Remember that episode of Top Model, where the girls had to rollerskate while modeling Harajuku-inspired makeup and showing off Dooney + Bourke purses, and everyone was like, “Real models would never have to do that!”

Well… uh…

The latest OP campaign features Ashley Tisdale and Sarah Hyland showing off cute cutoffs and bikinis while rollerskating through LA.

The Tiz seems pretty comfortable on her skates – she’s a trained dancer, after all – but Sarah Hyland, while adorable, looks a bit terrified.

Click through to see her zooming past the beach, plus other behind-the-scenes shots of the girls on set.

Look at this tee…

Isn’t it neat?

Wouldn’t you think my wardrobe is complete?

Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl…

The girl who wears…

Everything?!

(Sorry; had to.  But seriously, this Mermaid At Heart tank top is so adorable.  Get it at Pac Sun for $30.)

Joni Sternbach is awesome because:

a.) In her series “Surfland,” the NYC-based photographer takes tons of pictures surfers in their natural habitat (a.k.a the beach).

b.) She doesn’t discriminate between old and young, novices and pros, which we love.

c.) Even if you don’t surf yourself, you can still appreciate these seriously impressive images.

d.) 4th of July might be over, but who says we can’t daydream until the next holiday weekend rolls around?

Okay, so that was a trick question.

The answer is actually e.) All of the above.

In the wake of Coachella, we feel the need to remind you of the following Rock Fan Etiquette:

When you see a rock band you love at a press event or huge public party – such as CSS, pictured here rocking out at Sailor Jerry’s epic desert bash last weekend – it is okay to ask the, nicely, if you can take their picture.

It is okay to get a cool candid shot of them having fun, dancing with friends (maybe even your friends), and rocking the Jeremy Scott “TRASH” t-shirt like they were born with a closet of designer sportswear.

All of this is awesome.

But here’s where it gets a little fuzzy (perhaps because of the Sailor Jerry rum)…

I think I had about 500 popsicles at Coachella.
I’m now experiencing major withdrawal symptoms and would love nothing more than a frozen, sugary treat.

Which probably explains why I’m flipping out over this set of ice pop molds…
The DIY Popsicle possibilities are endless!

It’s not our Young Hollywood party, it’s a benefit that NYLON Guys and Bloomingdale’s are throwing for the Surfrider Foundation this Wednesday.  Join us for a first crack at exclusive gear by Marc Jacobs, Paul Smith, and more, plus Hayden Panettiere, Gabe Saporta, Rory Culkin, and whoever else from our pages shows up to support the cause.  See below for the New York invite…

If you live in the warm weather, we’re already jealous of you.

But thanks to The Outnet, we’re now kind of seething.

They’ve created their own boutique just for warm weather, with absolutely everything -

Sundresses, shades, the works -

For tropical temperatures.

Have we mentioned it’s snowing today in NYC?

(If you’re looking for an online boutique for cold weather, we’ve got that too – sort of.  I made a Slytherin store on Boutiques.com for the Pansy Parkinson in all of us – lots of wool and leather!)

That’s ROXY Girl Iris Yen at the beach.

We spent most of the day there, watching surfers prepare for the Eddies, a tournament in honor of lifeguard and surfer Eddie Aikau, who died while saving a capsized boat full of his friends (they survived).

To mark the opening of the competition, Eddie’s peers held a paddle-out, the traditional memorial service for surfers, where riders form a circle on their boards while a prayer is chanted into the ocean and sky.

Then there was a luau.  And lots of mai tais.

It’s 8 am here in Hawaii, but I’m already up, prepping for a full day in the water – maybe I’ll actually get up on a wave by sundown.

Maybe.

PS – Being a ROXY Girl apparently has its privileges around here. When a local cop saw the “ROXY Team” sticker on our car, he cleared a parking spot for us ON THE GRASS next to the beach. “You girls are the bomb!” he said. Um, amazing.
