Mel, that is a pretty nifty article! Also, you just gave a shot in the arm to a bunch of bloggers who read your site


Check you out! Such a cute photo, too!


Found you through Radar.
Love the site.
The satire is just subtle enough.
Well done.


Aww, congrats! That's a great article--thanks for the advance peek!


also found you thru radar. you do seem extremely preppy. is this an identity adopted later in life or were you always one of those girls in the twinsets?


Great quotes, Mel! You are so well-spoken and such a great representative of all things preppy!


You represent us well, Mel!


I think you came across very well! Are you happy with how the article came out?


Great article and quotes Mel!


OMG, firstly George W is not a wasp! He is from Texas for pete's sake!!! and Radar mentioned unruly heir and not CK Bradley! SHAME! Otherwise you look great M, Go Preppy!!


I still winter in Hobe Sound. Quelle horreur!


Bush is a cautionary tale for the new preppies huh. I guess the tale is don't be the idiot used as a puppet by evil men.

Nice article Mel.


You represent the Preppy Culture very well.


Fun article, good job on the interview!


Um, the Bush family is from Maine.


Fabulous article! Great photo and quotes.


Great article, Mel! You're right, it is hip to be square. hee hee.


Great article!


"OMG, firstly George W is not a wasp! He is from Texas for pete's sake!!!"

Take it easy there Sally! Do your research before posting. The Bush Family is originally from the East Coast (CT and also ME) and it doesn't getting any WASPIER than them. for political and business reasons the family relocated to Texas in the 70s. GWB were born at Yale (CT) while his dad was an undergrad there.

Please do your research....


Great article. I actually went to college with Joey Goodwin, too funny.


Interesting article, but I definitely don't agree with Lilly as the old style icon and Tory Burch as the new. What's up with that?


well said Nancy T.

and even if he were from Texas, that wouldn't have precluded him being a WASP.

Some people....!!!!


Great article Mel! Now should I expect to see the paps in the bushes outside of J. Mc Laughlin or Bobby Van's when you are out East?

I'm not so sure how WASP-y Tory Burch is....


omg, read the article n couldn't get to itunes fast enough to ck out "vampire weekend"! downloaded all 3 songs available...luuuuv them!!! also, hightailed it over to the "unruly heir" website but unfortunately they just do menswear always on the prowl...


Dear me that's one cute article. I'm a Radar reader anyhow so I'm sure I'll see it soon.

I was at Stubbs & Wooton today and it made my skin crawl so I guess I've failed the preppy test in a massive way...

Oh well, plenty of other tests to fail.


Lovely article. Well done, You!

Blog on, Preppy Lady.


Congratulations, Mel. You are a superstar! Of course, you were a superstar before the article


Tory Burch is a bona fide wasp people. Besides the "distinct preppy-boho look" of her designs that she's culled from her fashionable mother's wardrobe, she's from the Mainline! N'est-ce pas?


I'm not saying Tory isn't a wasp, but no one can replace Lilly.


Being from Texas would preclude him from being a WASP so "some people" yourself. Also he wears cowboy boots and cowboy hats (wasps do not own these items i can assure you).


And he is not a Protestant. They are Born-Agains. But it is more fun agitiating you all!!! toodles!!


Umm not a WASP but still preppy. Mexican and preppy are a great combination. I do enjoy reading this blog, great job Mel.


Tory may in fact be a WASP I don't know.
I do know if I see one more ballet flat with her logo on the toe, I may scream.

Her brand is nice but it has become so mainstream & that is usually when I stop liking something.
