Another installment of Alexis, and Co.'s "Look at the Look Booklet."

In an effort to make our intern Alexis work five times as hard, New York Magazine has decided to put out daily versions of their beloved Look Book for fashion week, calling them The Look Booklet.

This week's New York devotes two articles (nearly 3,000 words combined) to Inside Deep Throat, the new documentary about the pioneering skin flick.

This week in New York magazine's endlessly amusing Look Book, we meet "dabbling" artist Peter Hayn, who gives Anna Wintour a run for her money with his fifteen fur coats (better ones, he claims, would be worn on Madison Avenue). Not content to merely let Hayn speak for himself, Intern Alexis rounds up Elle's Jenny Feldman, culinary wizard Rupa Bhattacharya, and Harper Collins slave Athena Schindelheim for commentary. After the jump, our weekly analysis of New York's weekly foray into the style swamp.

· In case you're poor and starving, grab a copy of this week's New York magazine featuring a special illustration by the artist Christo and you can have it signed by the Gate-maker himself on February 15. More importantly, you can then sell it on eBay and eat for a week. [NYM]
· Brilliant thoughts from Claire Danes: "Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - they are just like panda bears, everyone's watching them, waiting to see if they'll survive." [Popbitch]
· A member of Phi Delta Theta's Northwestern University chapter is suspended following Benoit Denizet-Lewis' Times Magazine article about the chapter's drinking habits. [Daily Northwestern]
· Desperate Fox execs are eyeing a spinoff for the soon-defunct That 70's Show revolving around the Fez character. Our starstruck brother imagines the possibilities. [Defamer]
· The Quote of the Week from Fairchild Publications: "It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you often get it," from "W. Somerset Manghan." Only the best copy-editors for the publishing newsletter, right?

In this week's edition of New York magazine's Look Book, Intern Alexis consults Natalie Krinsky and Amanda Tree for their insight regarding nursing student Crystal Boria, who loves her shoes high and her nails done by Korean ladies. After the jump, their analyses of Crystal's chances at being America's Next Top Model.

In this week's edition of New York magazine's Look Book, Nom de Guerre Creative Director Holly Harnsongkram is spotted on Madison Avenue and tells us about her Parisian hat and Marc Jacobs boots (click the image at right to enlarge and see Holly in all of her tapered-jeans, avant-garde glory). Intern Alexis rounds up a stylish panel of Christopher Rovzar, Eliza Berkowitz, and Catherine Hopkinson to give Holly the once over and analyze her love of early New Wave and Godard.

Today's New York magazine features yet another David Amsden piece about hanging out with high-school kids under the guise of "journalism." His legwork results in the discovery that—get this—allowances are really important to Manhattan teens, and rich Manhattan teens work on quite a big budget. But is it just us, or is David Amsden spending an unusual amount of time with teenagers? To wit:

In this week's edition of our analysis of New York mag's Look Book, intern Alexis assembles a panel to drop some science on fashion designer Oleg Cassini (so much for pulling a random dude off the street, eh?). Oleg is positively kicking ass his 91 years, and panelists Matthew Peabody, Anna Jane Grossman, and Alex Pasternack think the man is one iPod short of total elderly domination. Their take on Oleg's style after the jump.

Oh, and that whole devastating tsunami thing.

In our ongoing study of New York magazine's Look Book feature, in which a completely random New Yorker is interviewed about his or her style, Intern Alexis tackles Ciara Gilmartin, "a young Vivienne Westwood." In order to better understand Ciara's style and the nuances of the Look Book, Alexis interviewed Entertainment Weekly's Timothy Gunatilaka, stand-up comic and filmmaker Katie Halper, and Jim Laakso of Blood Team for some stylish analysis. After the jump, their take on Ciara and her cardigan.

With their year-end issue topping out at roughly a bazillion pages, it's hardly surprising that New York magazine might run a little thin on new subjects. To wit, last week's Look Book featured "modern-day gypsy" Agathe Snow; this week, Agathe is returns via party pictures for some girl-on-girl action. An eagle-eyed reader writes in:

New York and the The New York Times Magazine both trotted out their year-end issues this week. Each is an impressive effort (Months in the making! Editorial staffs of thousands! No sociological stone unturned!), yet both leave us feeling... well, very tired.

Every week, the Strategist section of New York magazine features the Look Book, in which they flag down a completely random New Yorker and talk to them about their personal style. This week, they've grabbed "modern-day gypsy" and artist Agathe Snow. How and why they choose these people, we don't know. In order to better understand the Look Book, Alexis The Intern took to the "streets" for reader input. After the jump, The Black Table's Eric Gillin, Fleshbot Intern Matt Schneier, and Nylon's Danielle Nussbaum analyze Agathe's nuanced style.

It's taken us 24 hours to fully process the New York Magazine Trump family cover story. (Half of that time was spent preparing ourselves to look at the photos.)

Paper Magazine's founder and editor-in-chief David Hershkovits gets all Okrent on New York Magazine's ass this week in a letter to the magazine's editor:

The problem with satire, you see, is that the attack has to be blatantly ironic. It's a tricky form to master with often mixed results. Take New York's latest attempt, clearly identified as a piece of ridicule:

· Tom Scocca weighs in on New York magazine's redesign: "Editor Adam Moss has lovingly rebuilt the Cradle of New Journalism. Now can he find some new journalism to put into it?" [Observer]
· MSNBC host Keith Olbermann not fired, just vacationing. Oh. [Boston.com]
· Newsday's circulation figures are down, which means its probably not lying anymore. [Newsday]
· The Times refuses to clarify that late rapper ODB's name stood for Old Dirty Bastard. As if "bastard" is more offensive than some of the paper's usual content. [Page Six]
· J.M. Barrie (author of Peter Pan) biographer Andrew Birkin gets pissed at the Post's Jared Paul Stern for insinuating that Barrie was into young boys. [Lowdown (2nd item)]

New York magazine covers the exciting world of hedge funds, but in claiming Wall Street is all about clean living nowadays, they miss the point:

NY Mag chronicles Tina Brown comments and questions from her debut talk show. One puzzling question: "Who is the Barry Diller of the Democratic Party?" Lacking context, I'm not sure if she's looking for the Democratic candidate who's short, ambiguously gay, or just aggressively hostile when he feels remotely threatened. Someone please clarify: who is the Barry Diller of the Democratic Party? [Ed. noteoop! Door!]
