Bon Voyage to Rachelle and GoaG
Ah, Rachelle. Friend of Steve Lewis and blogger lacking wit or ability is the second to declare that we are over. At least Captain Ben Leventhal has a wee bit of credibility, but this we laugh at. Yesterday, Private Hruska missed the boat on our fun little post about Ibiza, and then has the gall to question our Birdy who has noticed a trend of slimy promoters hanging out at Rose Bar. Funny thing about trends - they develop over a period of time, so obviously we are discussing something longer than a Thursday of a holiday weekend. Here's another trend we have noticed, everything on her two GoaG sites is utterly worthless. Maybe we shouldn't expect her to grasp these concepts. After all, this is the same person that says the Atlantis is in Dubai.
Alas. We don't really care what she says. It's so boring. We just wish she would talk about her book parties, dress shopping, Hoboken, Times Square, and coverage of every single event that every single website with more than 3 readers get invited to and leave DBTH out of it. Because then we have to waste our time with things like this, and that is even more boring than reading her website.
DBTH

I completely agree. She speaks to a different subset of the outgoing population. Lets stop flaming other bloggers and just entertain the ones reading your respective sites.
I just got caught up with all the Blog beef DBTH. Just want to let you know Brooklyn's got your back. I hate when midwesterners who come to our fair city gain a small bit of notoriety then immediately get lost in the social scene. Shes punch drunk with her little blog fame. Get over yourself my dear we all know you are just a sad social climber.
Seriously, GoaG needs to grow up. Their "careers" are based on voyeurism of the "cool clique" whereas what I like about DBTH is that it doesn't purport to be something better than anyone else, it's just off-beat, informative, kind of scrappy and into the scene I like. News flash for Rachelle: New York is a big, diverse city and not everyone aspires to the benefit circle or cares enough about being seen to bare the traffic to the Hamptons every summer weekend. And anyway, on the Rosebar post, Stanley Stuyvesant is sitting at home at 9pm commenting on a blog...isn't he paid to be out doing something more "glamorous?" Maybe if they would get real lives and real interests instead of gossiping about those of others, people might take them seriously. Keyword: might.
willy be g, couldn't agree more. she lacks credibility, and seems to be taking a pitiful stab at injecting herself into the nyc social scene. rachelle, nobody cares about you. dbth is about nightlife and has been true to form since the beginning. you scurry off and write about everything else in order to suit your lack of self esteem and need to kiss the ass of every social half-wit in nyc.
by the way, chris m.c., rachelle is actually stanley. kind of lame that she posts under an alias when she wants to back up her real self in a post or doesn't have the balls to use her own name. it's one thing to be outed or to come out of anonymity on a blog, another to come out, but to use a fake alias. pretty lame. especially when you read how many stanley comments there are reacting to her own posts.
goag caters to the shecky's girls and douchebags. why anyone would take her words seriously, i haven't a clue.
pretty funny rachelle. just read your comments on the other post. fact - you are not invited to high profile events and the events you do cover are lame. dont you have 8 roommates so who are you to be commenting on what is fabulous and chic.
i actually like the hamptons but i've been going for a while and i didnt all of a sudden jump on the montauk bandwagon. there are two events this wkend out there and i can bet you wont be there to cover them. bc you have no clout. who are you to question this site after it has been touted by all the local media for being cutting edge and ahead of the curve. YOUR SITE HAS NEVER BROKEN A STORY.
and the public speaks. i guess i wasn't the only one to think that site was a bumbling river of nonsense. hey rachelle try breaking a story or writing something original. try covering a serious event and interviewing an actual celebrity or designer or someone people actually are interested in reading about.
Nowhere in that post does it say that Cain at the Cove is in the Atlantis in Dubai.
But yes, there is also an Atlantis in Dubai:
http://www.atlantisthepalm.com/
hi stanley, i mean rachelle. atlantis in dubai opening next year. couldn't have been more off about those cain numbers, by the way. just a shot in the dark? it's a management deal, by the way. jamie mulholland grew up with the kerzners in south africa who own atlantis. all of their deals are management. bobby flay, nobu... they own them all and they have people like jamie manage. $44 million my ass.
CAN WE GET CONFIRMATION FROM RACHELLE THAT SHE IS STANLEY? TIME TO SACK UP, RACHELLE. JUST COME CLEAN.
rachelle, you still don't get it? part of the greatness of dbth is the ability to take the piss out of someone. it's called snark, or making fun of... dubai is not the issue. you miss the whole point. you were made fun of in a sarcastic way and you are desperately trying to 'prove' yourself with inane facts. nobody cares about dubai, it doesn't matter. the point is the utter worthlessness of your content and the transparent desire that your vicariously try to be part of the scene through your site. go back to jour et nuit and shut the fuck up.
youch.
GoaG is pig vomit and run by a bunch of FIT interns. Good riddance.
point of order:
1) Snark was perfected by Gawker, and ruined by you.
2) Gofg has broken many stories. DBTH has also "broken" many stories, but not in the same way. When using the word "broken" with respect to DBTH, I am referring to the following definition of the word: "fragmentary or incomplete"
3) This IS Stanley, not Rachelle. Just look at the IPs of the commentors and u'll realize its not the same person.
4) We never said what exactly Jamie did at Atlantis other than that he was "involved". And FYI, those numbers come from a reliable source. If you don't think a place can do that kind of revenue, look at TAO in Vegas.
5) This must be the most comments you've ever received on post. You'd be pumped I'm sure, until you remind yourself that they are all you commenting under different aliases. Whoops!
6) I understand the concept of snark. But misrepresenting what someone wrote, i.e. "After all, this is the same person that says the Atlantis is in Dubai." and thinking that it is either funny or constitutes snark, is not only disingenuous, but shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what snark actually is.
Gofg might be pig vomit, but it would of course take a pig to know pig vomit. Moreover, you're squealing like a stuck pig right now as you lash out to try and retain what little cred you once had.
Stanley, obviously you are confusing snark with cattiness. Quite unbecoming on a gentleman, I must say. Furthermore, I just had a quick look at your site. It's kind of hypocritical for you to be commenting on lack of comments, no? I mean, I didn't see one on any of your recent posts.
You are obviously confusing cattiness with a misrepresentation of facts. No reader could possibly or logically deduce cattiness from that line where you claim I said something I did not.
You wouldn't know snark or cattiness if it hit you over the head.
Misunderstood. You obviously claim/aspire to be snarky. However:
"5) This must be the most comments you've ever received on post. You'd be pumped I'm sure, until you remind yourself that they are all you commenting under different aliases. Whoops!"
That, my friend, is cattiness. Get over yourself.
i can promise you that these comments are not all dbth.
the person who called your site pig vomit is not dbth either, he is another blogger who runs a great site. we had a conversation about the posts yesterday. and chris you are correct i just glanced thru her site and saw the complete lack of comments on any posts.
why do you find it hard to believe that people are actually writing these comments? funny that you are spending your day commenting on this site and no one is commenting besides you to defend your site.
SS: So you're not denying that GoaG is run by FIT interns?
ps - take down my fucking facebook update
Last season, Jamie Mulholland was M.I.A. (well at least out east). He had his hands full at a little place in Dubai that created quite the stir. This year, it seems we won’t have to question “Where in the World Is Jamie Mulholland?” anymore because we know exactly where one might find him:
this is from your site gofg http://hamptons.guestofaguest.com/hamptons-nightlife/where-in-the-world-is-jamie-mulholland/
send Rachelle to New Rochelle
stanley, regarding tao. they did 65 milllion this year. 10 at the pool. the rest is 50/50 food and beverage. this information is all available from restaurants and institutions magazine. that is 27.5 million each, food and beverage. not all of that beverage is from the club, as the restaurant does huge numbers. so maybe, 20 million at the club. you think cain does more than double that? check yourself, fool.
and what do you break? dbth breaks nightlife news. has since the beginning. 'breaking' what party fabian basabe went to s worthless.
true, gawker perfected snark, but it was the otne of the editors that set it apart. and the honesty. dbth is honest and is a good objective look at nyc nightlife. not quite sure how to sum up the content of your shit site, but it is piddly ass-kissing.
Should we start comparing incoming links, uniques, and page views? Nah, we don't want to embarrass you anymore.
Simple formula to determine unique page views on downbythehypocrite.com:
number of pages views / number of uniques
whereby number of uniques = 1
re: dubai, yes, real talk:

haha stanley... who cares about page views? why do you see yourself as so competitive with dbth? do you think dbth cares? you write about totally different stuff. starting to show your insecurity again!
oh, and stanley, at least dbth fosters free speech by not 'moderating' the comments on his site and letting people say whatever they want- positive or negative. how about you open your comments up so we can see what people really think about you?
is that why there is a lack of comments or do people just not read your site.
We approve all comments. Moderation is used to catch Spam.
no one was talking about page views but since you brought it up...
you told me that you had interns go into chat rooms and talk about your site to up your numbers.
chat rooms? What on AOL, are u still stuck in the 90s? I bet you're still using a dialup modem over there.
GoaG: Please go back to Omaha. You suck.
hey im just saying what you told me. you said you had interns going around to other blogs/sites talking about your site to up your numbers.
Imagine having an internship at GoaG on your resume. That would open some doors for sure.
Quick Question: when users come into your site via downbythehypocrite.com does it register as a page view?
downbythehypocrite.com
Bottom line is this . GOAG is seriously fucking petty if they are creating URLS like that.... get a life. its blogger etiquette which they should know since they are so fucking high and mighty. honestly they never break news its lame...they report on things that were cool like 2 months ago specifically their post on topshop! like we all don't know what the fuck topshop is... go back to fucking nebraska lame ass.
DBTH REAL nyc bloggers have your back.

# lame - July 8th, 2008
did you read what it said? a trend… not just last week. but, oh wait, i forgot, rachelle fucking hruska from fucking nebraska has been sipping ‘leechy’ martinis from day fucking one at rose bar and is a social anthropologist who saw everyone out in montauk. issue settled. and stanley, grow some balls and come out of the closet. unless you’re rachelle commenting on her own posts, which seems to make a lot of sense.
guest of a guest whores are completely fucking amateur, they are hamptons interlopers and have zero credibility. would never credential them for anything. two unemployed losers that think they can comment on society from the sidelines. DBTH, leventhal and steve lewis all shit on them
"Quick Question: when users come into your site via downbythehypocrite.com does it register as a page view?"
hahah fucking priceless
get a life, all of you
you write blogs!
please get off your high horses and get back to reality - fools
thanks captain obvious. we write blogs yea so the sky is blue. what is your point exactly? ps there are no horses here, its the city, except for the smelly ones in central park giving rides to tourists.
BTW, they are currently building an Atlantis in Dubai.
Does anyone know if Pascha is good on Tuesdays?
OMG I love Rachelle! And today is a milestone....to get that many negative comments is a sign of success for her and her website(s). To be loved, you also gotta be hated. And to be such haters takes energy out of YOUR day, and will not even affect Rachelle. So what's the point of hating? It's like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die!!!
well, it would seem you are wrong, as she has spent most of her day commenting on this site. rachelle hruska is everything that is wrong with nyc post-sex and the city. go back to nebraska.
she needs to be a Guest of a Gym
I feel bad for the girl that had the GoaG face photoshopped on her body.
@Spray Tan:
"So what's the point of hating? It's like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die!!!"
Christ, wow. That's EXACTLY what it's like. Are you indicative of normal quality of a GoaG reader?
