Latest girl crush

Olivia Palermo

Admittedly, my taste in television can veer towards the trashy. Gossip Girl, Australia's Next Top Model and lately, The City.

Premise is as follows: typical LA socialite gets job at Diane von Furstenburg and moves to New York. Lives in impossibly expensive apartment in Gramercy and dates Adrian Grenier look-a-like with an Australian accent (aka Jay Lyon from the band Tamarama).

Anyhow, the real stand-out in the show is Olivia Palermo, the very uptown, very polished Charlotte York/Blair Waldorf piece of work. She may not command much air time but is easily the most interesting. She reminds me of a boss I used to work for who would always take a long pause after you had said something - instead of offering an instant response like most people. Very very off-putting but I admired that quality. He practiced what your mum has told you time and again - think before you speak.
