Suzy Weiss spoke with Amy Chozick about why famous women make us mad. Plus, she met the Manhattan socialite who calls her fellow millionaires 'cheater’ for avoiding New York taxes.
Famous women don't make me mad, but they sure make me happy not to be one because that seems like a helluva lotta work. I drive a reliable car, don't do social media, and am not worried about stuff shifting, sliding, rupturing, breaking, oozing, festering, dropping or otherwise getting unruly. I am my own influencer, I worked hard/happily for what I have, and trust my brain, gut, artistic outlook and intelligence. Did I mention I'm happy? If I didn't, I should have.
I don't care about these women. I think the bad feelings arise when one compares one's life, income, looks, you name it to theirs. The Bible (2 Corinthians) says only a fool compares themself to others. Stop being fools if you're unhappy about these women.
Bishop Barron spoke about things like this with JD Vance on his recent podcast. They both spoke about MIMETIC DESIRE. This is exactly the shtick of these fashionable New Yorkers; the desire to behave like and have what each other has. A kind of intellectual "keeping up with the Joneses" and so very apt.
I've got no issue with the current Mrs Bezos, but I wish the former one would quit throwing billions of dollars into NGOs. Take a page from Carnegie and build nice libraries in small towns or something like that.
And, in general, people "who are famous for being famous" should probably not assume that what they say is of interest or even intelligent.
So you wind up with people who can attract the spotlight, getting the spotlight, and running their mouthes spouting less-than-bright opinions.
That's the annoyance. Fine, they've got money. Good for them. Even better if they earned it.
But the ones who didn't earn the dough but dole it out "fashionably" are more than annoying, they're counterproductive...and are likely dupes suckered into believing the NGO/blob/uni-media hype combined with their desire to get attention.
Famous women do not make me mad. Its how society excuses what they do or do not do that makes me angry depending on which side of the aisle they are on, who actually got hurt, and what they did to other women in the process of climbing the ladder.
Re: the lawyers who were (quite rightly) told, "get a room": their real sin -- given the reputation their firm has for exceptionally long hours -- was that their private time wasn't billable. Had they been antitrust lawyers, they could have marked their time sheets "conference w/_______ re: horizontal mergers."

The City of All Shallows. (OK, parody of All Souls)

Speak, only, for yourself!
Couldn't care less about them.
Now, those who make them "famous;" them I despise. Deeply.

No one at the firm would have batted an eye.
