YORK MEN and women who covet Blaine Trump's level of name-recognition
tend to start their campaigns as soon as they marry a rich spouse or earn
their first $10 million. Should they have affluent parents, their
onslaught on the social Everest may begin even earlier. For innovative
youngsters with family money, there are do-it-yourself jump starts. Jennifer
Bawden, the daughter of a Canadian energy entrepreneur, co-founded an informal
discussion group for what she describes as "sweet, nice" society girls.
They convened at Mortimer's. "It was called the 'It's In to be Nice' club,"
says Bawden, a fashion designer who has piled up 14 junior charity committee
credits. |
