I am not going to get into politics because I\u2019d like this to be a space people can breathe a bit and enjoy the absurdity of life but I\u2019ve been hot on Wendi Deng\u2019s tail for years and noticed she didn\u2019t attend yesterday (or wasn\u2019t photographed, which isn\u2019t like her).\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the first Trump inaguriation, Wendi, Dasha Zhukova (who is married to Stavros Niarchos III) were guests of Ivanka\u2019s and hung out with Derek Blasberg (who was there with celebrity.land). There was not even a hint of that this time around and Wendi hasn\u2019t posted about Ivanka in ages. Either those women don\u2019t want to go near the inauguration (don\u2019t blame them) or the pieces on the board have shifted and there\u2019s a new HBIC.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I ate the Meghan and Harry story in Vanity Fair<\/a> right up because of the insight about Meghan. Harry is just kind of hanging around, it doesn\u2019t seem like there\u2019s a lot going on there. I texted Lainey after I read it and said, \u201cWithholding, self-editing, image-obsessed and effusive-to-ice cold – she IS a lifestyle editor.\u201d I worked in the industry for a long time and these are the common traits, particular for \u201cbrand builders.\u201d It takes a certain kind of ego to believe your life is so amazing that everyone wants it and that by sharing yourself, you are providing a service.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It also struck me how good it felt to read about them in a way that is gossipy but trustworthy. This is US legacy media with no anti-Meghan agenda. It\u2019s also not bursting with scandal; their Montecito neighbours don\u2019t like them, which is interesting to a high-level gossip but not exactly headline-grabbing. This story is a slow-burn and will be a piece we reference in the future..\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ice T\u2019s youngest daughter Chanel is adorable. And yes, twins! From this one photo you can tell she absolutely calls the shots. He\u2019s powerless.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are rumblings via DeuxMoi on Emily Ratajkowski and Austin Butler. No idea if it\u2019s true, but I\u2019d be into it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
