Olivia Palermo carries Hermes in NYC

Olivia Palermo carries Hermes Birkin
So the best part of this entire picture is not Olivia Palermo (she’s kind of…pointy, don’t you think?). It’s not her Hermes Birkin (although who doesn’t love a Birkin?). It’s not her Diane von Furstenberg top (PurseBlog readers know how I feel about DVF). It’s not any of those things, not by a long shot.

The best part is the slew of beer-bellied, leering paparrazos watching her walk by, completely unimpressed by her existence or presence. The one in the Clemson shirt actually has his giant camera IN HIS HAND and can’t be bothered to lift it up to take a picture of her. Someone obviously recognized her and cared enough to record the moment for posterity or we wouldn’t be looking at it here, but I think it’s telling that the onlookers weren’t cropped out. Telling, and hilarious.

The best part of this pic are the Marc Jacobs shopping bags she’s carrying. What’s in there?!?!?

Olivia Palermo’s Dad Tries for Bankruptcy, Fails * 8/16/07 at 10:38 AM * Comment 1Comment 1Comments Olivia Palermo Photo: Getty Images Up-and-climbing socialite Olivia Palermo may still be smarting from her feud with rival Tinsley Mortimer, as “Page Six” reports today, but she’s got bigger problems, ones that have million-dollar price tags. Palermo’s pop and personal slush fund, real-estate consultant Douglas Palermo, recently lost a hefty bankruptcy case. Palermo senior’s appeal to get out of paying over $2.75 million to a creditor was rejected after the judge found that Palermo had used multiple fake organizations to obscure his actual worth from lenders. Instead of paying his bills, Palermo joined private clubs and sent his children, Olivia and Grant, to expensive schools. He also issued “hundreds of checks” to his Korean dry cleaner, which he used as an “unofficial credit line,” and skimped on alimony payments. That’s gotta sting for flashbulb-friendly Olivia — if dad’s in debt, does daughter have to … work? Doubet LLC vs. Douglas E. Palermo [U.S. Bankruptcy Court] Socialite Snit Scars Benefit [NYP]
