The society pages, who do they think they are?

Ever look in a magazine or newspaper and they have this section full of pictures from parties? Anonymous people from boring looking parties where apparently all the people do is drink and smile at cameras, hoping to show up in those pages.

Except they're not anonymous, are they? They can't be; their names show up in the captions. They're not celebs, or even reality TV "stars", politicians, athletes, models, or sought after artists (be they musicians, painters, authors, or photographers). They're just... rich, maybe. Or related to somebody. Somebody else in those pictures, possibly.

Pages and pages of these people who show up at these endless string of parties. And, yay, if they can manage to wrangle an actual celebrity to show up!

Yawn. I mean literally. I didn't get enough sleep last night. Then again maybe it's just these endless pages of self-important people at pretentious parties. No offense.
