Item 5.  Other Events

         On February 15, 2000, iTurf Inc. ("iTurf"), a subsidiary of dELiA*s
Inc., acquired theSpark.com, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("Spark"). Spark
was acquired pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February
4, 2000, by and among iTurf, iTurf Caveman Acquisition Corporation, a
Massachusetts corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of iTurf ("Merger Sub"),
Spark and the stockholders of Spark (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Spark was merged with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger"), with
Merger Sub as the surviving corporation, under the new name theSpark.com Inc.,
remaining a wholly-owned subsidiary of iTurf.

         The merger consideration consisted of 1,099,988 newly-issued shares of
iTurf Class A common stock. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization and will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. As a result of such issuance, dELiA*s Inc.'s percentage of the
equity in iTurf was reduced to approximately 57% of value and 89% of vote.

         Spark operates a community and content Web site focusing on college
students and young adults. The description of the Merger Agreement, which is
filed as an exhibit to this report, does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

         If certain performance goals related to the theSpark.com web site are
met, iTurf would be obligated to issue additional shares of iTurf Class A common
stock to Spark stockholders having an aggregate value of up to $13.5 million,
provided, however that if the number of additional shares required to be issued
exceeds 2,683,626, then only 2,683,626 shares will be issued and the balance of
iTurf's obligation to the Spark stockholders shall be paid in cash. Of this
additional consideration, a first portion is based on the amount of certain
categories of revenues generated by or related to theSpark.com web site during
the 52-week period beginning February 27, 2000 and ending February 24, 2001 and
a second portion is based on the amount of certain categories of revenues
generated by or related to theSpark.com web site during the 52-week period
beginning February 25, 2001 and ending February 23, 2002.

         All the shares immediately issued in this transaction are subject to
restrictions on resale. 329,997 may not be resold until six months after the
closing of the transaction. Another 329,997 shares may not be resold until 12
months after the closing of the transaction. Another 219,997 shares may not be
resold until 18 months after the closing of the transaction. The final 219,997
shares may not be resold until 24 months after the closing of the transaction.
Under certain circumstances, the restriction on resale of up to 760,233 of these
shares may be extended to the fourth anniversary of the closing.

         Any shares issued as a result of satisfaction of the performance goals
will also be subject to restrictions on resale. Approximately 37% of the first
portion of these shares may not be resold until 18 months after the closing. The
remaining approximately 63% of the first portion of these shares may not be
resold until 24 months after the closing. Approximately 37% of the second
portion of these shares may not be resold until 30 months after the closing. The
remaining approximately 63% of the second portion of these shares may not be
resold until 36 months after the closing.
