One of Your Mama's little buddies, a fine gentleman in lower Manhattan whom we'll call Mister Glass, sent us a link this morning to a genius post on the insanely sassy and New York centric blog Gawker. The high-larious post about high brow real estate brokerage Brown Harris Stevens (with luxe outposts in New York, the Hamptons, and Palm Beach, natch), reveals how the brokerage employs a coterie of well bred and well married agents to pull in the big bizness of the rich and filthy rich in some of the swankiest zip codes on the east coast. Here's a sample of one agent's bio:
Arabella Green Buckworth: "Arabella loves travel, literature, languages, art, classical music, and chess. She is married to an Australian philanthropist, and is step-mother to four handsome English gentlemen."
That's really her bio children. Really! Chess! That's just gorgeous.
Have fun.

ReplyDeleteif they were that rich & well-bred they wouldn't be slogging their asses selling real estate ...
ReplyDeleteif your husband is a 'philanthropist' you don't need to work! wives of philanthropists are on charity commitees or having lunch with their girlfriends at nello! not showing ppl around apartments on the upper west side.
I heart Gawker. How about a reality show with this bunch,Mama? Someone get Bravo on the telephone with a pitch.
ReplyDeleteThat would be incredible!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what their resume's look like!
The Gawker plus our great Mama would be one tee-rific reality show. Sigh....I wish.
ReplyDeleteOh Mama, who do we know over at Bravo. That would be a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Please even Prince Charles who is a billionaire sells a line of organic foods.They all sell something!
ReplyDeletecharles is not a billionaire..
ReplyDeletecharles is not a billionaire..
ReplyDeletePrince Charles is a keen gardener & has an interest in organic foods / produce so it's more out of interest.
ReplyDeleteHis food business [Duchy Originals] has like 200 products but ALL PROFITS go to his CHARITY - so technically this could be classed as charity work.
The foods amazing.

"charles is not a billionaire"
ReplyDeleteTechnically his family is ... the Royal Art Collection is worth $20 Billion alone but as it's the property of the reigning monarch then it can't be counted as the Queens personal wealth in rich lists b/c obviously it will be Charles' then Williams & so on.
The Queens personal stamp collection is worth $200M alone which is just insane!
Then the Sovereign also owns the Crown Estate which is worth $14 Billion - she just doesn't get the $2 Billion annual profits or has the right to sell it. All profits now go to the exchequer.
the rich that will never go broke no matter what !!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe royals are nothing more than glorified wellfare cases. It kills me that they complain about the press, when thier sole job is to be a public figure head.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the picture of little harry dressed like a nazi (the very people who bombed the shit out of his country). smooth harry real fuck'n smooth. If I could sum up the royals with one word.... "LOOSERS". oh and that includes that tramp Diana.
I ache for their pretension. Am I naïve, or are these pompous missives actually landing contacts? Targeted demographics to this housing market are, in my belief, humble and/or sensitive to their fortunate positions. Can’t rationalize who would buy into such arrogant and shallow team profiles.
ReplyDeleteBack to crocheting for The Mama.
I believe Mama said "A Little Cup of Fun" not a bucket full of class hatred.
ReplyDeleteI have a pink Rolls Royce,a driver,and a fucking job!
ReplyDeleteLP ...
ReplyDeleteM-e-d-i-c-a-t-i-o-n.
Rock on.
what year your rolls ? a 78 ?

ReplyDeleteDUMBASS! The British Royal Family are technically German. The name Windsor has only been in use since 1917 - after WWI they had to change it from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha or in german Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha to Windsor. I suggest instead of criticising peoples costume choices you go & take a history class, would obviously be of more use to you then on internet blogs you don't end up sounding dumb as fuck.
the royals are billionaires many times over, they under report their wealth.
ReplyDeleteMy Rolls is a vintage 1965 model with a custom license plate "FAB 1".I was a spy for the British Govt.now I work for International Rescue.You can google me too.
ReplyDeleteYes well bred and well married,and drinking before lunch!
ReplyDeleteMama, come back! It's nearly 1:30 in the afternoon and the natives have obviously been restless on the comments...
ReplyDelete"if your husband is a 'philanthropist' you don't need to work! wives of philanthropists are on charity commitees or having lunch with their girlfriends at nello! not showing ppl around apartments on the upper west side."
ReplyDeleteIn two words....
