Comments on: It must be you… http://www.rethinkingmarkets.org/2008/04/01/it-must-be-you.html Economic Sociology from the Ground Up Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:24:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ktel http://www.rethinkingmarkets.org/2008/04/01/it-must-be-you.html#comment-93 ktel Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:38:08 +0000 http://rethinkingmarkets.org/2008/04/01/it-must-be-you.html#comment-93 I discovered that I was putting an additional "e" in Bethenny's name. She's a bit grabby, though, so I think she wouldn't mind. I agree that an entire ktel post should be devoted to RHONYC. I will commence to work on it. I might even be able to work in "fixie of hipsters" in a discussion of that time the Countess went downtown (that sounds wrong) to see da indie rock show with her headband-adorned niece. I kept hoping it would turn all "After Hours" on her, but no. I discovered that I was putting an additional “e” in Bethenny’s name. She’s a bit grabby, though, so I think she wouldn’t mind.

Let's keep it where it should be: to blame straight women in California who can't find love for their own lack of success.

But this conversation is now way beyond me. 'Fixie of hipsters,' though, is something I'm definitely going to be weaving in somewhere. Hey, I’m a reader, too.

Maybe with "when I saw Bethenney on 'Real Housewives of NYC'". I'm not a big watcher of the show, though of course I get the premise. Educate me. Living in New York has made me feel something icky, and my chair put her finger on it when she noted that this is a place where you are pushed to think of yourself as relatively poor, always needing more money. It makes me ick. JL - we treat markets here like Bourdieu treats capital: real estate markets, financial markets, dating markets, cultural markets. 'Peter's readership' is something like the 3 of you in this comment thread...This isn't the show with the person who deals with 30 and 40something men who are <a href="http://www.kottke.org/remainder/07/10/14210.html" rel="nofollow">hipster</a> wannabes? ktel – this comment spins out in so many directions I don’t know where to start.

I have many things to say about her, the turtle, her escape to Miami, and her relationship with her father, none of which will interest Peter's readership. Bethenney deserves her own ktel post, IMHO.

Turns out, he had a cushy Wall Street job he lost as a result of appearing on the show. Not that Bethenney is any prize. But she must want a guy with money, so she has to beg turtles or do without.
