    Blonde hair, blue eyes, a sense of elitist entitlement, extreme narcissism, sexual attraction to men in positions of power and gaining positions based on connections instead of on literary merit. Pardon? --An intern at Vanity Fair you say?

    Part of the beauty of a trust fund has been the freedom to avoid such a man, those incredibly rich but invariably dull hedge funders and private equity guys, bean counters and bureaucrats, so available in New York and urged on all single girls


    Hear that single women of New York? You are either princesses or whores. It's just like Paris of 19th century. Except the writers suck.

    Bless her dear heart. Unlike capitalism - or, indeed, communism - this is a long-term strategy that will stay the course. I am reading and learning.

    It depresses me that at my advanced age the only option for sleeping with an older guy to get ahead in the media world is Sumner Redstone.

    Is "Floethe" pronounced like "Goethe" is? So, it's really pronounced "Flirta?"

    "Internet writers need trust funds."


    This is an idea we can get behind, yes?

    The Monte Carlo article has her moved away from being "seated next to a man safely accompanied by his wife." Perhaps Wolff brought his wife with him?

    We almost missed it. She was showing us, in the Slate article, who the villains are. We just need the guest list for that conference, and bingo, much of our work is done. Victoria, please send the list to tips@gawker.com


    Gotta love this: Monte Carlo as Vegas-By-The-Sea.

    She's pretty clearly describing the same dinner here [www.slate.com] as Wolff is describing here [www.vanityfair.com] Obviously that doesn't prove anything at all, but still. Her piece ends with her going after a different guy.

    "The next day, Misha, accompanied by eight CIA-trained bodyguards"


    Why would Israeli bodyguards need to be trained by the CIA?

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: Because this whole thing takes place inside a Bond movie, in which Misha is the American-educated jet-ski enthusiast (good), but the more astute reader can enjoy their early ominous visual cue (villain type villa). The implied development, one can imagine, is the actual extent of holding on to Misha, for her dear life.

    @Lars von Trite:


    Here's another question: Has there been a mention, ever, in any of the Bond movies or books, of the Mossad? Felix Leiter, CIA, all the time, but never an Oy Oy Seven?

    Wait - is that Nouriel Roubini I see as her Facebook friend?


    Gawker, is it possible you made this girl up? She seems entirely too perfect for you.
