On How The Internet Can Turn Even The Best Man Into A Complete Jerk
[Newport at Night via deleteyourself]
How does someone who takes amazing photos, hangs out in cool places like Newport, and dates a complete package of a girl wind up being such a douche bag? Alas, this is what the internet does to people guys. I am glad that "deleteyourself" still reads us, even if this is what he thinks of our site: (and I hope his hoola hooping habits helps to release some of the obvious stress he must be under from all of this negativity he is spreading across the web).
Guest of a Guest
I follow the Guest of a Guest blog because it is the epitome of holier than thou New York fake elite. Literally every post makes me want to die. They even regularly post pictures of people at clubs who aren’t attractive and mock them for having to buy their way in. It’s a total shit-show. Today one of the dumb bitches who writes for the blog posted about discovering some mysterious graffiti that said “Neckface”. You dumb broad…are you going to post about how last night you saw a sticker that said “Andre the Giant Has A Posse” while walking from 1Oak to Kiss & Fly? [deleteyourself]

you should have made a correction and admitted you were wrong instead of changing the post.

In my experience, there is no such thing as "social elite" in New York City. It is rather a trap that some people start believing once they get invited or included in things that maybe they were not before. There are numerous social blogs, including several that have built their brand on being snarky, indifferent, aboveit all while poking fun in an obsessive matter at others. Not one who is looking to make enemies, but I think most may know where I am coming from. In fact, snark sells, many of the same people who might complain about being featured on Page 6 or Gawker have publicists pitching negative stories so that they make it one way or another. Some view coverage of any kind as a good thing. The foregoing being said, I have met and have conversations with several people behind Guest of a Guest and have always found them to be polite and courteous and not looking to hurt or undermine people for the sake of a story. Guest of a Guest has carved out a new social terrain by not making their brand about humiliating people. And in New York, that is kind of cool. Besides which, I have found Rachelle to be as polite and courteous as she is beautiful and she is at least, if not more photogenic than many of the so called social celebs who are more fregquently photographed. And props to her for being the best styled at Robert Wilson's Watermill Center event. She looked like a movie star, not a journalist. Anyway, internet feuds make for good traffic to your respective websites. But at the end of the day, we are all better off meditating than media hating. Ciao
