like father, like daughter?

Edwards as a friend of the poor]

Today in heartwarming internet upstart stories: meet Urbanista, an
online shopping rolodex designed to help the well-heeled girlies of
New York hunt down the best tailors, doctors, boutiques and whatnot,
all compiled from the opinions of some 1,000 ladies who lunch. As the
Urbanistas say, “a hip 20-something is totally going to trust her
besties’ advice over Google” when figuring out where to get her “Marc
Jacobs shoes re-heeled.” (And if you don’t have MJ shoes, precious,
we really don’t know how you can even get out of your Portica canopy
bed in the morning.)
Best of all, the Urbanista Rolodex is brought to you by girls who
absolutely would know where to throw their money: enterprising Vanity
Fair editorial assistants Jessica Flint and Cate Edwards — as in
daughter of smiley would-be VP John Edwards. Daddy (and Graydon) must
be so proud.
