I sure hope Vogue staffers like to act...


It began with a few small cameos in "Sex and the City: The Movie" with Vogue staffers like Plum Sykes, Andre Leon Talley, and Lawren Howell sitting in on Carrie's phenomenal bridal shoot for Vogue, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, of course. Then Hamish Bowles and ALT had tiny cameos in "Valentino: The Last Emperor," with Hamish serving as a consultant for the spectacular 45-year anniversary extravaganza ("Hamish. How do you do?") and ALT gushing over a lavish kimono designed just for him by Valentino himself . And then there was the documentary that put every staffer from the top of the masthead (Anna! Grace! ALT! Sally!) down to the bottom on the big screen. Of course, I'm referring to "The September Issue." And now two more Vogue staffers will be testing out their acting chops for the season premier of "Gossip Girl" this September.

Which Vogue staffers will be lighting up our television sets this fall? Why, Hamish Bowles (Vogue's resident actor-extraordinaire, apparently) and real-life Manhattan socialite Lauren Santo Domingo. They will be playing themselves as a tie-in to promote Anna's second annual fashion event, Fashion's Night Out. I haven't watched "Gossip Girl" since the end of the first season, but you can bet that I'll be tuning in for the chance to see Hamish on-screen once again. Something tells me that LSD will be a natural at acting. We shall see!
