"They invite their friends over to get drips and shots from the nurse that they know on a first-name basis because they need all of their extra fluids, vitamins, pokes, prods, and jostles so that they can keep their corporeal flesh animated and supple past the point of decay. They bought their daughter's Maseratis with giant bows on them for their 16th birthday as if that is in any way normal."
"The fight starts as the one between Amanda and Dorit, where Amanda is talking about how she was verbally accosted. Amanda starts by pulling up Google Gemini and asking it what accosted means and then reading out the definition, which was cornier than Carol Channing's shit. (That joke is for old queens only.) Everyone rolls their eyes, and Amanda looks at them in disbelief."
"Well, it was certainly one of the most active. There was so much going on that Jen Tilly, who is really every single one of us, moved her chair from the far end so she could sit next to the action and watch it unfold as if an episode of Rich Women Doing Things was happening in front of her because it was."
Rich women convene for cosmetic drips and shots administered by a familiar nurse to maintain youthfulness and bodily vitality. They lavishly gift a daughter a Maserati with a giant bow for her 16th birthday and inspect eccentric wedding venues featuring scrubby trees and mohawked alpacas. Never-to-be-ex-husbands announce DJ ambitions and provoke uproarious laughter. A joint birthday dinner escalates into a highly active fight that attracts onlookers. The central conflict pits Amanda against Dorit, with Amanda reading an online definition of "accosted" and implying she was relaying Kyle's words, generating disbelief and eye-rolling from the group.
