"However this story shows what a great model Eva is...[She's] taking advantage of the props at her disposal. Her right hand gracefully holds her cigarette. She is aware of the dangers of smoking but doesn't care." - Women Management Blog on Eva Mendes' Steven Meisel Vogue Italia shoot.

"So I'm like totally going to like NYC like yesterday but like most probably just soon for like a totally hot fashion shoot, so um I'm totally gonna freak out and like return and like tell you how psyched I am about like using the words trash and like cell and my apartment like next time we hang out and um blog and LIKE totally talk fashion!!!" - Erin O'Connor doing her best American accent on her Vogue UK blog.

"Can you wear Topman at 67? Or is it just mutton dressed as ram?" - Nicky Haslam, on men dressing young, to the Guardian.

"Headbands...what a tough accessory. When they are right, they are really right and when they are wrong you're Loverboy." - The Sartorialist, on Blair Waldorf's preferred hair ornament

“This is my trademark: I rip my T-shirt. I’m into the whole showing-a-bit-of-chest-hair thing.” - Ed Westwick, in Time Out.

"Duvets (the Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova) and tartan crinolines (Sarah Jessica Parker) have previously been requisitioned hot off the catwalks, giving bloggers endless pleasure as they earnestly debated the unfolding catastrophes. This year the actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg came as a lung, Kate Moss as a barmaid and Katie Holmes - Mrs Tom Cruise - finally outed herself as a Thetan." --The London Times on the Met Ball.

"So what we really want to know is - will you name a pair of panties after us?" - Faran to Agent Provocateur founder - and son of Vivienne Westwood - Joe Corre, at the AP party last night.

He swore he would and promised pictures as soon as "The Britt" and "The Faran" are finished.

"Even you should know that jealousy clashes with L.L. Bean pants" - Jenny to Dan, on last night's Gossip Girl, the Greatest Hour of Our Time.

"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.

"I was given a crash course in playing softball and at one point hit the ball so hard it actually broke in half." - Naomi Campbell, on her softball scene for Ugly Betty.

“What has changed, is that now people have bragging rights about what they paid. I admired a woman’s pair of pants at a party recently and she said, ‘Fourteen dollars! H&M!’ It really is, among the people I know, part of what they do now.” - Sarah Jessica Parker discussing her Steve and Barry's line in The New York Times.

"Stop it! Stop asking me about Hillary’s pantsuits, or any other aspect of her personal style! If you persist, I swear to God I will stuff Mrs. Clinton into a Balenciaga bubble dress with matching gladiator spike-heeled boots, and then you’ll be sorry. Every 20 minutes, I get a jangling call from an earnest hack looking for quips about the fashion choices of the presidential candidates. These content generators are hell-bent on viewing the current political jousting match through the lens of la mode: What do I think of Hillary’s pink blouses? Is Cindy McCain hitting the mark with her fashion choices? How about that tie Barack wore last night? Oy vey! Talk about looking for love in all the wrong places." - Simon Doonan, in The New York Observer.

"Why did we stop drinking these?" - Miranda

"Because everyone else started." - Carrie

From a SATC: The Movie commercial. Memo to Gossip Girl...

"Christian's shoes are like the circus coming into town...[like] a total drug and there is no methadone." - Simon Doonan to WWD.

"I lip-synch, but I'm more of an example, an icon in my own right, a muse. I want people to look at me and feel inspired, to feel hope, to smile. I want to surge positive energy in your body." - Andre J, in New York Look Book, a Gallery of Street Fashion.

"Fashion thinks more about me than what I think about it. I just wore what I wore and people noticed. The sexiest thing a woman could wear? Being stark f***ing naked. Show me a woman who is faithful, and I won't believe you. I don't do underwear. I never do the washing. How would I know whether my clothes stink? I throw them away." - Keith Richards to the London Times.

"Did it strike anyone that Blair's running through the crowd after getting yogurt thrown on her was like Anna Wintour's running through the masses outside of Fashion Week when someone slammed a pie in her face? Plus 2." - From the plus-side list of the Daily Intelligencer's GG recap.
