Review: Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit

Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit by Ashley Mears
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

I am interested in books about business, and semi-serious ones about earning money. I’m also interested in reading about people who were able to earn money, as well as families that held onto it over many generations.

But it turns out I’m not at all interested in how rich people spend money stupidly when they have no clue what else to spend their money on. I’m sure this is a very good book and it is probably the only one out there tackling this subject, I just have too many books that interest me to care about finishing this. So I won’t give it any rating.

One thing I should point out, however, is that she says bottle service at tables started around 2003, but, at the risk of dating myself, I definitely remember it from earlier than that, I’d say at least 2000 onward. And I wasn’t in a trendy city or anything so I’m sure it existed well before then.
