@kiki_astor: You know those women who can deliver a compliment, a critique, and a threat—all in the same breath and while holding a silver martini? That’s my godmother. Raised in a world of linen napkins, trust funds, and social codes you’re expected to just know, she says things that sound polite… but if you really listen? It’s old money code for “you’ve been judged, dear.” This video is a love letter to that vintage WASP art of saying everything without saying anything. It’s old money etiquette meets passive-aggressive poetry. The kind of thing you only learn if you grow up surrounded by boarding school legacies, discreet divorces, and inherited contempt for anything “newly renovated.” Whether she’s observing that someone is “very confident in color” (translation: she looks like a clown) or remarking that a home is “perfect for entertaining” (translation: a little vulgar, don’t you think?), my godmother could teach a masterclass in veiled condescension. If you’ve ever: – Been destroyed by a compliment. – Left a dinner party wondering if you were just insulted. – Worn a dress and had someone say “That’s very you.” – Thought a hostess gift might double as an apology... Then you’re going to love this. This is for the girls who were raised on Jane Austen and Town & Country, who speak fluent innuendo and know that saying “How clever of you” doesn’t always mean you’re clever. Because in old money circles, what you say isn’t nearly as important as how you say it. And nothing is more powerful than a perfectly timed pause… followed by “Bless her heart.”
