Subsidized Beachside Villas For Artists

Socialite Boykin Curry has found a suitably high-class developer for the holiday complex he and his arty friends have planned in the Dominican Republic. Aman Resorts, which operates exclusive hotels in exotic locations such as Bora Bora, will build two hotels on the plot. Which will help pay for a local school, an organic farm, and artists' villas. Awesome idea! (Just like Soho House was supposed to be a haven for New York's creatives, until the club became addicted to membership fees from bankers and publicists.) While Aman is at work, Curry should get them to upgrade the brothel on the adjacent property. How about a classy spa, with special massages?

'The Atlantic' Attempts A New York Party, Bombs


Last night, the D.C.-based Atlantic magazine celebrated 150 years of thought at the Kimmel Center Loading Dock at N.Y.U. In a striking display of awful judgment, the VIPs (Arianna Huffington, Moby, the Mayor) were allowed (forced) to mingle on stage. The poors sat in chairs in the auditorium and watched. Jared Kushner was either wryly funny or a dick. Porn queen Robyn Bird went unrecognized by Robert DeNiro and Boykin Curry claimed he doesn't rent his island paradise to whores. God, 'Ad Age' even turned against local goddess Patti Smith. Richard Blakeley was there to tell us what social apartheid looks like. That's satirist P.J. O'Rourke trashing the party from the stage, by the way. Welcome to the social disaster of the season!

Intellectual Paradise Becomes Harlot Convention!

Oh, there was so much hubbub when Boykin Curry and Celerie Kemble, the most adorable rich people in town, hatched their scheme for a smarty-pants playground in the Dominican Republic! (Weirdo New Yorker summary here.) Moby was in on the deal—and so was Alex von Furstenberg! Now it seems that the golf course on the still unfinished little utopia is being rented out to whores? The brothel next door apparently held a golf tournament on the grounds of the utopia. Boykin and Celerie better hope the National Organization For Women doesn't go to the D.R. because they will flip their wigs over this.
