After reading retrojunkies-stylish&fun! comment, I was reminded when one of those daughters order an evening dress in which I had to help her through the fitting process. She mentioned that it was going to be worn for someone's (assumely very important person) wedding. Let me describe the dress: it was a long, tight number with spaghetti straps, and the whole thing was covered with pink beads (or 'payet', in Indo). It was HEAVY as, I think it would have weight 10 kgs or something. My arms were aching just holding it for a mere 10 seconds. And it took her about 20 minutes to put that dress on. All the while, I thought to myself, "What happens if she has to go pee? How will she manage to roll that thing up just to sit in the toilet seat??" Oh, the 'pain' of being a Socialite ... :) i once worked for a fashion designer whose customers were mostly socialites or really, really rich daughter of Indonesian taipans.

For example, hermes bag yg harganya ratusan juta, ada jg yg pake the fakes ke gatheringnya socialite. Itu sih kira2 x yah, klo ketauan ga tau deh malunya semana.. And recently kayaknya I saw lots of new faces deh, yg masi muda2 banget. Either mereka are the daughters or mereka cuma temen2 the true socialite yg cuma ikut2an masuk ke acara2 n ke foto.. ada jg people yg diundang makan copule times sama young elites, then tiba2 they addressed themselves as socilite jg.. I don't wanna care bout these kind of ppl, but somehow i just wanna say "Get a real life!" Ga usa maksa deh buat sth that u can't afford, in the end kan loe sendiri yg bakal suffer. It's different with those who are trully rich. They use all the expensive thingy from head to toe bcause they really have to. They come to the gathering and bersosialisasi with other elites becasue they need to expand their business with their help and publication. Klo loe bilang the true socialite will never eat fried chicken in food court, kayaknya ga semua gitu deh.. mgkn klo yg nyonya2 iya kali ya, tp klo yg masih muda2 mah I think they did koq.. malah gua bilang klo org yg dr lahirnya uda bener2 have the gold spoon on their mouth, mereka lebih kelihatan "normal" and bisa blend sama org lain. klo ada yg sampe kasi amplop ke fotographernya, i'd pitty them deh. other ppl will think u are high class, but your attitude and manner koq low banget sih?! well, i really like this topic. i even bought several different magazines tt expose everything bout their lifestyle. never got bored though hehe..

1. capek dandannya [of course we're all love to "dandan" from head to toe, especially when there's special occasion like friends bday, a wedding of a family, or so, but what if we HAVE TO do it EVERYDAY for the sake of people we don't even know? like opening of a lame gallery, stranger's wedding or themed arisan....blah!]

2. capek belanjanya [hmm...2nd thought...blanjaa...blanjaa...haha... dan mereka pasti aja punya personal buyer siy, jadi tinggal tunjuk2...]

3. capek jaimnya [karena kami tidak jaim...haha...]

mungkin ini akan cocok untuk orang2 yang dari sananya sudah terlahir jaim dan memang live for something like this. but as our discussion concluded: obviously it’s not us, not our daily-dream-job especially on that “jaim” part.

but don’t get me wrong: it’s ok if we’re in a party and people taking our picts, put it in a magz, etc, but only if that’s happening because we love to come there for having a good time with our friends or family, not for some silly excuses like to climb some social stairs ^_^, capek jeng!

good information on the history part. i always wonder how was this socialite thingy started.

as for the indonesian socialite, hmm… i think it’s like another case of history… :P
a history that is related to our culture yang frankly to say… suka latah alias ikut-ikutan.. :) ada beberapa nama yang memang layak untuk disebut the true socialite.
tapi kayanya lebih banyak lagi yang akhirnya jatuh di kategori the great pretenders.

to be honest i appreciate more people who have money, know how to spend it while at the same time living a lifestyle that is different from ordinary people, instead of people who have the money and just spend it like crazy so that people would know how rich (s)he is, alias show off. and since jakarta is a city where image does count, akhirnya orang2 gak penting kaya gini nih, yang paling dominan.
