Oscar Batori: A Model Wrangler Who Needs A Beat Down

Oscar Batori is one of those poor blokes that you want to pity, but he makes it just so damn hard to. A 21 year-old former male model Adonis-type who use to live hand-to-mouth, subsisting largely on ramen noodles, is now living large as the new “image director” of Kiss and Fly, or so he thinks….

See, up to this point in his rather undistinguished and superficial existence, Oscar has managed to get pretty far with a combination sharp looks and a British accent, which we Americans so readily lap up. People are throwing money, clothes, bottles, and models his way free of charge. Despite no formal higher-education, no hard assets, or long-term gainful employment, he believes he is a success. “Look at me now”, he exclaimed to Allen Salkin, a writer who recently chronicled and stealthy roasted Oscar’s vapid existence in the Sunday Styles.

The reason why we pity Oscar, however, is that when reality hits for this young man, and the free clothes stop rolling in, the vodka dries up, and the party’s over, Oscar will have nothing save his looks. Well actually, that isn’t fair. You can also add avarice, gluttony, and hubris to his curriculae vitae. Mr. Batori eats like a King:

“And look at me, a couple years ago living in a model apartment eating ramen for dinner.” He used his steak knife to smear mashed potatoes onto a slice of filet before dragging it through the sauce on his plate and moving it into his mouth.

And shit talks his competition with an air of being self-actualized himself.

Mr. Batori said of the fellow promoter, whom he knows: “He’s like 29. Look at him, small time. Came to New York 10 years ago, still small time. Dragging models around.

Well Oscar, I got news for you. You’re small time. Still small time. You indeed drag around models. And you better enjoy your 15 minutes of fame, because its already been 5 minutes and counting…

Note: We asked DBTH, NYC nightlife guru extraordinaire, why he hadn’t profile this story yet, and his response was “I tried to, but kept throwing up on my keyboard.” Cajun Boy also opines.
