Indy’s Social Clout!!!

For the past year, we have been honored to have been able to float through the night at parties or club openings, hang out by the boats all day at Bella Vita in the summer and meet all kinds of amazing people…but we continue to be asked one question on a regular basis?

Who is it important to know in Indianapolis?

Well, we guess it depends on how you define “important”, being that we have no desire to be the next CEO of Lilly, not that we’re qualified, or to be a chef at The Columbia Club. Oh, all of those careers would probably be quite interesting, but we’re talking about the behind the scenes, Hollywood/Vegas Party vibe right here in Indianapolis. Alot of people THINK they run the show, but that’s not quite the case. If you watch carefully, as we have over the past year, you will realize that the same people run in the same circles and they make things happen in this city. And consequentially, we’re now able to call many of these people our dear friends…but others we hardly know…Needless to say…if you want to get anywhere in this town socially…The following is who you NEED to know…and whether you agree or not doesn’t really matter…because it’s the truth! So Indy…If you were a play…this would be your cast!!!
