The tossed off "former playboy model turned blogger" line was actually my favorite thing in the whole piece -- as though playboy model were a career, and she had made a career change.

It's win-win for the times. Rich people are narcissistic and enjoy reading stories about themselves, poor people (ie the rest of us) are masochistic and enjoy reading stories about rich people.

seriously, serious fuck the megarich. this isnt the thread to say this probably but like half of my life i am in contact with exceedingly wealthy people – not just 'well off' but like scrooge mcduck loaded- and let me tell you that even if they are decent, nice, whatever, they are so completely out of the fucking loop on everything that they just passively make those around them feel like shit all the time with the kind of attitudes in these articles. the moderately wealthy people i know are at least somewhat of this planet and so, you know, mixed bag of awesome/shitty/whatever roughly in proportion to the normal workaday population. but my god, the class war can't come soon enough for my money b/c the vanderbilts and carnegies and morgans of today are just ... ugh ... excruciatingly awful

An injunction against flannel, shorts and other typical brunch fashions helps convey the message that the sparklers-and-champagne bacchanal known as the Day and Night Brunch, which until June was held at the Plaza, is for socialites and financiers, not hotel guests in search of French toast, said Daniel Koch, who runs the weekly party with his twin brother, Derek.“You get guys in from L.A., they think a brunch is a brunch,” Mr. Koch said. “We have to say, ‘Look, dude, this isn’t what you think it is.’ You can’t rock a T-shirt here unless you’re a rock star.”(How does one dress for a brunch that resembles a Russian oligarch’s stag party? Ladies should consider brightly colored dresses or skirts and avoid cleavage-baring blouses. “You don’t want that in your face at brunch,” said Mr. Koch, who now holds his brunch at different locations each week, including the Hamptons and St.-Tropez. Guys “need an edge; wear a bow tie or, if you have to, go out and buy a $400 pair of sunglasses.”)New Yorkers fleeing the city in summer may think they’ve earned a vacation from judgment, but they’re wrong — particularly at South Pointe, a hot new dance club in Southampton, N.Y.“We cater to the ‘authentic’ Hamptons crowd,” said Ben Grieff, an owner, “people who are actually from the Hamptons, not just people who drive out here to see a big D.J.” (Mr. Grieff clarified: “From the Hamptons” refers to people whose parents had a summer home there as a child, not to duck farmers.)
“You get guys in from L.A., they think a brunch is a brunch,” Mr. Koch said. “We have to say, ‘Look, dude, this isn’t what you think it is.’ You can’t rock a T-shirt here unless you’re a rock star.”
