Cuilin To be in that society sounds exhausting!!!! Also if you were a performer can you imagine how distracting it would be with everybody just showing up and leaving whenever. And owning a house in Manhattan big enough to have a ballroom is hard to imagine today. 1mo
mcctrish @Cuilin it‘s almost exhausting to read about society - did Archer and #winoforever ‘s cousin have a relationship? 1mo

Ruthiella It does sound exhausting and performative. I read this years ago and saw the movie when it came out. I remember the basic outline of the plot but none of these details. 1mo
JacqMac It doesn‘t just sound exhausting, but also uncomfortable. 1mo
JenlovesJT47 Yay I‘m caught up! 1mo
Bookwormjillk New flex is hosting a ball but going to the opera instead of helping my staff get ready 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk But only, like, one scene of the opera. 1mo
ElizaMarie @Cullin that‘s what I was thinking too- they are horrible audience members! 1mo
julieclair @Cuilin @ElizaMarie It seems like the opera was only an excuse to see and be seen, and then gossip about whom you saw and who saw you. So disrespectful to the performers. But I don‘t think these people worried much about disrespecting people who were “beneath” them. 1mo
Cuilin @julieclair @ElizaMarie yes, they probably see performers as some form of servant existing to cater to them. Ugh 1mo
