When we got an announcement that Stylebop’s now shipping from its New York distribution center in New York, we thought, “Style? Don’t you mean Shop?”

Click, then we realized it didn’t take us to Shopbop, home of Marc by Marc and Ella Moss, but to its shopping doppelgänger, Stylebop, home of Marc by Marc and Ella Moss.

To be fair, there are some differences - Stylebop has fewer labels and they veer more on the expensive, grown-up side. And, unlike Shopbop, Stylebop doesn’t use models, so they avoid the awkward poses and stares of Shopbop’s girls. Plus, Stylebop’s roster includes designers like Valentino and Balmain, way too up-market of labels even for Shopbop Boutique.

So could these two Bops really be a coincidence? Or is Stylebop trying to scoop up the girls who’ve outgrown Shopbop’s selection of Juicy?

Either way, all these bops are making us dizzy.

After what seems like an eternity of seeing the same few models on heavy rotation, ShopBop has decided to mix it up.

We noticed today that there are five new models added to the site, and so far, we like what we see.

They’re all quite pretty and don’t seem to make any weird faces. They’re also a little more reflective of the many backgrounds and races of girls who enjoy ShopBop (but still only a little.)

And what about the veteran models?

They’re all there (we checked), just not as frequently.

It even looks like they’ve been working on their poses.

Guess they got our memo?

When we first posted about ShopBop, we had no idea there was such an obsession for their models. People know them. People talk about them. We’ve even caught comments - and entire posts on other blogs - about the girls who model Juicy for a living.

They don’t seem to pose for any other catalogs or shopping websites. They all seem to have only one, continuous job: Distracting Shopbop shoppers from the clothes with annoying poses and confused gazes.

And since everyone seems to know who they are (on sight, anyway,) we thought we’d try to match some names to these familiar faces.

So we really want to know a little more about these girls, specifically the red-haired one that everyone loves to hate.

Do any of you out there know them?
