Glitterati (film)
''Glitterati'' is an American film directed by Roger Avary. Filmed in 2001, it remains unreleased due to various legal, ethical, and music licensing concerns. ''Glitterati'' stars Kip Pardue as Victor Ward, a shallow and narcissistic aspiring model, as he travels around Europe and becomes implicated in a terrorist plot. The film was assembled from 70 hours of video footage shot for the European sequence of '' The Rules of Attraction''. The film was intended as a connecting bridge between ''The Rules of Attraction'' and a planned film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's 1998 novel '' Glamorama'', which was to be directed by Avary and star Pardue. Avary has described ''Glitterati'' a "pencil sketch of what will ultimately be the oil painting of ''Glamorama''." Plot Victor Ward is in Europe in order to "take a whack at the whole modelling, European, figure-it-out kind of thing". The film uses song lyrics to tell the story of how Victor Ward becomes involved with a Florence bombing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jet Set
The jet set is a social group of wealthy and fashionable people who travel the world to participate in social activities unavailable to ordinary people. The term was introduced in 1949 and replaced " café society"; it reflected a style of life involving travelling from one stylish or exotic place to another via jet plane. With the democratization of air travel it has been replaced at least in part by the term "''glitterati''", reflecting a greater emphasis upon celebrity, including "being seen" and stalked by ''paparazzi'', and less upon mode of travel. The term "jet set" is attributed to Igor Cassini, a reporter for the '' New York Journal-American'' who wrote a gossip column under the pen name " Cholly Knickerbocker". He was a younger brother of the fashion designer Oleg Cassini. Another term that developed during the era was ''Beautiful People'',''Vogue'' 15 February 1964:49 and '' The Ladies Home Journal'' September 1970:81, noteBarry Popik, "Beautiful people" a perio ...
