Those were stricken from the first draft early on. Nowhere in the Zeitgeist Manifesto was there a demand for Gatsbabies.
"They're products of the zeitgeist right now, and that zeitgeist is one of social media and ability to be your own kind of publicist," said Rachelle Hruska, the founder of Guest of a Guest, which has helped cultivate the personas of both Mr. Whoa hey, where did these obnoxious assholes come from? It's as if they were summoned by magic! three dandyish gentlemen-but straight, mind you, very, very straight-who seemed to come out of nowhere. Thank God, while the rest of the world was waking up to the idea of fiscal responsibility, there were still a few brave, douchey souls who were plotting take back their ascots and restore the prominence of Asshole Social Climbers. God, remember when social bravado and dandyish fashion gambits were REPRESSED? What an awful time. Suddenly it was okay again to venture into the limelight, okay to aspire to notoriety and social prominence.Įverything about this paragraph is awful. A socially ambitious lad no longer had to hide his Cartier cufflinks or Stubbs & Wootton slippers under a bushel. The impassioned battle cries of the stringy-haired sleeping-bag brigade, fulminating about the ample chasm separating the 99 and 1 percents, had faded. You know?Īfter a long, dire post-Lehman cold snap, during which ostentatious displays of wealth, social bravado and dandyish fashion gambits were put into deep hibernation, something was stirring. but he also kinda looks like a pile of severed rat tails. You can't jump from Gable to Disick in the same analogy.
TABBER BENEDICT JUSTIN ROSS LEE UPGRADE
If you squinted, he even resembled a clean shaven Clark Gable, or a more avuncular upgrade of reality TV-rake Scott Disick.ĭude, the gulf between Clark Gable and Scott Disick is so wide you could stuff Denton's head into it. I look forward to hearing from Tabber's future children: Presslia, Frencher, and Chippen. The ability of high society dipshits to come up with new and terrifyingly obnoxious names for their offspring continues to astound me. Every time I think I've conceived of every terrible rich white person name, they go and spring TABBER on me. Lee is an entrepreneur and shameless self-promoter.Īnd who doesn't love a shameless self-promoter? From Tila Tequila to Bill Romanowski, I think it's fair to say that shameless self-promoters are some of the most admired people in America today. O ho ho! That means he's fucked a lot of them! IF YOU CATCH HIS DRIFT. "Unfortunately for these ladies, I've already shaken my stick at most of them," he added with a wink. The place was packed with bros in suit-coats and more babes in slinkier-than-thou dresses, in the appraisal of Justin Ross Lee, than one could shake a stick at. Why not Photoshop yourself onto a Ralph Lauren catalog cover while you're at it? I do not like this person. But by the seventh time, I'm over your travel fetish. I kinda get that, even if you took a plane and didn't sail 'round the Cape of Good Hope. You wanna throw a party the first time you get back? Fine. I fucking hate people who throw parties to celebrate their seventh circumnavigation of the world.
They had entered the penthouse loft of Edward Scott Brady, the boyishly handsome world traveler, former classical cello virtuoso and "retired entrepreneur," who was throwing a "Welcome Back Bash" to honor his return from his seventh trip around the globe. The girls, so many girls, dressed in pastel-colored wraps that bared shoulders and the swells of their cleavage, clacked their Louboutin heels up a SoHo staircase one muggy May evening.
We at Gawker have warned you previously that the New York Times Style section exists solely to… The New York Times Profiled the Brant Brothers Because the New York Times Hates You the Gatsbabies, three "preening prepsters" whose flamboyance is taking New York by storm, except that it's not taking New York by storm and I already hate them with the power of a thousand 747 engines. Not to be outdone by the New York Times' Ubermenschtastic profile of the Brant Brothers, the New York Observer is doing the world one better and introducing us to the world of.
