You mean I could get fame, money, unlimited wine/champagne, luxury clothes, and jewelry — just for attending some high society ball?

Where do I sign up? 🤩

Crazy shit. I'm watching online now - A Spy among Friends - BRITBOX - I mean it's WWII > Cold War SPY shit - but just fascinating the HighSociety <> SpyCraftSHIT, CocktailParties, BETRAYAL, murder, etc. Geezus! NO end to what people will do for sex, greed, power, leverage and social status, et al.

Screen Shot of BritBox series art for "A SPY among Friends." and text on poster art: "If Sir Roger Hollis (not pictured in art) is working for the Soviets, Elliot and Lily now have to assume that no one can be trusted." Pictured against all red backdrop, Elliott and Lily - looking very British 1960's SPY-ish. Next text is copied from https://thecinemaholic.com/is-a-spy-among-friends-based-on-a-true-story/ regarding the real people involved.
"Kim Philby and Nicholas Elliott — are based on real-life spies. Harold Adrian Russell “Kim” Philby was reportedly born in India when it was still under British rule in 1912. The Soviet Intelligence recruitee once attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge. After being trained by the KGB since 1934, he joined MI6, where he met John Nicholas Rede Elliott."

I have my aunt's "Celeste Holm" chair. Apparently she visited sometime in the 50s or 60s and my aunt put a note on the wing back chair she sat in. No family gossip to say how she behaved. #tcmparty #highsociety

What a swell party this is! (Not a fan of the whole movie, but there are great moments throughout. How can you not love this number and Satchmo?!) #HighSociety #TCMParty
