Times Writer Throws a Pity Party
Alex Kuczynski, writing in the Times' T magazine, says that swanky book parties paid for by rich friends are the new status symbol. I can't argue with that.
But I do take exception to the self-pitying way she describes the soiree for her book Beauty Junkies, about the plastic surgery craze. "I had a book party last year at '21' Club, and I paid for it, and it sure was expensive, and only about 90 people came, and no one wrote a single peep about it," she pouts.
Not a single peep, Alex? Are you sure about that?
As for having to foot the bill, don't feel too bad for Kuczynski: Her husband is hella-rich investment banker Charles Stevenson. I'm thinking maybe he chipped in.
