Apple Martin’s debut into society

[Iwanttoliveiniriscottage]

What do people think about this. I can’t believe it’s still a thing in our modern society. Being presented to society in a debutante ball. How very antiquated.

I think this is just an excuse for them to get dressed up and have fun. I don't think anyone there looks like they are taking themselves too seriously.

Was it ever thus. Henry James wrote all about rich American debutantes who married impoverished nobility in England.

I thought Coldplay were all posh boys.

You mean Charles and William? I agree.

CM went to Sherborne

Being presented into society. Yes... society with a small 's'.

This is not how one finds one's way into the upper echelons of the real bona-fide upper class Society.

Her jumping in front of that other girl more or less wasn't cool or well mannered.

"Rallyes" are a way for parents to try to ensure that their children socialise with the sorts of people they wish them to and very much play the role of public schools in England - you need to be recruited into a rallye and to spend a lot of money on the socialising. Since they last for several years, culminating in a party hosted by the mothers of several girls who club together for the event, they are extremely time consuming and not always compatible with the school timetable. Children can be a bit embarrassed about being in a rallye.

I have never seen a good result from a bullhorn lip lift, and Apple Martin did not change my opinion.

What a load of patriarchal fecking pish.

I think she's just like her dad!

How very antiquated to parade one’s daughter like a prize Clydesdale to show her status and genes off
On the chance a rich man wants to marry her

Apple is not new money. Gwenyth went to Spence, a 60k per year private girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. She lived in a private townhome. Martin, like so many others, talks a game but loves privilege. They almost all do. It’s gross.

I agree, her face is the spit of her dad! She has the beautiful porcelain skin of her mother though.

I also read the title and expected this to be about cocktails.

It's just rich girls prom isn't it?

Perhaps she's looking for wealthy cox.

The money goes to line the pockets of the handsomely paid directors of these charities!

I don't know what that is.

But I did think her distinvtive pout doesn't seem to have been inherited from her mum or dad.

isn't GP against surgical cosmetic stuff?

That's what I was thinking.

Me too.

I think this happens a lot with the daughters of famous beautiful women. Like Kaia Gerber. She's styled to look like her famous mother, and she has her colouring, but her features much more closely resemble Randy Gerber. Her brother Presley, however, is the male version of Cyndy.

Or Monica Bellucci's eldest daughter Deva. Everyone goes on about how she resembles Monica, but looking beyond her colouring and styling, I only see Vincent Cassel.

😅

Chris Martin is a hypocrite IMO. He used to moan about being famous/celebrity but only seems to date v high profile women with a high level of celebrity. There are plenty of actors/singers etc who don’t live a high profile, celebrity fuelled life. He’s chosen to.

I agree this whole debutante thing it doesn’t fit with his “I’m just a hippy doing muzak for fun” narrative.

It’s uncomfortable for me on so many levels and not least seeing Apple practically pushing another young woman out of the way to get another photo op! She seems very entitled which is very different from empowered!

It’s fun to look at all the dresses but her mouth looks really sore! Feel a bit mean saying that but it can’t be her natural lip surely?

It’s natural. Look at earlier pics of her on Google images.

Ah, that glorious summer before the war, when gels were gels and chaps weren't bumders. Cocktails on the balcony, a string quartet playing softly in the background, dear old Boopsie getting discreetly fingered in the orangery. What japes!
