Stephanie Prommer is a writer, editor and stylist in the fashion and entertainment industry. She's on the scene at all the hot parties, bringing you the inside scoop on A-list style and gossip.

If you're a cool kid in the city with an asymmetrical haircut or intentionally ironic T-shirt, then you were probably at the Milk Gallery on June 24^th for the vernissage of the "Rebel Rebel" art exhibit. Showcasing a collaboration between rock 'n roll photographer Mick Rock and artist Russell Young and benefiting The Art of Elysium, the display featured Warholian-style screen prints of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed splashed in acid-bright hues.

Notable names in attendance included British model Agyness Deyn, Riley Keough (Elvis' grandbaby), Elijah Wood, Joshua Jackson, fashion designer Tara Subkoff, and Danny Masterson of That 70's Show fame, who spun records under the best moniker ever: "DJ Mom Jeans." Joshua Jackson told me that he wasn't actually even invited to the fete, saying: "My brother is friends with the gallery owner. I wish I could say I was on the list, but I wasn't on the list. I'm the random brother. I put in 30 years on this connection, and it's about time it started paying off!"

In a strange turn of events there was also a high quotient of All My Children stars there, including Rebecca Budig, Cameron Mathison and Michael E. Knight. Why, you ask? Because artist Russell Young is married to former soap diva-turned-style-expert Finola Hughes.

As anyone who saw Tom Cruise's freaky, possessed-by-aliens recruiting video is well aware, there's a hot new world religion -- and it's stealing money from followed by an ever-increasing list of top notch celebrities. Unfortunately, some of you may be constrained by the rules of your boring, old-school faith (or just your sanity) to fully embrace the ideals of Scientology, and accept that aliens are coming to whisk you away to magical land of intergalactic fancy. But never fear, with a few simple modifications to your appearance, you can get in on the Scientology trend by dressing the part.

Step 1: Look sharp. From Tom Cruise, to John Travolta, to Danny Masterson, every member of the "Church" of Scientology is dressed to impress the cosmos whenever they're in public. That means well-trimmed facial fuzz (or clean-shaven), neatly-cropped (or at least well-kept) hair, and fitted, no-frills clothing. Remember, you're on a mission to keep humanity from destroying itself -- look like you care, please.

Step 2: Grow a porn star stache This may only apply to younger members of the church, as senior members like Tom Cruise and John Travolta have opted to shave. That said, it's possible that once you reach a certain status, you're required to drink weird blue liquid from Neptune that prevents your body from producing facial hair, and thus younger members don 70s cop mustaches out of respect for their furless elders. But that's only a theory.

Step 3: Cultivate a creepy, "I might be a robot" expression Potentially a challenge, considering you, unlike your celebrity counterparts, probably aren't a trained actor. Yet, it's essential that you master the Scientology stare if you're going to be believable. You're looking for big, warm smiles coupled with a dead, yet determined look in your eye that suggests there's someone else behind the wheel.

Master these steps, and you'll be the envy of your friends/the galaxy at large.
