EAST QUOGUE, N.Y. — There are few surprises more delectable for a culture writer than walking into a room full of people all dressed alike unintentionally. That's how you know you've found yourself among an insular tribe, that you've fallen through a portal to a world with its own unspoken customs and idols.
Bethenny Frankel's Supermodel Café, a bagel and coffee pop-up tucked into a picturesque Southampton storefront, is exactly such a room. And 10 minutes after it opened to the public on Aug. 13, I am fighting for my life trying to order a Cookie ******* er Latte as the entire pink-and-white ******* e is swarmed by glamorous women and girls in the same color palette.
Dresses are lacy and ruffled; accessories are gold and raffia; cheeks are blushed and bronzed within an inch of their lives. The handbags are uniformly beige and brown leather, and every fingernail in the building is tastefully manicured in pink or white, even on the young girls. The line outside curls all the way around the block.
The line grows as staffers hand out candy, refreshments and light bites. - (Bea Oyster/The Washington Post)
And what brings all these gals here today? What are they most dying to try?
