We missed Karlie at the Met Ball last night - but this video makes up for it.

She pirouettes across the dance room at her agency, gets "wholesome" and "classic" career advice from Molly Sims and talks about how her love of sports turned into a love of runways.

The best part is when she teaches New York Magazine reporter Kendall Herbst how to walk - the lesson comes complete with signature death stare.

We love watching models talk. It's such a good reminder of just how young they really are.

The Strangers Exclusive Clip
Serena Van Der Woodsen isn't the only dangerous beauty out there:

Gemma Ward's new movie The Strangers might actually come out soon, and MySpace is running this clip of her chasing Liv Tyler through a creepy locked house, wearing a creepy white mask, and carrying a big knife.

The clip reveals nothing about the movie except that Liv Tyler has excellent hair and a powerful scream, but oh well -

If the hype keeps up, maybe next season's Costume Ball can be all about thrillers and macabre, and then Alexander McQueen can have a field day and Gemma + Liv can host.

Fashion junkies around the city had one big question after reading Emily Nussbaum's Sex and the City article in New York this week:

Who was the crazy denim publicist who stalked SJP through the West Village to hand her a pair of really cute jeans?

We had our suspicions, and now they're confirmed:

The Blue Jean Baby was Misty Twigg, the senior publicist for MiH Jeans, which are actually our favorite ones ever.

Just as Misty told SJP, four times, you can buy them at Intermix.

Giggle giggle giggle.

Armani's talk at FIT is already over, and here are the only Giorgio highlights, other than the free shirts (at left) handed out at the end -

"You live in a city where you can practically eat fashion."

"Not everything that is new is beautiful."

"Make sure the clothes you design are wearable, no third arms or third legs."

"I just fell into fashion by chance."

"What I've done up until now is work to improve the way men and women look."

Do you think he designed this t-shirt to make us look better?

More proof that we're the fashion Gossip Girl:

Random FIT students keep sending us camera phone photos of celebrities.

At left is our latest acquisition, a photo of Giorgio Armani sitting on an FIT panel on Seventh Avenue, taken about fifteen minutes ago.

Superintern Brett is on the case, and he'll be back with a full report later.

In the meantime, let's discuss whether Mr. Armani's super power is a Kriptonic orange glow also known as perma-tan...

"Someone somewhere along the line decided that we need a new culture-by-way-of-fashion icon as a sort of generational figurehead. That Moss chick, well, she's just been around a bit long now, hasn't she? And Lily Cole, well, rather unjustly, she somehow became the visual symbol for any discussion about anorexia, so citing her as an icon of fabulous fashionability became a little bit tricky. And then, with the kind of timing that would have Dorothy Parker gasp with envy, up pops Agyness, with her misspelt fake name (Laura Hollins, since you asked), her northern accent (so that what is often referred to as "the London style press" - aka, those big magazines that have a commendable appreciation for the utterly meaningless and will include at least one black and white photo of a model standing by a dirty canal and wearing ugly shoes and a headdress from last year's Notting Hill Carnival - can patronisingly refer to her as "real"), her frankly weird taste in clothes and her fondness for hanging out with people who live in east London. To be honest, there are times when I doubt if she's an actual human being but rather a CGI construct from the office of Dazed & Confused" - Hadley Freeman, on the Agyness Deyn phenomenon, in the Guardian.

It looks like nobody can get enough of contests lately.

Givenchy's teamed up with social advertising site Brickfish to bring us the latest think-of-it-yourself beauty campaign for their bestselling Prisme Foundation Compact.

Those with a serious love for collectible beauty products, or those with a ton of time on their hands, are asked to come up with a "sassy slogan" for the compact, which will be printed right into the foundation of actual compacts should you think of something cute enough.

The person with the wittiest sentence, chosen by Givenchy's judges, will receive copies of the actual compact printed with their slogan to keep or to give out (or sell on eBay?) and a year's supply of Givenchy products worth $3,000.

Submit your entries on the campaign's site to enter - you have until June 16.

We think our readers could do particularly well - so far the entries are mostly of the "Be You, Always" variety.

Our vote for the best so far? "Right angles rarely occur in nature".

What I learned at the Met Ball last night:

- Zac Posen is my fashion superhero. Please see his combined superman costume with Kate Mara.

- Models only hang out with models. I felt like a kid in a candy store watching Coco, Anja, Hilary, Chanel, Stam, Lily D., and Doutzen cluster for 15 minutes...although literally no one else cared. Apparently George Clooney's a bigger deal.

- Michelle Trachtenberg is one of the models. She jumped into Stam's arms and kiss/kissed everyone else, (while also, interestingly enough, avoiding every single Gossip Girl cast member on the red carpet).

- Philip Lim and Chanel Iman are the perfect couple - and probably the only two people who look amazing in that faded mustard color.

- The Voguettes did not have to wear shades of white. I spotted mint green, gold, purple, and navy - which was on Meredith Melling-Burke who also wore Natalie's beloved YSL star necklace.

- When I asked Christopher Bailey which superhero he was channelling, he said, "Christopher Bailey!" and giggled.

- Donatella Versace wears a wig.

- Penn Badgley wears red and blue cufflinks - his personal homage to Spiderman - while waiting for Blake Lively to pose for pictures. Apparently, the waiting has become a nightly routine.

- When Pacey stands next to Chuck, Nate and Dan, I long for the teen dramas of my adolescence - even if the clothes are better now.
