On the surface, Rebecca Schiffman appears to be a typical privileged New York City kid: She went to private schools (Spence and Dalton), Cooper Union for art school—and at 26, lives with her parents on the Upper East Side.

She’s also a darkly attractive downtown hipster chick who stays out late at the Beatrice Inn, Black and White, Norwood House and Lit. Where she goes is usually determined by whether a friend of hers is DJ-ing, and if they are, she’ll be in the DJ booth drinking free bourbon and Ginger Ale.

Hate her yet?  read more »

Since Stephanie Wei graduated from Yale in 2005 and moved to New York, she’s worked at a law firm and an investment bank. The last time she scored her golf game regularly, her handicap was 0.9, and she guesses that these days she’d be a 4 or 5 from the men’s tees. Now she works at a public relations firm, a fine perch from which to make a stab at becoming a known quantity in Manhattan young society.

“I’m finding it,” she told me. “I’m 24 still, and this the first time I’ve ever had a break in my life. It’s always been go-go-go-go-go. I wanted to rule the world at, you know, 22.”  read more »

Continue to irritate and infuriate people as the years go by but figure out how to take it to the next level: Consciousness raising.

Get my head frozen right before I expire.

Spend a good seven hours with Madonna.

Once and for all, learn how to water-ski and hang-glide.

Stop taking Addies and Klonnies and get that morning wood back on a regular basis.

Get into a fight for a good reason—defending someone’s honor, stopping a crime in progress, anything that results in applause.

DR. SELMAN: What’s happening?

GEORGE: I sat around in my pajamas all day, e-mailing high-school friends. I have this illusion that I’m actually working, because I am typing and concentrating, but we were just talking nonsense. Whether or not Star Wars is in fact a masterpiece, you know, Beatles versus Stones. The summer of ’87 comes up a lot. Girls. This girl a friend of mine slept with recently—he admitted that this girl’s “kid had a kid.” We refer to him as the Granny Humper. What else? Bongo drums. So I got into a fight with one of them.  read more »
