The curious affairs of women who marry for money.
Gold-diggers (women who marry for money and status): they’re much savvier and smarter than they lead on. How hypergamy, the seeking of money and higher status informs women.

So you’ve arrived in the big city from 'who-knows where,' Idaho and you want to meet the people that will plug you into that coveted social pipeline. Hate to break it to you, bright eyes, but that's much...
Fixx hangs out with John Varvatos.
There she is, just a few steps away from me, standing behind a wooden table with snifter glasses, various bottles of scotch, and a silly grin. I’m standing right in front of the scene stealing, porridge eating, bed...
Red Hook or be dammed. After party for BKFW.

The new breed at the National Arts Council.
The National Arts Club is a hell of an institution. Founded in 1898 by a veteran New York Times literary critic and housed in what once served as home to Governor Samuel Tilden, the private club attracts the best...
Catharine Malandrino gives you cameo.
“Could you please check with the store manager?” I asked as the door to Catherine Malandrino’s Soho boutique was firmly shut in my face. I forlornly pressed up to the glass and cried, “We’re press!” The male model/gatekeeper then...
Dossier Journal arrives at Tribeca Grand. And how…
Thursday night, and where dreams could be wagered and snow fell white, pure and delirious. All the tall and languid had retired to the Tribeca Grand Hotel for the evening. Dossier’s most recent magazine launch party was slowly assembling.
