A pairing of the literary and the fashion worlds doesn’t exactly seem like a match made in heaven. That is, unless you’re talking about Tom Wolfe’s suits, Truman Capote’s spectacles, or the late Hunter S. Thompson’s propensity to break every fashion (not to mention, literary) rule in the book. But, thanks to "Flash Fiction" -- a recently launched multimedia project courtesy of Diesel -- the literary world is getting a whole lot more fashionable.

Sure, this was a couple weeks back, and it's not our regular beat, and it's not even a slow news week. Instead it's a Sloane news week: Sloane Crosley that is, who, along with one Christopher Tennant, celebrated joint 30th birthdays last August 14. There's neither time nor inclination to recap the entire incestuous genealogy represented by the New York media clusterduck at this party, but Crosley is a world-famous publicist and author of I Was Told There'd Be Cake; Tennant is a world-famous journalista and author of The Official Filthy Rich Handbook. Otherwise in attendance were Gawker people, BlackBook people, Radar people, and lots of other people. In fact, sources claim the party wound down -- after quite a long time -- among libation samplings at the home of BlackBook alumnus Steve Garbarino, after stops at the Spotted Pig, Lunetta, and Beatrice Inn. So check the gallery (hat tip, Zoe Turnbull) and ask why you thought you had better things to do that night.
