Snooty site seeks sybaritic sycophants
By adamg - 7/7/10 - 10:13 pm
Some Web site for rich people is looking for somebody "already entrenched in the luxury lifestyle in the town" to churn out 25 to 30 blog posts a month about "the luxury lifestyle" in Boston. Pay isn't mentioned (that would be crass), but you will get the "opportunity to make a ton of high-end contacts."

Sounds like the perfect opportunity
for Clark Rockefeller.
I'm extremely entrenched
Hmm, my cup of Easy Mac and my pajama pants and I are wondering how far we could get in the process before it was determined that my definition of luxury and these asshats' might not be the same. Could prove entertaining. Plus I could write my own damn blog about it and make like 3 cents per day. Ooh, possibilities...
your cup of easy mac?
we had a hole in the wall of a granite quarry, where we'd get blasted out of bed every morning by the explosives planted by the the quarriers! Now that's luxury!
You lived in that quarry?
My family worked in that quarry! We were the shovels. We had no arms, no legs - couldn't afford 'em. We were coal-mining stumps. (h/t Richard Jeni)
You were the shovels?
Now that is luxury. We couldn't afford to be the shovels. We were the wedges that got driven in with great hammers. I hear the shovels got every Sunday off. You know what our day off was? Every Sunday they let us turn around for a day and use our heads on the rock side instead of the hammer side, as long as we promised to think of God the whole time.
See, now...
Isn't just this thread alone more entertaining than reading about luxury trenches or whatever?
huh?
The ideal candidate is already entrenched in the luxury lifestyle in the town, knows who the players are
The perks: Invites to events, openings, restaurants, etc. Opportunity to make a ton of high-end contacts
If you're already entrenched in the luxury lifestyle and know who the players are, why would you need invites and "high-end contacts"?
they only pay $400-$500 a
they only pay $400-$500 a month...not quite enough to maintain a "luxury lifestyle"
We already have The Improper Bostonian
to cater to that 'lifestyle'.
Not Really
Improper is more Bell in Hand than Algonquin Club.
Exactly
And the rich already have their own publications, like Oppression Aficionado, and Brahmin Life.
Hyde Park is a yuppie-free zone
Luxury living is like sex; if you need to be coached there's something wrong with you.
