Showing up fashionably late to a party or cocktail affair is no longer considered hip. Arriving an hour after the scheduled beginning of the event will get you some sour faces and your traditional eyebrow raising. It appears as though arriving on time or getting to the venue a little early is now considered trendy.
I asked many socialites about this new trend that is gripping the social elite. One woman quipped: "I used to arrive an hour after things got going...the reality was that I was stalling and really had no excuse for not being there on time. I would sit and watch a TV episode or just lie down until it was late enough. I don't do that anymore." A man commented: "I'm not sure what's happening. I've been showing up early when there are just one or two people milling about like retards with full drinks in their hands. From what I hear it's all the rage. I usually ignore the idiots and sit at the bar by myself until something better comes along."
