Hotel du Cap Has Rules for the Influencer Photo Shoot Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today we’re taking a little break from the private club world and going to the South of France, where one of the most photographed hotels on earth has been steadily rewriting the rules around taking pictures on the property. The reason involves everything from outfit changes to irritated regulars and non-hotel guests spending hours using the property as their own photo set. Writer Christina Jelski, who follows RPS on Instagram, was the one who alerted me to just how specific Hotel du Cap’s photo
London’s Maison Estelle Will Take Over NYC’s Former Limelight Building (opens the original)

It looks like Maison Estelle finally has a New York address.I know I am giving away the reveal in the headline. Normally I would make you wait until after the jump, but there is enough going on here that I figured I could afford to spoil it. There’s Maison Estelle’s own liquor-license lawyers confirming the location, the very interesting sequence of events that led them to this particular building, and a brand-new New York liquor-license category for for-profit private members’ clubs that only t

I was supposed to be here meeting with someone and am instead writing this for you all on a very nice velvet settee so you get the story in time. (The last time I was here was for the club’s official opening in November, with an ex-boyfriend and most of New York. We largely ignored the raw bar and light-up dance floor in favor of each other, to the point that our enthusiasm near the pool table may have tes
Is It the Season of the Scammer? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scammers seem to be omnipresent, don’t they? People can’t seem to get enough of them. My editors always want me to write about them, television series about them always seem to do well, and people love to talk about them. But for some reason, over the past couple of months, and especially the past few weeks, they seem to be everywhere. Scammers and the wealthy go hand in hand. Where there is wealth, there is a scam to be had. After all, scamming the lower middle class isn’t really all that inter
