'Observer' Mourns "It Girl" Obsolescence Prematurely?

Remember back when it was possible for people to simultaneously be famous and also seem genuinely cool? Hillary Frey, the new culture editor of the New York Observer, totally does. "An It Girl was out and about; she walked our streets, shared our parks, sat next to us at the International Bar on First Avenue. She was Chlo . Parker. Claire." Sadly, though, those ladies are all now successful in mainstream TV show and movies! (Also, Claire Danes and her English lover were sitting two feet away from Hillary Frey last Tuesday at the Old Town Bar, which is kind of funny.) Also, Our Girls are older and not as wild now. And a new crop of "It Girls" hasn't risen up to replace them, according to Hillary. Why? Oh, oops, it's our fault.
