Is it hot where you are? It's pretty warm over near SFist's Western Branch office and there's some ideal roofdeck weather near our SoMa office as well, so we thought we'd throw together some ideas for some hot spring fashion items you won't find on the pages of 7x7. (Yet.) You can thank us later, when you've finally peeled off all your extraneous layers of rain gear and finally find yourself lounging mostly unencumbered in a park or on a roof or on a yacht because rich yacht owners will inevitably befriend someone who looks as good as you. more ›

The other day we briefly mentioned Willie Brown's report from New York Fashion Week in which Da Mayor predicted we'd all be wearing, "those short shorts seen in San Francisco only on Vanessa Getty."* We were a little flustered at the time that we couldn't find a recent photo of Vanessa in short shorts, so we don't know how we managed to overlook this one from our friends over at SFWire. There she is, Vanessa herself, walking the floorboards at Barney's downtown in a line of fancy clothes apparently directed at "ladies who don't lunch" - which seems at odds with our constantly lunching former mayor. Anyway, SFWire has all the photos and a recap of the Barney's event, if looking at rich people is your thing. more ›

If we can leave you with one pertinent piece of information in our lifetime, it's this: When in doubt, turn to the . Why, it's chockfull of pointless rich-bitch information you need to know about this very second. Take, for example, their annual “A” list, which tracks "the Bay Area’s most talked about, scandalous, and admired celebs, socialites, politicians, and beautiful people during 2010" via how often their aggressively F5'd faces appear in the top-drawer publication. more ›

Gavin's BFF, Vanessa Getty, looked fabulous at artist Damien Hirst's show in LA last Thursday. This is a signature look for Vanessa -- vintage-looking dress, simple jewelry, and metallic clutch -- but it works. Too bad she didn't look this good in that Judith Leiber ad! more ›

It doesn't feel right that we're subbing in for SFist Ced, who's on hiatus for a few months -- so we're doing a combination Gastronomique/Philistine review in his honor! more ›

Yeah, we know, we're stuck here at SFist fetishizing weirdo wonks like Gavin Newsom and Ross Mirkarimi because we don't have any actual celebrities in town that we can follow around and talk about. Well, it's not always true! Drew Altizer sends along some pictures he took at the GlobalGreen USA fundraiser benefit ("Gorgeous and Green: An Ecofabulous Party"), whose board has enough celebrities that they were willing to fly a couple of them up for the night to dazzle us in this here little small town. more ›
