[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could be wrong, but to me she gives off the vibe of kind of uncool, desperate to be included rich lady. Like someone who was trying to buy her way in to the desired social circles. In the "cool" crowd, there's often a hierarchy/different groups. The actual "cool" people- who are often hip or interesting or bring something to the table, hence being invited to events for free or for entertainment/hip points. The medium level- i.e. somewhat cool and well liked, but also capable of purchasing their own dinner/ticket to the event (most people probably fall here). And then the final group which is dorky rich people who are willing to splash out any amount of cash to be included- this is a surprisingly large group as well. Candice strikes me as firmly being in the third category. And I suspect she knew her husband was going broke, but she also knew that the only reason she was ever invited to any Tracy Anderson event was only because she was splashing out thousands per month, not because she was actually accepted in the Tracy/Gwyneth Paltrow/Madonna NYC in group. And she knew if her husband stop paying out, there was NO WAY she would get to enter the cool circle. [/quote] She does not give off uncool vibes to me, at all. She gives off superficial rich girl vibes. She grew up rich. But not trump rich or hedge fund money rich. She was just normal UES with a Hamptons house rich. Went to the “right” schools, not super smart but well connected and pleasant. She married Brandon and tried to social climb with celebrities and billionaires and just, couldn’t? I mean she did successfully for 7ish years, but clearly they were living beyond their means and she didn’t want to give up her stuff and lifestyle and place in the pecking order which I get. Most of her true peer group from HS, the rich UES private school kids live lives similar to or less fancy than their parents. She seemed ok with that before social media - she was a learning specialist at one of the UES privates, worked, was obviously a rich girl but not a “celebrity” rich girl. I think she got so twisted in her weird bubble, trying to create a clothing line, posting on insta all the insane things, it warped their families priorities. I have a friend who knew her in undergrad and she was in the group of kids who were privilege and had endless college level money and access to parents credit cards, above the UMC kids from gross pointe, hung with the real rich kids. But that was back in the day when status was getting weekly manicures, wear citizens of humanity jeans and Ella moss tops, having a LV pouchette, and wearing jimmy Choos…. Not flying private, having 3k a month work outs and facials, two 9mm homes, paying for car service to the 60k per year per kid schools etc. [/quote] NYC is full of these desperate strivers. They aren’t especially pretty, smart, or cultured, but they have lots of ambition that manifests itself in social climbing pawned off as class. They aren’t worth all the ink, even when they drive their spouses to suicide. [/quote]
