@RousseMacabre, from Ravenclaw: Yeah, it's totally cute. I want to hate it but I just can't. And she and Ice-T seem to really dig each other, too.

@patti cake: it really should be served in a Dooney & Bourke, cheaper and she repped them back in the day before they dropped her after the troubles....

I really like them, and I am happy for them!

@Blair Waldorf: Holy. Shit.
