New Yorkers will soon start eating the rich

or so the rich fear.

Here is a link to an article about a cocktail party where the rich share their fears of a DeBlasio mayoralty. http://gothamist.com/2013/10/09/rich_new_yorkers_yearn_for_four_mor.php

What I really liked about the article was the names. Can you believe it that some socialite really has the name Muffie Potter Aston? At first I thought the article was satire because the names were so over-the-top. No, it's for real. HaHa.

No shit. Most unfortunate name ever. I could barely bring myself to use it.

She was very nice though, and seemed well-adjusted as I recall!
