Is This Jessica Joffe, Modeling Casual Knitwear?
Everybody's always been fascinated by Jessica Joffe, due to her glamorous career-juggling ways: she's kind of a writer/blogger/socialite/model/ex-girlfriend of Ryan Adams type. Sounds fun, but is that her in this ad for Talbots, pictured in a Wall Street Journal article headlined, "'Dowdy' Talbots Hopes Makeover Can Revive Sales"? If so, it's a bit of a step down from her old gigs posing for Uniqlo, J. Crew, and Banana Republic. [WSJ] -

Ryan Adams Just Answered Our Prayers
He's back on the web! You might know the scruffster for his music (Love Is Hell), but you might also know him from his entertaining oversharey Internet exploits! Exhibit 1: sending us a poem for ex-girlfriend, writer Jessica Joffe, after she blocked his email. Exhibit 2: Making multiple YouTube videos about said breakup. Now that he's back, we hope to read his delightfully unedited thoughts for a long, long time. To wit: "If only I had the lack of self respect to just bury myself in some nagging bosom in the bowels of the Beatrice Inn." Oh, yeah? Also, his "mega-talented thespian pal Park" gave him a drum.

Six Degrees Of Separation Between George W Bush and Parker Posey
It's so confusing. Luminescent scribe Jessica Joffe split up with scruffy musician Ryan Adams, who used to date Winona Ryder and Parker Posey and Alanis Morissette. (Ryan's been making inappropriate YouTube breakup videos for the past few days now, plus he sent us a poem). But did you know that George W. Bush, Open City editor Thomas Beller, big-time developer Roland Betts, and the secret society Skull and Bones also connect back to this sundered couple? Hunh? We need a diagram! (Click to enlarge.) -

Dear Ryan Adams: You'll Get Over This Soon, Babe
Don't you sometimes wish that somewhere out there, somebody is obsessively creating and editing videos about you? Seriously, it's creepily romantic. On that note, indie-ish musician Ryan Adams is at it again! This one features more of our favorite flame-haired scribe, Jessica Joffe—plus another poem calling her a "baby deer," plus sunflowers, plus a map of the West Village surrounded by a heart. In the "about this video" section, Ryan writes, "if shit is gonna be out there in no matter how small a dose, i thought i would rust off this tune. better days now mean reflecting on better days. Eh gnite." Ryan: soon you'll feel better and this will all seem like a bad dream, I promise. Click for the video! More » -

Ryan Adams/Jessica Joffe Breakup Video Long on Style, Short on Substance
The new Ryan Adams YouTube video, which we can only assume is about his recent breakup with former Observer scribe, former model, and current ShopVogue writer Jessica Joffe, is called "Sad Days." Described as "found footage of dreams," it features a couple grainy shots of Jessica in all her redheaded beauty, plus shots of Ryan goofing around. Oh, the good times they must have had! Mostly, though, it features shots of the skyline racing by from the window of a car, or shots of the stars at night. Your next breakup could easily end up like this if you aren't careful! "He's obviously reaching out," writes a tipster. "Bless him." Click to watch! If you're looking for Jess, she appears about 2 minutes in, and again at 3:20, and at the very end. More » -

"In No Way Do I Not Realize This Is Insane:" Did Jessica Joffe Block (Former) Boyfriend Ryan Adams' Email?
Yesterday, we received a poem from someone calling themselves Romantic Danzig, titled "poem for Jessica Joffe because she blocked my email." Whatever! But then we received separate information that Joffe, the glam writer (Vogue! Glamour! Observer alum!) and former Banana Republic model had broken up with scruffy "difficult to work with" NYC musician Ryan Adams. She has been credited with helping Ryan overcome his substance abuse problems. (As you might remember, he's prone to piss-drunk Internet ramblings). The poem, totally/probably written by Ryan, follows—along with his touching explanation. More » -

Jessica Joffe Undoes Your Buttons On ShopVogue.TV
"What is [former Observer staffer and Banana Republic model] Jessica Joffe up to these days?" someone asked me recently and I was like, "Dunno, being Ryan Adams' girlfriend and being mistaken for Kirsten Dunst, mostly?" How wrong I was! She is actually hosting these genius online videos for Vogue where she teaches people about how to have personal style. Her accent! Those little flicks of the eyebrow! I am a lesbian now and I'm moving to England and Germany! -

Jessica Joffe Now A Target Of The Paparazzi

Not seen: her Anya Hindmarch bag. Also, she is clearly thinking about German philosophy or about unicorns or maybe both. Oh honey. Photo: Bauer Griffin. -

Jessica Joffe and Faran Krentcil Administer The Look Book Coup De Grace
"I love to consume. Consuming is my specialty," says 26-year-old, $3,500 purse owning private equity associate Natasha Mitra. She is why this feature, intended to stare deep into the dark night of New York magazine's Look Book feature, exists. But in some circular, paradoxical, almost Buddhist way, she's also why this feature, after like, two years or something, has to go. Say goodbye! LATLB isn't going gentle into that good night, however! After the jump, Intern Alexis solicits the opinions of no less than Jessica Joffe, Faran Krentcil and Matthew Schneier as to what's in Natasha's Stratus bag.

YOU Are In Charge of 'Paper' Mag's Beautiful People Issue
Are You feeling overburdened yet? Well, at least Your responsibilities here are pretty minimal: just post a three-minute video of yourself in which You explain why You should be a Paper Beautiful Person on YouTube, then email the link to vip@papermag.com. The winner will be this year's Jessica Joffe, and who doesn't covet that honor? But seriously, it's important to remember that when Paper says "beautiful," it doesn't mean, you know, beautiful. It means "beautiful." Confused? Us too. We think it has something to do with what's inside counting, which totally explains why Perez Hilton was featured last year. Anyway, get Your asses in gear.

Jessica Joffe Would Want You to Buy Those Chinos
Earlier today, we wrote of former Observer scribe-cum-"it" girl Jessica Joffe's magnificent dominance over the September issue of Glamour, having penned the cover interview and her advertisement for Banana Republic gracing the mag's back cover. With some help from the little sleuths over at Jossip, we're now able to reveal Joffe's much-anticipated modeling debut: More » -

September, the Month of Joffe
We never thought we'd write the following words, but: dear God, are we excited for the September issue of Glamour! And not just because we're looking for 100 looks for under $100, either. WWD reports that Jessica Joffe, the former Observer slave who has risen to Vogue fashionista and indie crooner Ryan Adams' fuckbuddy, not only interviews cover model Emmy Rossum but also leaves her well-heeled mark on the back cover, where her much-anticipated Banana Republic ad will debut.

Jessica Joffe Sells Out
In 2005, former Observer wretch Jessica Joffe, having bleached away her ink stains, was one of Vogue's best-dressed, pictured prancing about all the right parties wearing all the right designers. In early 2006, she was named one of Paper mag's most beautiful people, a Burberry-clad beacon of class amidst the celebuspawn and Misshapes. And now, The Daily announces that the original firecrotch will be one of the five faces of Banana Republic's new fragrance collection, Discover. There are five scents in the collection, and Joffe will represent Jade, a "floral-fruity mixture of tropical grenade, musky cotton flower, and Kashmir wood." Alas, we'll have to wait until fall to find out more about Joffe's musky cotton flower — but we're guessing it smells like the mall. More » -

Jessica Joffe Unfairly Suffers at Met Gala
We don't know how it's possible to have spent a significant chunk of our day scrutinizing photos from last night's Met Costume Institute Ball and not have vomited into our laps, but here we are, thighs clean and stomachs under control. The sartorial criticism should be left to those who are much better suited to it, but we can't ignore the image at right, of gay matador Zac Posen and his date, former Observer scribe-cum-swan Jessica Joffe.

While we earlier grappled with the lack of Jessica Joffe in February's issue of Vogue, it's come to our attention that yesterday's Times was on Joffe duty (we missed this because it was in a Fashion Week article, and our doctor has asked that we limit our contact with that stuff to visuals only).

'Vogue' Turns Its Back on Jessica Joffe?
We found ourselves a bit out of our element the other day, belatedly flipping through the February Vogue for reasons including, but by no means limited to, boredom, self-loathing, diet inspiration, social aspiration, Barrymore-boob fascination and the need to smell like a perfume counter. Within moments, however, we realized something was amiss. The magazine reliably had all the usual Vogue-ish elements: impossibly thin models and socialites, first-person accounts of living as a piece of Eurotrash, the typical, unafforadble luxury. So why did this Vogue feel so, well, off? More » -

The Glittery Inanity of the Best-Dressed List
Times fashion writer Eric Wilson originally sparked our ire when, at the end of the transit strike, he let his asshole write a piece on how New Yorkers dressed crappily for their 63-block hikes to work in the freezing cold. This week, however, we'll put our hate on hold, as he's behind an article looking at the season's unending, PR-infused crop of Best-Dressed lists. The lists have become so predictable and beige that they've virtually lost all meaning, thus prompting Vanity Fair to hold off on publishing its 2006 list until it can "regain an element of surprise."
