The Hair! The Skin! The picture perfect poses!  Do you think YOU have what it takes to be the next hit reality star?  Well, take it from us, you probably don’t.  However, if you are truly set on it, our advice would be to study up on our number one subject: Olivia Palermo (pictured at left).  She has, in less than 5 years, gone from a nobody, to the cover of NYMag as a leading “socialite”, to a reality star on MTV.  And if you’d be insane to think she would even CONSIDER sitting a fashion week out.  Obviously the girl looked flawless at ever show we saw her at (the one at left is from Mulberry’s).  Click below to see some of her photos over the last week. (If PMc were Gawker, she’d be it’s official Julia Allison). More»

Um ….yes it is.  Especially for you.

EXCLUSIVE BREAKING NEWS-They are currently filming an episode of “The City” at Ella’s tonight! Expect photos and full write up in morning! (10:00pm EST)

There were a couple of rough patches for Olivia Palermo over the years, but the girl is looking better than she ever has, she’s staring in the newest hot reality show (the City with Whitney Port), and has managed to graduate from NY Socialite High still smiling. Yes, it’s official. She’s made it, despite the odds against her, and in spite of the numerous socialites and new york media publications that made it their job to make sure she wouldn’t get here. Olivia is sweet, she’s fresh, and she’s kept a positive attitude at every event we’ve encountered her at. That’s why we are declaring her our Valedictorian, class of 2008. Congratulations Olivia! Oh, and you looked stunning at the Whitney!

^{Is that Olivia Palermo, Blair Waldorf, or Julia Allison?}

Silly Julia, Blair’s outfits are for Olivia! There is room for only one true Blair Waldorf look-a-like in this city, and that honor has already been bestowed upon Olivia Palermo, the real life Gossip Girl.  It seems, however, that nonsociety co-founder Julia Allison has all of a sudden been inspired by the social socialites.

For anyone that has spotted Olivia Palermo out and about recently, it has become very clear that she has traded up. Thank god too, this is just the hot couple we like looking up to. Her new beau is none other than the German Wilhelmina model Johannes Huebl (as we mentioned we spotted last night). As you can clearly see, she has traded up from Brad Leinhardt. Wonder if she’s still as big of fan of Izzy Gold now? What’s really funny is that Johannes is the same German model that was in that little video promoting Ms. Peterson’s book “The Manny” remember? You know the one with rival socialite Tinsley?? (see below)

Olivia and Blair, together at last. Today’s post on Izzy Gold, brought back a rush of memories from our summer affair with socialite Olivia Palermo. I can NOT believe I have not written more on how Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl IS real life Olivia Palermo (just a younger, richer, and preppier version). Omg it’s UNREAL how similar (the hair, the style, the SKIN! the SKIN!). I was planning on just leaving this post at that…. Blair is Olivia. BUT THEN! EUREKA!! I found this awesome “How To” on wikiHow titled “How to be like Blair Waldorf”. And well, I’ll just let the steps speak for themselves:

How to be like Blair Waldorf aka Olivia Palermo:

• Try getting blue contacts and dyeing your hair very dark brown. You can blow dry or straighten it, as long as it’s healthy and shiny. Blair Olivia is 5″4, with blue eyes and straight brown hair or sometimes might do loose waves depending on the occasion

Is this the new A Small World for NYC, or a an attempt to fill the gossip void left by the departure of socialiterank.com? Well either way, we know if there is rankings involved people are going to compete. Just for fun we searched for Tinsley Mortimer and Olivia Palermo to see where these dueling socialites rank up. Looks like Tinz has a healthy lead over her junior rival, with 167 more connections and a good deal more attention…

In any event the social method behind site seems pretty interesting. It aggregates the amount of times a person’s name shows up on the web to determine their “attention %”, and apparently they add people’s names manually (not sure what the purpose of this is, but sounds like a ton of work!). So its basically like a pre-populated social-network, if that makes sense?

This one is not an easy call given the many similiarities between Olivia Palermo and Palmolive. Both are widely recognized name brands (Palmolive for being a cleaning agent, Olivia for being a socialite). Both have an hourglass shape. Both contain the word “olive” or a cognate thereof in their names. Both have shiny exteriors that glimmer. Olivia Palermo is an anagram for Palmolive Liar. But in the end, we must go with Palmolive because it serves an actual purpose in our lives.

[Olivia Palermo And Izzy Gold Do The Hamptons]

Looks like Olivia Palermo will be hoping on a Hampton Jitney for a ride out to East Hampton on the 23rd of June to “host” a launch party for Izzy Gold’s summer line of clothes at the Blue & CreamLola.

Olivia and boyfriend Brad Leinhardt for the cover of Japanese Elle. Other guests will include among others Francesca Wilson. The Blue and CreamLola will also be hosting a few other events this weekend, including a photography showcase for Jamie Newman on Saturday from 4-7pm, and a crunk trunk showcase for Madison Harding from 12-4pm on Sunday the 24th:
