Imaginary Socialite Meets The Young Manhattanite

After reading Choire Sicha's Daily Transom post about the "Imaginary Socialite" (are any of them real?) I felt compelled to seek out my theoretical soul sister and rake her over the coals of the Young Manhattanite Interview I once did for Gothamist. These are the real replies from the person who answers emails sent to: am.i@imaginarysocialite.com -- I wouldn't make this up and yes, s/he sent that picture too.
Time travel question: What era, day or event in New York's history would you like to re-live?
I would like to see my parents' first date. It was uptown, on a racquetball court, and I imagine they both wore Lacoste, and smug smiles to match. I also imagine my mother won, though not fairly...
9pm, Wednesday - what are you doing?
Causing trouble with Boxer and The Seeker. This usually involves a penthouse, champagne, and Annie's organic dressing.
What's your New York motto?
Wait for the sample sale!
Best celebrity sighting in New York, or personal experience with one if you're that type.
Candace Bushnell once complimented my dress. This is the ultimate for me, although I did see Nick and Jessica on 14th Street yesterday!
Describe that low, low moment when you thought you just might have to leave NYC for good.
Anytime Bill Cunningham won't take my picture at a party.
Just after midnight on a Saturday - what are you doing?
Flirting with Scout, dancing with Heather, and chatting with Thomas at Misshapes!
What's the most expensive thing in your wardrobe?
I keep a gun in my wardrobe; its proven very valuable... okay, no, there are several things from Marc Jacobs that probably financed the man's entire real estate portfolio.
Where do you summer?
On other people's yachts - my estate is also imaginary!
Who do you consider to be the greatest New Yorker of all-time?
Oh, I can't answer this - too much pressure, plus, Holly Golightly is FAKE!
What was your best dining experience in NYC?
Boxer and The Seeker and I eating bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches in a Soho loft at 7 am, totally dumbstruck from the night before and watching a bootleg Star Wars marathon. Later we crashed in other people's beds and woke up, had a Pop Burger eating contest. Which I TOTALLY won.
Just how much do you really love New York?
So much that I've given up the chance at European royalty just to live here.
What happened the last time you went to L.A.?
I ate tacos with Vanessa Getty in front of her museum.
Medication: What and how much do you take?
I'm not pregnant; you take it from there.
Of all the movies made about (or highly associated with) New York, what role would you have liked to be cast in?
Kate Hudson in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." I know it's a cheesy, objectively bad movie. I don't care.
If you could change one thing about New York, what would it be?
Anna Wintour would hold open office hours. And call me back, dammit.
The End of The World is finally happening. Be it the Rapture, War of Armageddon, reversal of the Sun's magnetic field, or Williamsburg stops sucking. What are you going to do with your last 24 hours in NYC?
Kissing a boy I really love in a Chanel couture gown I stole from the Costume Institute.
