Emma Snowdon-Jones and Emily Brill in happier times
First there was Emily Brill’s much sought-after scathing Page 6 piece calling her a “society outcast”. Then there was Emily’s first rebuttal. Then there was her second rebuttal, in which she claimed to know the identity of the anonymous “Grande Dame” who threw her under the bus in the Page 6 piece. She profiled this Dame, and had the following to say about her short of actually naming her:
This ‘grande dame’ epitomizes a way of life for the ‘older’ set of women on the New York scene. Her dire financial situation-she’s quite vocal about it–was even the inspiration for the term “fauxialite” later this spring (I didn’t come up with it!). She, like many women I’ve met in this world, rises each morning with one goal in mind: to hold on. “But I’m press, dahhhling…” (press?) This sense of entitlement is one of the things I found most astonishing when I first started going out…
We’re not sure if Emily’s goals are any different. But our curiosity was piqued, and we emailed Emily to see if she would put a name to a profile. She wouldn’t. But a tipster did. The Grande Dame is none other than socialite Emma Snowdon-Jones:
“Emma Snowdon-Jones is the grand dame mentioned in the page six article on brill. Though decades older than her, they clearly are around the same stage in their social development”
It hasn’t been a great couple of weeks for Emma since her email gaffe in late August. Maybe October will be a better month?
Emily Brill thinks she’s all that. At a party, Emily was spotted speaking with my friend whom I politely went up to say hi to. In dark sunglasses (note, it was around midnight inside a night club - no sun in sight) she shrieked “Excuse me, Im talking to him”. Very mean social climber she is.

Another example of Emily Brill’s BS, this is a comment posted by one of her readers:
Post: These days, she reports the site gets 72,000 hits a day.
She has a completely distorted view of herself, her place and rank in the social scene, and her importance in the world. Unless you can advance her socially or get Patrick to take her picture she really is the rudest bitch I’ve ever seen. I have no use for her myself.
Seasme September 23, 2008 12:50pm
Speaking of pictures, I have never seen anyone pose the way she does. She thinks she’s in swan lake and this is not something you’d know unless you see it in person.
partypants September 23, 2008 1:17pm
Have you seen her do the ’shoulder roll’ thing? Sort of weird. It’s as if she is trying to make her collarbone pop out on purpose.
Seasme September 23, 2008 3:55pm
Yes! I’ve seen her do that. It’s part of her Swan Lake move. I tell you, she is one weird, sad little girl. It’s funny reading her blog because everyone who comments on her posts hate her.
partypants September 23, 2008 6:18pm
I almost feel bad reading her blog…I have been tempted sometimes to say something on there but I’m afraid she will know it’s me. But I like the commenting she has going on - some of the people are funny!
Seasme September 24, 2008 12:06am
I hope she reads our chain here. I hope she knows she is rude and a horrible person. This is fun. Did you see those horrifying pictures of her on Manhattan Society from last night’s event? They are almost scary. She should spend her parent’s money wisely, such as doing something with that hair.
Hahaha. Though I don’t who Partypants is, I bet know you in real life!
partypants September 24, 2008 8:26am
Ha! It’s a pretty small world, so maybe! I haven’t seen the pictures, but since she seemed to be practicing a new pose they are bound to be hilarious. Shoulders back, chest out is only ok if you are a peacock or a Marine, ladies.
I’ve always thought she would look better with her hair longer and in a simpler style. She seems determined to be Jackie Onassis, age 47, however. She’s just doomed to failure. I don’t know anyone who likes her.
Which one is she? They both look like sausages, but still frozen - no sizzle what so ever…

Emily is the one in patterned tights. She’s always the one in patterned tights. It should Emily “Patterned Tights” Brill.
Swifter September 24, 2008 12:01pm
Emily is a spoiled rich kid, and the Army is her only chance. If she can make it through basic training and maybe Officer Candidate School, and then spend three years in Afghanistan, then I’ll have some respect for her.
sparkle September 24, 2008 4:09pm
She looks like friggin’ Rainbow Brite in that picture. Does she really always wear patterned tights? She must really not have any friends or I would hope one of them would’ve told her those things make her legs look even more sausagelike than normal. How could one spend sooo much money on clothes and still look so tacky and cheap? It boggles the mind. Oh well, at least they found the one photo where she’s not wearing her sunglasses. At night.
partypants September 24, 2008 4:25pm
I don’t see her on a daily basis, but patterned tights seem to be a staple from what I HAVE seen. Maybe I just cross her path when she happens to have them on, though.
Patterned tights are NEVER a suitable option with anything, if you ask me. *sniff*
Seasme September 25, 2008 12:32am
That’s funny you mention about sunglasses at night because every time I see her at a club, she has sunglasses on. WHY???
