Mary Rambin NIPPLE ALERT

Whoa. If you have a personal blog that's routinely flensed on website like this one, it might not be a good idea to post a totally oversharey pic where we can seriously almost see your nipple and most of your breast. Then again? Considering that the handbag designer has an upcoming reality show with her friends, including dating columnist/Star mag's Julia Allison... it might just be genius. Checkmate!

Mary Rambin Reads Gawker! Out Loud!

Yesterday I posted an item about the sad Sex and the City ballad of handbag designer (and bestie of cewebrity Julia Allison) Mary Rambin. You see, the fetching young lady was viciously not allowed into the film's premiere and abandoned by her two friends, Julia and socialite Meghan Asha. Mary, as it turns out, bothered to read the claptrap and has decided to post a rebuttal. Well, OK, not so much a rebuttal as a Vimeo video in which she reads (sort of) the whole post aloud while Jules throws compliments at her from off-camera. I'm not really sure if she's being sarcastic or being a good sport and playing along or what, but I love it! This should happen more often. It's like books on tape. Except instead of being read by Jim Dale, the posts are read by drunk (hopefully! "glaze"!) New York City It girls. So the first installment of Audio Gawker, Mary Rambin Shot Down at 'Sex and the City' Premiere produced by Julia Allison and read by Mary Rambin, awaits you after the jump. Also, Tinsley Mortimer! If you're reading this, please please please do one. I could die happy. More »

Disaster Update! Handbag designer Mary Rambin has given us her side of the story on the whole Sex and the City premiere fiasco, in which she was not allowed into the theater.

Mary Rambin Shot Down at Sex and the City Premiere

Amid all the glamor and glitz and lady empowerment, an unsisterly tragedy struck at the Sex and the City movie premiere last night. Three friends, we'll call them Julia Allison, Meghan Asha, and Mary Rambin, got all gussied up and trotted off (with their upcoming reality show camera crew in tow) to enjoy a night of fabulousity and star gazing at the much buzzed about event. Julia the dating columnist (just like Carrie!) and Meghan (tech heiress and socialite) got in without a hitch, as they already had their tickets secure. But then, the clouds darkened and the low keening of travesties of old lilted across the red carpet, dancing grimly with the spring breeze. Mary, the handbag designer and big sister of actress Leven, was denied entrance and abandoned by her gal pals. More »

Julia TV Gets The Green Light

Our culture cannot be so debased as to give a television platform to a woman who pretends to be a Star magazine journalist, one who claims to design handbags, and the third an heir to a Sun Microsystems dynasty that we've never heard of. But, of course, it has. That rumored reality television project, one of the few things that Star's Julia Allison has ever kept secret, has been greenlit by Bravo, we're told by people familiar with the cable network. The show, tentatively called IT Girls, begins shooting this summer. More »

Julia Allison Needs Office Space, Mkaaay?

It's hard to build a reality show when your "home office" is your bed and a pink laptop. That's why Star magazine's Julia Allison and her two pals/costars (designer Mary Rambin and techblogger/heiress Meghan Asha) need office space! More »

A Field Guide to 2008's Six Douchiest Cliques

Style.com wants to tell you who the cool kids are. They've compiled a field guide to "2008's Coolest Cliques" using the following six dubious categories: The New (New) Bohemian, The European Union, The Swans 2.0, The Catwalk Queens and The New Kids on the Blog. Julia Allison is mentioned three times! The whole thing is rather irritatingly in ad-maximizing slideshow form and the commentary is anodyne, so here's a condensed and snarkier version. Buckle in, kids. We'll get through this together. More »

Mary Rambin Killed a Wookiee

Oh look. It's Friend-of-Julia Allison Mary Rambin in a belly shirt playing with her hair extension, or something, outside a Manhattan deli yesterday. Fellow-Friend-of-Julia Megan Asha was kind enough to post it on her tumblr today. Meanwhile, at Mary's own tumblr, there's a video of Mary browsing the Barneys spring shoe catalog. This video right here! Now you know.

Mary Rambin's Secret Reality Show

So you already knew about Mary Rambin's forthcoming reality show with fellow famous-for-nothings Julia Allison and Megan Asha. But did you know about her old, canceled, kind-of-sad reality show for ABC, One Ocean View? No? Well, don't feel bad, Google didn't know she was in it either. And Mary doesn't seem to talk about it much, probably because it was cancelled after just two episodes and, conveniently, her last name was never attached to the credits. But looking at photos and video from the two-year-old-show, it's not hard to figure out who the 24-year-old socialite handbag designer was. And then suddenly reading old reviews of a canceled show becomes a little fun! Also, there's a preview video with lots of Mary: More »

A Nightmare Becomes Real

Hey, check this out for a concept. What if the characters from your nightmares came back as reality show stars, and you were forced to watch, and blog, and watch yourself blogging, forever? As we reported this morning, two sets of Gawker characters are working on their own reality shows. We just got hold of Page Six magazine, which claims NBC begins filming Star magazine talking head Julia Allison and her fellow Gawker "angels" in April. Allison's It Girls production may run into the crew filming Kristian Laliberte, and assorted fellow socialites, who are scheduled to begin shooting The 10021 for ABC around the same time. Here, from the New York Post's Sunday insert, is a scan of the spread. ENLARGEยป

Viral Marketing Works: Restylane Injections for Everybody!

We take it all back: yesterday, we sniped at handbag designer Mary Rambin (also BFF of Star talking head Julia Allison, and older sister of jailbait soap star Leven) for getting the cosmetic filler Restylane in her face. After all, we said, she's only 26 — and vanity is a sin! But then we watched the before-and-after video, which could just as easily serve as a paid advertisement for a.) the celeb dermatologist Dr. Bobby, or b.) Restylane. (For all we know, she's under contract with both!) The video hit a little too close to home. Actually, it put the fear of God into us: Rambin got her nasolabial folds — aka "marionette" or smile lines — injected, 'cause hers were quite prominent... as are mine, I've been noticing for the past year. Now, instead of scolding other people for public vanity, all I can think is a.) How much? and b.) Where do I sign up? Bring it on! (Click for the video.) More »

Mary Rambin Cheerfully Admits to Restylane

"It never occurred to me that at the ripe old age of 26 that I would need a 'filler,' but apparently I did," blogs Mary Rambin, the handbag-designing beta chimp to the blogging-retired Star talking head Julia Allison's alpha. You might remember Mary as the older sister of Leven, the jailbait soap actress who a.) stole Julia's last boyfriend, and b.) is currently dating Mens' Vogue's Hud Morgan, who recently got slapped by the NYO's Spencer Morgan at the Beatrice. Now Mary is seeing Julia's dermatologist, who has convinced her to plump up her lips (or possibly her nonexistent wrinkles, we're not sure yet) with injections at the tender age of 26! (Video coming soon; we're waiting with bated breath.) Honey, that's not the thing that ladies are supposed to admit to! You're supposed to take a "nice vacation to Florida" for facelifts, or a "long lunch meeting" for chemical peels. Also? Rambin outed Allison as having hair extensions. (Guess that wasn't actually a secret; we knew there was something a little too shiny about that girl's weave!)

In Alpha Chimp's Absence, Tribe Turns to Beta Chimp

"I am ashamed of myself but in JA's absence, I have become obsessed with her 'friend' [Mary Rambin]," writes in a tipster. "Sixteen blog posts today!! do with this what you will ... and send someone here to kill me. I can't believe I've been sucked into caring about these people. But I care! Oh how I care!!!" Do not fret! Because you are not the first person to start sending in tips about Julia Allison's handbag-designer-or-whatever friend Mary since Julia stopped blogging. It's normal. It only proves researchers right: chimps have long enjoyed looking at photographs of the dominant chimps in their tribe. "I know it seems like I'm [Julia's] lady in waiting," Mary blogs. No, it seems like you are the appointed beta female. Why can't we look away? Because we're all just chattering monkeys, and recognizing hubris is good for group dynamics. More »

Mary Rambin Told The Funniest Homeless Joke!

Mary Rambin is a fashion designer who is all about "liberating women" and who is the sister of actress and social hand grenade Leven Rambin, friend to sex columnist Julia Allison and recent recipient of a hilarious joke from her father in which a filthy starving homeless woman sets up a punchline about the importance of privileged wealth. Rambin illustrated the joke with the picture at left of the funny-looking brown woman. The joke is after the jump, along with a brief story about what Rambin said at this one party to this one girl who was all, "Bitch!" More »
