Sure,
Olivia Palermo is on the cover of
New York magazine. But
Isaiah Wilner's hotly anticipated article isn't really about her at all. Nor is it really about Valentine and Olga Rei, the Russian stepsiblings who have finally officially outed themselves as the creators of now-defunct website
Socialite Rank, which "wiped out what little dignity New York society had left." (Hilarious!) It's especially not about
Lydia Hearst, who had
complained to Socialite Rank that she'd been told the article would be about "my career as a model and entrepreneur and success and my handbag"—she is mentioned in the article only as a "nonstop e-mailer" of the site. And it's not about
Tinsley Mortimer, and it's not about Fabiola Beracasa. It's not even about unearthing the truth about Olivia's shameful, and possibly fake, letter ("there are four basic theories") to fellow socials, or whether or not Tinsley really elbowed her at that charity fashion show ("the alleged incident"). Turns out, it's all about the mastermind behind
Park Avenue Peerage, Socialite Rank's successor-site. He's a University of Illinois freshman named
James Kurisunkal. "I live in Urbana, near a farm... I'm like—I'm not even white!" It gets better.
