@kiki_astor: The ladies who lunch were a key part of New York’s social history. Even though they were social x-rays, being seen at the right spots, with the right people, was of capital importance. But of course it was also seen as a bit vacuous, hence why many people would deny doing it, after the fact. Old money, new money, they were all scandalized when Truman Capote published his explosive short story, La Cote Basque, 1965. #newyorkhistory #socialclimber #oldmoney #oldmoneylifestyle #gildedage #wealthywoman #wealthylifestyle #ladieswholunch #socialite #trumancapote #historytok

I wasn't and now it is what I aspire to be. It is only me and one other lady but taking a break on a Friday for food and white wine is pretty great.
