Victoria Floethe Thinks Everyone In Park Slope is All Judgey-n-Shit
Ok, really: up until a few moments ago I had no fucking clue who Victoria Floethe is. And even now, after reading about her in Gawker (she's a snooty, self-anointed femme fatale, trust fund kid having an affair with Michael Wolfe), I still don't really give a shit about her. BUT, she wrote this article recently for the Spectator in the UK, telling her side of the "I never set out to ruin this person's life...I'm the victim here story" (or whatever), and she drops this little tasty nugget about Park Slope:
"But something's changed in New York. I've noticed this among my many friends who have moved to Park Slope in family-oriented Brooklyn - they've come to regard Manhattan as the borough of dubious characters. If you can afford to live in Manhattan you must be up to no good. Possibly it's the long descent into recession that has created a new culture of opprobrium - nobody these days should be having much fun."
a. Just had to look up "opprobrium" (something that brings disgrace, for other morons like me).
b. WTF does this even mean? Everyone knows that there are a shitload of dubious characters in Park Slope, and also, isn't it MORE expensive to live here than in nyc these days??
c. If you look up "funz" in the diktionary, you pretty much see a pic of Park Slope, BK! Between Norma, making fun of the Food Coop, and getting drunk EVERY weekend at brunch at Scottaditto, I've never had this much fucking fun in my entire life. It's like, you walk down the street here, and fun smacks you up right in your fucking face! HELLO! Victoria!? Anybody home??? It's the fun police!
Also, newsflash, Victoria: NO ONE in Park Slope judges anyone else!?
Anyway, I was mostly excited by this whole incident b/c Gawker hasn't mentioned Park Slope in EONS. So, now we're kinda back on the map, bitches!
(via Gawker, obvs)
