If Derek Blasberg calls and wants to discuss les sujets XXX, it’s all in the name of journalism–we swear. The social scribe is reporting a piece on recessionary sex and several haute types have been approached for comment. (Jack? Lazaro? Chic can dream.)

This photo of Terry Richardson and Eniko Mihalik doesn’t require much explanation. The tatted photog and Hungarian model enjoy a suggestive snack (au naturale) for the 2010 edition of the infamous Pirelli calendar….

Remember that ’80s flick, Twins, starring Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger? Based on this photo from last night’s tribute to Tim Burton at the MoMA, we would say Rachel Roy could also have easily been cast as DeVito’s unlikely physical counterpart…

The new Balenciaga fragrance is surely soon to be just as covetable as those bags, but leave it to Olivier Zahm to up the sex factor. The Purple photog shot the bottle, which is meant to mimic Balenciaga’s iconic cocoon coat, in front of a mannequin au naturale in Paris–but don’t let that distract you from the scent, which “integrates chypre floral with accentuated violet and carnation as well as urban, metal notes and redistilled cedar.”

Julianne Moore politely eschewed the press line at last night’s Cinema Society screening of her latest film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, but the actress did get chatty with one reporter, the ubiquitous Jeffrey Slonim. After saying goodbye to him and breezing into the theater without so much as a sound bite to other reporters (Chic compris), Slonim revealed that he and the actress had a past. “We went to high school together,” he said. “She was my homecoming date.”

Chloe Sevigny and Zoe Saldana had the same idea at Friday night’s Prada book launch in L.A., sporting a cut-to-there blouse and pencil skirt combo by Miu Miu. Now, Chic Report has no problem with a bit of décolletage (see: Blake Lively at last night’s Cinema Society screening), but putting these bland beige bras on display is just not our cup of tea. What say you, darlings?

Blake Lively was the woman of the heure last night at the screening of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, presented by the Cinema Society and A Diamond is Forever. On her left? Boyf Penn Badgley. On her right? None other than David Yurman, the designer of the baubles she wore for the evening. Let the campaign speculation begin!

That’s right, darlings–Ali Wise is back in business. Fashion’s favorite chic hackerette is hosting an event again! This Friday night from 7-9, Wise will be on-hand at the Alice + Olivia pop-up shop at Scoop on 73rd and 3rd Avenue along with Bettina Prentice, Dabney Mercer, Tinsley Mortimer, Cory Kennedy and more. Expect camera crews.

No cheating! Last night at the book launch of François Nars’ photography book, 15X15, we had to take the opportunity to challenge the pretty faces of the evening to a battle of the brains. So how much is 15×15, anyway? After hours of scouring Industria Superstudio, we finally found one designer who dished out the correct answer. Ring the alarms! A hearty congratulations to smarty (Virgo) pants Phillip Lim! Olivier Theyskens deserves an honorable mention, as he got it right after a second try. For the most part, the answers were, well…you’ll see.

How much is 15×15?
Simon Doonan: Let’s see…4×15 is 45 so…wait…it’s 60…so 15×15 is 180.
Dayle Haddon: 150? This is my worst area!
Erin Fetherston: 175.
Daphne Guinness: 150. No, it’s175.
Amber Valletta: 835?
Anja Rubik: I don’t know!
Lisa Marie Smith: I failed at math.
Francois Nars: I have no idea. I’m terrible at mathematics.
Selita Ebanks: I was an English major!
Jenny Shimizu: 1,734.7. I’m Japanese. I’m good with numbers.
Tyson Ballou: 200?
Olivier Theyskens: This is easy. 175. That’s not it? Can I have a second guess? 225?
WINNER! Phillip Lim: 225.

Everything about Hello Kitty is super adorable, even down to her organs! The wide-eyed kitten has teamed up with Dr. Romanelli to bring you this medical figurine that is whimsical in a dark, semi-alarming kind of way. We all know Hello Kitty has a big heart, but have you ever paused to think about what her spleen looks like…?
