OLIVIA PALERMO
Is Julia Allison Obsessed With Blair Waldorf, Or Olivia Palermo?
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.

Olivia Palermo Trades Up
[Photos via NY Social Diary]
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 “Golden Jew” 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)
Blair Waldorf Is Real-Life Olivia Palermo
[Photos from NYMag and gossipgirl-tv]
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
Famegame.com
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?
Olivia Palermo vs. Palmolive
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 garbage summer line of clothes at the Blue & CreamLola. Its always funny to see two people who are otherwise friends try and put on a show of a formal business parternship.
Olivia and boyfriend Brad Leinhardt (aka “Golden Jew”) 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:

Socialite Olivia Palermo with her boyfriend aka “the Golden Jew” at “Izzy Gold Rocks NYC” in April:
Promoting his “Sean Lennon friendly fire” t-shirts with Olivia:
Now, we were at first repulsed by this blatant display of in-your-face-hipsterism…what with the screened “fuck everyone” and “bad ass” t-shirts to the use of promotion by all of the standard familiar celebrity hipsters and socialites posings. But then we discovered this:

Name: The Slutka Izzy Gold Secret Society 6.6.2006
Type: Entertainment & Arts - Fashion
Description: This is a secret society that began centuries ago on June 6th, 2006 in a small town called Manhattan. Weekly secret meetings are held in the caverns of a wine celler in a swanky italian restuarant on the UES. None of our secrets have ever been revealed to the public.
