Red Carpet Regular:
CW “High Society” Premiere
“The show is about me, my family – imperfections included - and a few other society characters” shines like a beacon. In a recent trailer she refreshingly shrugs, “I’m just Tinsley,” reminding gossip hounds all over town that sometimes it’s worth going directly to the source, and that perhaps a redefinition is in order. A socialite accepts the glamour and the responsibilities that come with the spotlight and does so with grace and honesty. Maybe it’s that simple. |

In a recent New York Post interview Tinsley’s co-star Deborah-Trachtenberg-cum-Devorah-Rose casts snark bombs like “doesn’t live on Park Avenue anymore” in her direction, and almost hilariously continues, “I never run around saying that my Uncle Nelson was one of the top executives at the third-largest oil producer in the world. Or that when my grandmother died, the sitting president of Venezuela went to her funeral. I’ve never used that, and I’ve never played that up.” Yes, these family secrets are best shared with The Post, and while the anguished co-star spills within the pages, guess who beams pretty in pink on the cover?
“I moved this past year,” Tinsley tells me matter-of-factly, “And I live in a loft in West Chelsea. When you live alone you end up doing a lot of things you previously had help with. Moving furniture, setting up the cable and wireless, little things like that – nothing major - but I’ve learned a lot about self-sufficiency. It’s empowering.” I ask if she’s tempted to fight back when reading accusations, and Tinsley smiles calmly, “Maybe for a second. I’m human. But I’d much rather focus on my Samantha Thavasa handbag line, or my more recent clothing line for Riccime. Time is always better spent when you are creating.” Truth in the face of cattiness, and once again cream rises to the top.
Sister Dabney Mercer enters with her usual exuberance and announces, “I’m starving,” and Dominos pizza is the gold standard. “I just won Super Mario Brothers on Wii,” |
