
you。 If you don？t； now？s the chance to put the moves on that hottie you？ve been drooling over all
winter。 Who knows？ You might find true love； or at least true lust； and soonevery day will feel like
Valentine？s Day。 Either that or you can just sit at home IMing sad； anonymous notes to people and
eating heart…shaped chocolates until you can？t fit into your favorite pair of Seven jeans anymore。
It？s up to you。 。 。 。
Sightings
SandA holding hands and wandering slowly downFifth Avenue to the bar at thepton Hotel ；
where they can be seen most Friday nights； quaffingRed Bull andVeuve Clicquot cocktails and
chuckling to themselves with the heady knowledge that they are without a doubt the hottest couple
in the room。B refusing to go insideVeronique ？a maternity store on Madison？with her glowingly
pregnant mom。D andV wearing matching black turtlenecks； their legs intertwined as they watched
that twisted； depressingKen Mogul film downtown at theAngelika。 They？re two morbid； artistic；
weirdo peas in a pod？so insanely perfect for each other； you want to shout at them； ？Hey； what
took you solong ？！？J on the Ninety…sixth Street crosstown bus； carefully studying a billboard for
breast…reduction surgery。 I？d definitely go for it if I were in her double…D cups 。 。 。 um； I mean
shoes。 The ever…adorableN playing a stoned game of ice…hockey golf with his buddies atSky Rink 。
He doesn？t seem to mind being girlfriendless。 It？s not like he？ll have any trouble finding a new
one。 。 。 。
And finally：Who？s getting in early？？
This week an annoying little group of us is going to find out whether or not we got early
admission to the top colleges in the country。 This is it。 There？s no more time for our parents to
build another new wing on the library。 No time to bribe another esteemed alum into sending the
dean of admissions a letter of remendation。 No time to star in another school play。 The
envelopes are already in the mail。
I？d like to take a moment to point out that the decision is pletely arbitrary because basically
we？re all perfect specimens。 We？re gorgeous； intelligent； well mannered and eloquent； with
influential parents and perfect transcripts （except for the occasional blip； like getting kicked out of
boarding school or having to take the SATs eight times）。
I？d also like to give a word of advice to those of us whodo get in early： Try not to talk about ittoo
much； okay？ The rest of us have a couple more months of waiting to do； and if you want to get
invited out with us； you？d better not even mention the wordsIvy League in our presence。 Our
parents do that quite enough already； thank you very much。 Not that it？s a sore subject or
anything。
I think it？s safe to say we？re all suffering from late…winter waiting…to…hear…from…colleges cabin
fever。 It？s time to run a little wild！ Just think； the later we stay out； the quicker the days will blur
by。 And believe me； every wicked thing we get up to will be glamorized； dissected； and blown
totally out of proportion right here by yours truly。 Have I ever let you down？
You know you love me。
