In our latest AreUComing, the writer-publicist-Twitter personality avoided unhappyfem all evening
This is Kaitlin Phillips. Photo: Daniel Arnold Who is Kaitlin Phillips? Excellent question. For a certain kind of New York media and/or art person, her provocateur’s performance on Twitter, under the private handle @yoloethics, has made her in-the-know famous; the Times media columnist Ben Smith, clearly titillated, once described her as someone who “occupies a spot close to the center of a map of downtown personalities.” A Barnard girl from Montana, she came to the city to become a writer .
8:10 p.m. | I walk into Kaitlin’s comfy, warmly lit living room, currently occupied by those friends who did have the courage to show up, gabbing about film and Mercury-in-retrograde depression. “We’ve gotta blow that planet up. It’s always doing that,” jokes artist Sam McKinniss, the only man invited to girls’ night. I attempt to sit down but end up almost falling through an old chair with a hole in the seat.
9:20 p.m. | I ask two new guests about the lady of the house — I notice that she seems to be avoiding me, collecting used dishes while she flees — but they only offer up a joke and an evasion . “What are you going to write about? It’s so fucking boring?” one of them asks, laughing. I suppose the Candace Bushnell shot and another photograph of party-girl writer Eve Babitz and a 1998 plastic-wrapped issue of New York Magazine about “power girl” publicists on her dresser say enough.
10:45 p.m. | Girls’ night ends when the caterer Daniel Soares, a fourth-generation Balducci, shows up to wander the room and hand out figs to the ladies. I compliment the sexy spread, and he explains, “If you’re not cumming while eating, why eat?” He says he’s really into “the sensuality of food” and catering for “chic people” who throw “intimate gatherings,” like this one. I’m told he’s single.
11:25 p.m. | Kaitlin bums a cigarette from me, but only takes a handful of puffs before going back inside. “If you really want to get involved at the party, help me do the dishes,” she taunts, grabbing wineglasses with both hands. But when I follow her to the kitchen, she heads for the living room.
