Happy first Monday of October, which vies with September as my favorite month, at least at the moment. There is nothing like fall in New York. The air finally changes, everyone comes back to life, and the city feels like itself again.
I spent this morning giving 21 vials of blood at a Quest in Chinatown, so you know I’m really getting a jump on Q4. Trying to end out this year as healthy as possible and that means sucking the life force out of me to make sure there is nothing wrong, apparently.
Here’s the monthly list for you of the things that got everyone’s traps yapping the most in September. My rule for this list was pretty crude: if I heard the same thing three times from people who do not know each other, it went on. Did the story start showing up in conversations with people who had no professional reason to care about it? Did it beat out all the other dumb stuff people normally talk about over steak frites at a martini lunch these days? Depends on your lunch companions, I suppose.
Today we will be talking about everything from Sotheby’s “Art of Divorce” panel in Geneva tomorrow (which you all had a lot of opinions about on the readrps Instagram account), to whether Maxime’s on the Upper East Side is bringing fun back to the private club scene (that one was unexpected). Also on the list is Vanity Fair’s Next Gen list, released today, Grindr’s very busy press tour, the meaning behind the saying on the matchboxes at People’s, whether Paris Fashion Week has gone plebeian, and more. We also have an exhaustive list of all 13 fashion moments Cait Bailey Carbone wore to both her Sicilian wedding and her New York reception—something you won’t find anywhere else. Plus an opportunity on October 15th for five paid RPS subscribers in the West Palm Beach/Palm Beach area. All of this and more, after the jump.
