C’est la triste réalité

long gone are the days when celebrities came here because it was all under the radar - maybe the pendulum will start to swing back if enough people feel like she does....

She's pretty awful and so much a part of the faux-celeb, self important look-at-me problem.

But I'm so happy that I was there for NYE ONCE, in 2001 (before it was this crazy, but even then, I knew I was done), and I never have to do it again.

Nice for Villa owners who get to double their high season and triple their low season rates

When Wendy & I had The Normandie (2007 - 2017), we came to see in the “Festive Season” guests who were paparazzi hired by little known, up-&-coming “stars” and by others whose careers were fading. They were paid to get “candid” shots of their clients for distribution / sale to magazines & social media sites . . . linking them to the holidays‘ style & class of the SBH celebrity world.

all of which makes her assessment even more credible

 

[Risa]

Agree

 

[PeterLynn]

She complains that everyone is worrying about being at the wrong party. Maybe she consistently found herself at said parties?

I don't consider this Bethany lady a celeb. there were lots of celebs here around that time I was not here as I avoid that time of year mostly because of the driving headaches.

 

[Risa]

I see her as a "faux-celeb" as I said above. A "bravolebrity" if you will.
I blame Andy Cohen for promoting class(less) people into the public eye.

For us non-Instagram folks. "Letter..."

Regarding being trapped, I loved this "and the influencers at Le Toiny start to repeat their outfits"

 

[Risa]

Ok, now the instagram algorithm is going to bombard me with these. https://besskalb.substack.com/p/letter-from-a-billionaire-stranded

 

[Risa]

Instagram is going crazy with it now.

if you have a problem with St. Barth, consider the possibility that you might be the problem. Or else, it was just so much better in 2023. Or 2007. Or 1996. Or 1974.
