Socialites: can\u2019t live with \u2018em, can\u2019t live\u2026with them, really.<\/p>\n

But not this week! This week we take a detour from our normal agenda of bringing you events normal, fun-loving, reasonable-incomed people would enjoy to inform you about a number of high-profile exlcusive events for socialites you will have a hard time to getting into outright but may find self-satisfied consolation in crashing, sneaking into, ordering delivery caviar for they didn\u2019t order, ect.<\/p>\n

Thus, this week\u2019s can\u2019t miss socialite rendevouses, complete with event details and crashing tips.<\/p>\n

\"Socialite<\/p>\n

1. David Yurman Annual Rooftop Soiree<\/strong>
\nTuesday, July 30, 6:30pm<\/p>\n

A soiree<\/em>? Really? As a sometime socialite poser\u2014socialoser?\u2014I have attended balls, formals, moonlight plaza dinners and preprandial bourbon masquerades, but never ever a soiree<\/em>. Even the location, 24 Vestry St., sounds ultra fancy. It\u2019s not clear what actually is going down at the soiree besides the obvious socialiteizing, namely because there is no description of it on the event page<\/a>, and the official event link turns up blank. So, basically, if you have to ask what the event is, you probably aren\u2019t cool enough to go.<\/p>\n

Crashing tip:<\/strong> This one\u2019s easy. It\u2019s a rooftop party for God\u2019s sake, which means it\u2019s more or less in a public space. Fire escape will do fine, or, really, just take the elevator.<\/p>\n

2. A \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d-Inspired Dinner Dance at Hyde Hall<\/strong>
\nSaturday, August 3<\/p>\n

\"Downton<\/p>\n

Hahahahaha. This event is actually mind blowing if you think about it. \u201cA \u2018Downton Abbey\u2019-Inspired Dinner Dance at Hyde Hall\u201d<\/a> is doubtlessly motivated by some negligible percentage of the actual dancing they do in the show\u2014which by the way you can find in any number of other Euorpean historical media each year, not to mention they could have made the connection more subtle, calling it something like \u201cGreat Waltz during the Great War Dinner Dance at Hyde Hall\u201d\u2014and much more motivated by the insaaane drama and awkward circumlocutious sex discussions. It\u2019s not clear if they realize the latter, bulk of the motivation, and even less clear if they realize that the Downton Abbey level drama is exactly what some of the guests crave as daily fuel for their lives, and what some guests will actually seek to create at the dinner dance, whether it take the form of coitusdeath, engagement ruining, or the like.<\/p>\n

Crashing tip:<\/strong> Dress up so farcically fancy\u2014we\u2019re talking coat tails, monocle, at least 7 pieces of hand jewelry\u2014that anybody would be just so teerrribly embarrassed to turn you away.<\/p>\n

3. Hedge Funds Care Young Professionals Summer Benefit<\/strong>
\nSaturday, August 3<\/p>\n

Indeed. This event illustrates one of the fundamental laws of socialite events: if you and at least one other person are giving away a lot of money to a cause, you\u2019d better not miss a chance to throw a party. So it is with Hedge Funds Care, who not only don\u2019t give money away anonymously, not only don\u2019t give away money quietly, not only don\u2019t put the fact that they actually probably care in their event title, not only don\u2019t give away money according to the the causes they feel based on their own first hand experiences and knowledge would make the best impact, but instead join their cohort in an evening of \u201cdecadent summer bites, refreshing sips, dancing, and a silent auction with luxury items benefiting Hedge Funds Care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crashing tip:<\/strong> Don\u2019t crash this. Because once you\u2019re in, you\u2019d wonder why you ever expended so much energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
