Swells by the Numbers
SFist Rita is on a well-deserved holiday break so we apologize ahead of time for this week's suckage.
Total number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: Too many to count. It's the "Cotillion" Edition
Total number of people pictured whose names we recognize: One. Danielle Steele.
Minority count: Zero. It's the Cotillion-- like there'd be any minorities.
Hats, capes, tiaras: Zero, Zero , and two tiara/wood nymph type things, although one picture has lots in the background.
Getty v. Traina: 1 Traina, that being John Traina
Plunging necklines: Sadly, none.
Theme of sets: 1930s Paramount movies
Your WASP name of the Week: Ned and Binnie Bates
Number of women who made their formal debut in society: 24
People who had to be rescued from the snow storm in Vail just so they could make it: 3
Number of Flip Cup games played: None


Geez, how can you have a cotillion without a game of flip cup? Tell me that at least they got to play beer pong.
What a ridiculous and archaic charade. These people should have to clean their own toilets.
