What Do Rich Kids Want to Do With Themselves, These Days? [Kids Today]


Vanity Fair asked that pressing question, and they all want to GIVE BACK and BE CREATIVE ARTISTS, even though artists are all leeches, obv.

Basically every paragraph of this "story" in support of a slideshow has at least one sentence that makes you want to punch the world in the mouth.

Whether it's expanding the family business or striking out independently, launching a career in the arts or plunging into philanthropy, the 38 heirs and heiresses to fabled names and consequential fortunes in this portfolio seem determined to make a contribution to society at large while carving out identities of their own.

And

Dasha Zhukova, who founded the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, in Moscow, and is editor in chief of Pop magazine. Why would the daughter of an oligarch who is dating an even bigger oligarch give up a life of leisure to work so hard? "I still have a life of leisure," she says. "I don't see it as sacrificing."

She is at least realistic enough to correct VF on the misconception that being editor in chief of POP magazine constitutes "hard word!"

Oh, and hey:

"I always thought, Will I go into the business or will I not go into the business?" says Jared Kushner, son of New Jersey real-estate magnate Charles Kushner, who spent nearly a year in prison on charges including tax evasion. "But when my father got arrested, I really didn't have a choice. I was the oldest son, and it was something that had to be done." Although he was in the process of getting graduate degrees in business and law, he found time to buy The New York Observer on the side, and as publisher has seen monthly traffic on the paper's Web site increase from 400,000 to 1.4 million.

Hah, and then he fired the cleaning lady. Giving back!

Though maybe we shouldn't make fun. Look how depressed Tatiana Santo Domingo, Bianca Brandolini d'Adda, Margherita Maccapani Missoni, and Alexia Niedzielski look! Being heiresses looks miserable.

How to find ideas to post new article in your blog    阅读原文»   It is true that sometimes being a blogger may face situations where I would personally like to call it your brain juices got dried up as you have pretty much ran out of topic to blog and you are in crisis as your readers are anxiously waiting for your new posts but you are unable to give in. That’s when you will probably come with excuses like I just posted last week although that post was more directly towards the newbies who stop themselves from making money but it’s still pretty much the same even though you consider yourself not a newbie.

You may be surprised that sometimes these ideas are just right in front of you but you are not observant enough to convert these ideas and turn it into your blog post.

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
