As far as she’s concerned, blocks above 14^th St. are not part of Manhattan.

As for Los Angeles, she’s rarely, barely there, though she’ll maybe play in WeHo, breeze through MOCA, or get her soy cappuccino on in Los Feliz. 

Call her a high brow about the low brow, a low brow about the high brow, and she’ll just shake her head of carefully dissheveled hair.

Total downtown doll.

So for stuffing her stocking, forget the Starbucks card - I told you, send those to me and I’ll love you like a pair of five-inch Loubies - and start with some overpriced hair product.

American Crew Fiber  “is men’s hair product that works for the girls as well,” says Susan W. “Waxy with a matte finish. Smells like lemons. Share it with your husband—or not.” 

Hmm, not. 

And “If I want my naturally thin and very slightly wavy hair to look like I spent a day at the beach then rolled around in bed for awhile,” says Heather Haber. 

Ooh la love, Ms. Heather.

“(Yes, that IS a good thing) with massive amounts of volume, I turn to Bigelow Chemists : Kusco-Murphy Beach Hair ” says Heather Haber. 

Gotcha, doll.

But maybe she’s as loyal to her hair product as she is to getting soy lattes at her non-Dean & Star Deluca Bucks coffee boutique, maybe as faithful as your K is to her five-inch heels,  maybe it’d be smoother to gift her a pair of Three Delight rose tights.  A sheer hose makes the rose-print look tattooed on your legs, giving the tights a soft edge, while keeping them a pair of simply “beautiful tights,” says Aracne.

Plus, no matter how downtown your doll is, no matter what a boss lady she is, whether or not she was rocking leggings three years before La Lohan, those step-children of real hosiery need to go. 

And if your downtownie doesn’t rock one already, she’ll want last year’s It bag, current classic, the Balenciaga Biker bag. “Rocker chic, goes with everything,” says Ereyna. “Cranberry is a refreshing color to spice up outfits.”

Sure is. Maybe she already knows that though, maybe her closet has one or two or three pieces of evidence of this. Check this Alessandro Dell’Acqua metallic mirror leather tote, then. All glossy golden, it’s a downtown doll’s shield as she glides through holiday hustle, it’s “liquid leather…” says Haute_Girl.

That’s about the only blingy thing she’d like, right? So she might also dig this Todd Reed raw diamond ring. “I never liked diamonds until I saw this ring! Diamonds in the raw are earthy and refined at the same time,” says Twirl Girl. “Combined with gold and steel, this modern piece is stunning.”

Like these Topshop metal heel court shoes. A perfect pair of peeptoes, great as any downtown doll’s jogging shoes, and “appropriately femme fatale for me to act arrogant and seductive in. Metal cone heels! (Swoons as red lips draw slowly on cigarette-holder end),” says The Cultural Blindspot .
