You might follow the scandal of the Russian step-siblings who were the force behind the nasty, bitchy, and previously shutted down socialiterank.com or subscribe to the more well-mannered blog of Illinois-based James Kurisunkal with the address parkavenuepeerage.wordpress.com (google it if you don’t know a single thing about those) which means that you’re already familiar with what they call ’society’ and prestigious zip codes of New York Upper East Side such as 10021, 10022, 10028, 10065, 10075, etc.
Or if you don’t, perhaps you might religiously follow the imitation version of the glamour and glitter of the Big Apple titled Gossip Girl, which means that you do understand the rules of the Upper East Side and got your daily dish of fake gossips.
Wait…. Gossip Girl? Come on! We’ve known that socialite do exist in our very own town long before the drama was first aired! Yet the drama is tres California!
Jakarta – a city that has uber-prestigious zip codes such as 10230, 10270, 12310, etc – needs something like Park Avenue Peerage or Aileen Mehle’s late Suzy section on W magazine. We understand that numbers of the city’s society magazines are not enough; those tiny columns in there would never fit the uber-busy social schedule of our very dazzling socialites who are always one step ahead from average Jakartans. Come on, there are tons of fabulous house parties, cocktails, arisans, celebrations, etc happening in the city; yet the previously racy blog of Jakarta’s socialites is now closed. Based on that presumption, we planned to launch our very own jakartasocial.wordpress.com so that you can read and post comments again, at last – don’t you miss the joy of that darling?
If you have the hunger and crave for the hottest, freshest, and juiciest gossips to be served daily on your plate, well ummmm… screen, we hope that by reading the posts on jakartasocial.wordpress.com one day will satisfy your hunger, plus complementary dessert.
But how, oh how, could we create such an interesting and dedicated blog without the stars? And yes, readers too. We need our very own stars – the fabulous girls (yes, 50s are still girls – for us), and guys, in town. And by reading this post on your screen, we want you to know that we – the force behind the nice and well-mannered Jakarta Social Blog – need you to participate by sending photos and reports of the parties, cocktails, trunk shows, trips, daily out and abouts, etc of Jakarta’s darlings to our email, jakartasocial@gmail.com. We plead you to support us.
Jakarta Social Blog guarantees that there will be no nasty, bitchy, and destructive posts ever. We will only post positive and constructive things. We – Jakarta’s set of high society – have to watch our manner, in it are our words and actions. We will work hard to make it a ‘too good to be true’ phenomenon. Our goal? Being a trusted source for the city’s social activity – just like parkavenuepeerage.wordpress.com - sans ruining someone’s image.
Upon request, we will post profile of Jakarta’s fabulous and prominent girls, and yes, guys too! Just send your biography (if you are in the circuit) or someone in the circuit that you know (friends, relatives, etc) to jakartasocial@gmail.com. We will also publish your social announcement upon request.
And the rule to post comments? Just one, do not write destructive and fictive things that can ruin someone’s image. You don’t want people to write and read bad things about you too right?
We need your participation and cooperation.
Much Love,
Jakarta Social Bloggers
