High Society in The City

How amusing that Tinsley Mortimer, New York society princess, would choose now to launch her reality show; 'High Society' in the States.
Perhaps the global allure and the frequent appearance of rumoured arch enemy Olivia Palermo in glossy fashion pages and gossip magazines was too much for the Virginia bred socialite.
According to various New York newspapers and gossip sites, including the much feared now defunct Socialite Rank, which did exactly as its title suggests by ranking socialites on beauty, connection to high fashion, press appearances, being committed for charities or the right events and more importantly, status.
Olivia, then 20 years old, was close to toppling Tinsley from her glided perch by being front row at all the important shows, being beautiful and 'wide eyed'. There wasn't room for the both of them so when SR managed to get their hands on an email being circulated by Palermo in which she begged for forgiveness and friendship, ' a spot on a charity committee and eventually a friendly hello at the Waverley Inn' put the rumour mill into overdrive.
She was attacked and vilified as a poor little status hungry socialite.
Fast forward three years and look at Olivia now; a starring role on The City in which she shows New York that the shy ingenue that once was has gone and its place is a bitchy ruthless iron fist in the external form of a screamingly chic beautiful woman with a sweet smile to boot.
As print dies out and reality TV takes over, put aside that Grandmama said a lady should only be in the newspapers twice in her life, that Mummy said a lady must continously be in Vogue and Page 6, reality TV is the medium for which these celebrities, in their own circles, can finally say they have made it.

According to the NY Post, Tinsley recently divorced from ex-husband Topper Mortimer after falling for a European hedge fund manager, hopefully that is not just the fodder she has to feed the shock tatic hungry, scathing public.
