Inspired by the recent FX series, Capote vs the swans, that is so successfully trending currently, I am discussing here the topic of inner-circles and social exclusions. Is is right, is it toxic? Is it discriminating? I, for one, am a believer of the necessity of inner-circles by limiting our interactions with very few, trust-worthy, time-tested and high-quality individuals as a form of self protection and self love. Life is very complicated and we have to use boundaries and limit our interactions and trust in order to protect ourselves and allow the right people in. In my opinion it is OK to have an inner circle, the very few friends or family that you call your tribe. It’s not about discrimination, exclusions or toxicity. It’s about the right human connections where by having the right people in your life you survive and thrive towards a more elevated/spiritually higher existence. - Susanna

They were the most famous socialites and beautiful style trendsetters of NYC of the 50s 60s and 70s. These women, married to the most influential men, were very glamorous and ultra rich, with beautiful style and beautiful aesthetics were the most prominent social taste-makers.
