Inspired by Beth Spotswood's perfect post on SF society (who, during our failing economy, are being tragically ignored), we have to give it up for the sublime Joy Bianchi. She is a San Francisco treasure. While many ilk on the society registry are trading in their Mercedes for Priuses (ick!), Bianchi keeps old-school SF glamor, disposable income, and eccentricity alive.

Bianchi, we salute you.
