Way down yonder in hallowed halls of Philly Mag, there’s a world of surprises. For one thing, you might be surprised ‚Äî although we weren’t ‚Äî to find that it’s not Jessica Pressler who’s the firecracker in the bunch. Rather, it’s Moe Tkacik. These days, Moe roves where J-Press merely Googles, and trendfucks where her teammate merely does, well, this. Knowing the gal pals personally, we always assumed that this was a secret best kept among the same 20 media people who lack enough in their lives to bother caring, but imagine our surprise when a reader pointed us to these photos of Moe on the seventh circle of hipster hell, The Cobrasnake. (There’s more, we think, but seriously: We have work to do, Valania. Stop Cobrasnaking all day.) Seems like Moe’s gone on walkabout: Some of these photos seem to be in NYC, some in LA, some in some other strange land where the Red Bull doth flow like easy wine. Stands to reason: Tkacik’s rumoured to be working on a book about “the nothing-based economy” and marketing vis-a-vis American Apparel ‚Äî OMG, he screws his employees! That’s NEVER happened before! ‚Äî and we’re guessing there’s some, erm, spiritual journeys to be made on the way to the throne of Dov Charney. Atta girl. Oh, and the eye makeup? Fierce, girl.
