Are you the same poster who mentioned the same caterer being used for the gala as for the house party? Either way, I like the way you (singular or plural) think. |

Spring valley is a lovely neighborhood. I love taking walks there. The munitions burial situation scares me enough that I would not buy a house there |

| The only elite in DC are political and media. Which often has nothing at all to do with money. Tony Fauci makes ~ 350/year and he's likely the highest paid civil servant in DC. That's not "society" money. Big Law associates often earn that in their 4th-5th year out of law school. |

My grandmother was an immigrant home daycare provider who never quite learned to write the language of the country she immigrated to. Yet, I'd much rather have a conversation with the PP whose grandmother mixed with the elite, than with anyone who writes "we were like omg" or ends a written sentence with 'or whatever." |

I actually did not get that vibe at all from the poster, she was sharing from her experience and noting how the real deal differed from this fiasco. She was also expressing that someone she knew who had passed, was as she said, lovely. I see very little ego in that honestly. |

Society and money are very different things. |

| It has now been over two weeks since the party, so hopefully the guests & caterers are now safely out of quarantine, and anyone who tested positive is now recovering. This article has made us more cautious about groups outside, |

She had quite a past! |

At the most generous, then, she was trying to subtly let us know that she and her family were “the real deal”. But she posted 4 things about her grandmother on this thread. Three of them pretty much right in a row. When no one was asking. |

And hopefully, the same outcome for all the other people they may infected before they knew they had been exposed. And the people those people may have infected. Etc. |

old DC society, staring with Camelot & Kennedy was such that it was a main place for making political and diplomatic connections at people's houses who threw classy cocktail and dinner parties. Think of the Graham family hosting a cocktail hour in the 1960s, and the guests that were invited- it included wealthy and notable Washingtonians who did lots of charity work, but also politicians & diplomats (who were in need of hosts like Graham to connect them) Actually, the grandparents of Ourisman and Taylor would be two examples of those attendees.
I think that scene gave way to political fundraising/bundling in the late 90s during Clinton, and by the end of Bush II it was all about brining in that PAC money. I'd imagine this scene has re-materialized in some form at the Trump hotel, lord only knows. |

I was only trying to point out what actual “society” is vs these posers. My other grandmother was a farm wife during the depression in the Midwest, so definitely completely different. She died before I was born, and my grandfather on that side when I was young so we were not close. I don’t “name drop” at all irl I don’t think anyone I know casually knows anything about my family. I don’t talk about them and am not at all ostentatious and a blabbermouth.
Tbh, I think my grandmother and Mrs. Harriman became friends because they were both smart and savvy women who married “up” several times, and they were both in the dc social scene at the same time. I met her several times and she taught me that asparagus is acceptable to be eaten with your fingers. |

Yes. Hopefully those wealthy party-goers cleaned their own houses and made their own meals for two weeks so as not to make anyone else sick, and their teenage kids didn't go out and hang with other teenage kids. Etc. Not likely. |
