Getting through bronchitis and whatever else has put reading on the back burner and trashy television front and center. I have no shame, there’s lots out there that’s frothy and delicious. Namely, devious white people taking rich people’s money, living a life of glamour and cachet, and finally getting caught.
First up, Inventing Anna. This is candy-colored fashion, cross-continental conniving, and a wonderfully told story. I loved every moment. Highlights are Laverne Cox as a celebrity trainer, Alexis Floyd as Neff, and Julia Garner’s mysterious accent.
I’ve also watched both of the Fyre Festival recaps on Hulu and Netflix and also the first Elizabeth Holmes tell-all, “The Inventor.”
And, apparently there’s more coming. More Holmes, plus a documentary about the vegan chef who ran away from NYC a few years ago. The grifts know no end. I’m sure there are anthropological findings in here but for now I’m just enjoying the stories.
