Shahidi is 21, gorgeous, ironic, poised, very thin, and hilariously bitchy.
10 p.m. | We begin at Botanica Bar, a once-hip hipster hub on the northern edge of Nolita. It’s full of bland-looking 30-somethings pounding draft beers, so I spot Serena immediately, perched daintily on a bar stool with her short Natalie Portman cut, slurping a frozen paloma with Mel. To match her dramatically enunciated elocution, Serena is wearing a very Mad Men–esque outfit: bright-red lips, a black headband, and a short plaid skirt with three-inch, square-toed, patent-leather heels.

11:23 p.m. | A curly haired girl compliments the fan Mel is using to cool off in the hot bar, but then it becomes clear that she’s only entered the conversation to talk to Serena. “It’s going to get a little sketchy here right now. I took inventory of your whole group, and then I saw you,” she says to Serena. “Weird! Like internet to in-person! Because, like, organically, we just met!” she screams, incomprehensibly.
12:10 a.m. | Mel also meets an admirer, a tatted Southern Californian in white overalls, shirtless underneath. “It’s not everyday I meet an Instagram crush so, hahahaha, that’s cool!” he tells me when Mel is out of earshot, before buying me a drink. He’s here with his friends, though it took them a while to find the place with all of the Ray’s Pizzas on Google Maps. I report his crush back to the girls, but they suspect, despite the flirting, that he’s probably gay.
