Gawker Learns How Guest Lists Are Made

They may have brought about the Age of Insolence, but evidently the folks at Gawker still have some innocence left. "[A]n invite list for a fancy party somehow fell into my inbox, and each name had coded entries like: "[Starry McTvstarlet] UNDER30/CUTE/ONAIR/300/[Starlet] BFriend" and [Modelly McExwife] 300/600/LI/MODEL/FASHION/LITERARY," editor Emily Gould wrote on Friday afternoon. "Whoa! Was this standard industry practice? And what did the codes mean?" You probably won't be shocked by what she learned when a publicist schooled her in the ways of guest lists.
