Peasants need not apply- Welcome to the Snob Mob.

In December Estreich was publicly lampooned when gossip Web site Guest of a Guest spotted him at the Native Society’s Classic Car Club event and immediately zeroed in on him wearing a baby blue turtleneck and a sports coat, holding a highball glass aloft as if he were Patrick Bateman at the Odeon.

Guest of a Pest? I think I’ve heard of them. Aren’t they that party crasher site that takes copious pictures of people for a fee and calls it journalism and then has you come along and tag your thumb print across it? Ollie’ – you let Rachelle make fun of you? Now that’s a spade calling a spade or something like that. Ollie- please fill up my glass, you’re so wretched when you’re not drinking, never mind how wretched I get. Psst- there’s a paparazzo looking at us now, hide the moonshine now quick Ollie, now!

Ollie- psst can I please become a member of your fan club?

When Estreich was asked about the barriers to joining his society, he told a reporter from the site: “It’s really hard to get in because you have to be evaluated. You have to have the native sensibility. You have to have an understanding of culture, cars, fashion, people. It’s kind of, like, it’s a mentality.”

1/Culture- name dropping and false status- click – sounds like me.

2/Cars- Burn and crash and have daddy buy me a new one. Well, the crashing part sounds like me- so far so good Ollie.’

3/Fashion- darling’ I am a fashionista down to my red bowtie. See, I am wearing it now. Unlike yours Ollie, mine’s vintage and only cost me a nickel at the op shop- but who cares?

4/People? Ollie- darling, I just love people- especially rich, successful and beautiful people. My favorite people include movie stars, crack whores, coke whores, and socialites. Does that put me anywhere near the ballpark?

But kids, not everyone loves the press (if you can believe that).

“If it was up to me, I wouldn’t have had any press. It was quite obnoxious,” says site administrator Stuart Orenstein, a real estate developer. “I don’t think you start an organization and start running your mouth off.”

Hmm- that’s funny- Stuart didn’t mind me writing this article, but gosh he made my head spin, he kept cursing at me and telling me to take out the word ‘crack whore‘ out of the article. Really Stuart, it would have been a better article if you let me keep it in.

But where money burns, more money folly will follow:

And, in any case, dropouts were quickly replaced by others eager to be part of such an exclusive enterprise. Members such as Anne de la Mothe Karoubi, a 24-year-old Trinity grad who recently moved back to the city after living in Los Angeles, were undeterred. “People are trying to peg us as elitist schmucks, but that’s not how I see it at all,” she says. “My experience has been so positive and beneficial.”

Anne de large Mouthfull– you are completely correct- let’s not be deterred by gobs of money- pass me another bottle of moonshine dear. Oh by the way, can you explain to me again why your career in Hollywood didn’t quite take off?

  1. Who ever wrote this is probably neither American nor Western European. Let’s face it, we are not all the same nor equal. That would be communist and boring. I think today’s society is much like that of yesterday’s and our grandparent’s parents. A tiger doesn’t change its stripes. It just hides in different bush to survive.

  2. this website is sooooo bad, so poorly written. the only reason i even look at it is that that social climbing moron, chris, added me on facebook and i get the updates.

  3. Aren’t socialites in New York traditionally WASPy New Yorkers with Limited “Allowed” transplants from either Boston, Philidelphia, Washington D.C. And wealthy Western European Aristocracy???

    I am a bit confused by this Nouveau article????
    Doesn’t seem to make any sense.
