Famous For Being Famous: Black Socialite Genevieve Jones

OP you missed out “vacuous existence should not be celebrated”.

With Sofia Vargara

For all the scandal and speculation she is deeply basic and uninteresting. The kind of woman who posts pictures of herself in yoga poses captioned "namaste". I don't mind that she insinuated herself into her social position- I mind that her presence has been so unoriginal and boring.

R3 is posting from his mother's basement.

Here she is in the 90's. Her look was still evolving. She's had a good run. I wonder if she ever crossed paths with Michael Alig.

Is she a kept woman? Who bought that apartment for her?

I admire her drive. Imagine how far she could have gone if she had been mentored by the right people.

What is her real age?

She’s cute, and has good taste in furnishings and decor, and dresses well. She’s obviously an escort or someone’s mistress, unless of course, she won the lottery.

She’s much too reserved to be an escort, so I’m guessing she has a wealthy benefactor.

I bet she's someone's hag. Gay men love cute, independent black women with good skin.

R4 loves Genevieve's Instagram chocked full of mason jars, yoga pants, and Deepak Chopra style quotes. "Live, love, laugh!" It's fascinating, really.

Her Instagram is subdued and inoffensive, r12. Ricky Martin should ask her for decorating tips. At least she's not like those vulgar Kartrashians.

She has a jewelry line.

Willy probably thinks she is French because her name is Genevieve.

So she’s making coin off the back of that safety pin fad that petered out?

I bet her colon is sparkling clean.

We should introduce her to the mug cradling woman.

She has a pug? That settles it -she's AWESOME!!!!

I agree. It's obvious she loves her baby. Thumbs up for her Instagram.

Any relation?

She's a grown woman in her forties who speaks with all the verbal tics, vocabulary and affectations of a fourteen year old valley girl. Her apartment is decorated like a freshman hippy's dorm room. It's been that way for years without an update. Her "jewelry" line is made by someone else. She just oversees the designs to make sure they are as unoriginal and passé as possible. This is not a woman of hidden depths. She had a great run considering she isn't particularly bright, entertaining, or talented, and literally didn't do anything to merit any attention except stand next to celebrities and be rumored to sleep with married men who pay for her lifestyle. She's the epitome of average in every way except for the speculations. Even those are kind of dull.

She looks like a patient listener. I bet she acts as some type of surrogate psychologist celebrities can run to for comfort, without being worried she will leak their stories to the press...Only explanation why someone like Cartier would hang out at her apartment.

She's well preserved, considering she's been in the game since the early 90's.

She found her scam. Hope she is saving her money, cause she ain't no Mother Abigail!

R17, that's the jar where Jack Sparrow kept Davy Jones' heart. Is she Calypso?

She would have made a good second runner up to Meghan Markle.

She's so stately.

She sounds like a sociopath

If she were a siciopath, she would have killed off someone by now.

The people's princess.

No r29. Most sociopaths can get to the top of their career because they don’t care who they injure to get there but they have never killed anyone.

Mary! R29, who has she injured? She has an extensive circle of friends and she comes off as very sweet and humble in her videos. If she were a sociopath, people would have easily picked up on it and she would have a been unceremoniously dropped from their circle. Alig was the life of the party, but there are countless stories about what a worthless piece of garbage he was in real life - no surprise he murdered and dismembered his friend. Sociopaths are not normal (see the "my sociopathic son killed my daughter" thread).

She was the mistress to Francesco Clemente. If you do a little digging, you can find pictures of them together at NYFW years ago, pretending not to be together. She was also rumored to have dated Trent Reznor years ago back in New Orleans. Honestly haven't heard about this girl for years, didn't know anyone was still talking about her. She looks much older in person, especially around the eyes.

She was THE 'IT Girl' in fashion circles just over 10 years ago. Kind of like how Alexa Chung is perceived now.

I have no problem with this woman's game. Her planning and strategy are actually quite admirable. Millennials, take note.

She looks like those drag queens from Paris is Burning

So how old is she anyway. Thanks r33 very interesting.

I like her. I think she’s cute, and probably a nice person. She’s not a knockout, by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like her wardrobe choices, & she seems to be a good and loving dog mommy.

There’s a picture of her and her Mom on IG. Her mother is very well preserved, and was obviously very pretty at one time.

It’s a shame that she hasn’t found herself a husband as of yet. She travels in circles that gives her access to some very well off, divorced bachelors. But let’s face it, she’s not a spring chicken, and landing a husband in NYC isn’t easy.

Whoever she followed the 'drawing pin jewellery asthetiic;' I have bad news for you. Her drawing pin earings were the first of their kind. If you google 'Rihanna Genevieve Jones' you'll see her rocking those earings back in 2009. Am I crazy for thinking she'd be a great addition to RHONYC?!

She would be perfect for RHONYC, if she had a man.

R40 They are called 'safety pins'. "Drawing pins" are what thumbtacks are called in some countries. 2009 was not the first time someone decided to make safety pin earrings. They've been a cliché for decades.

Once she hangs up her little black dress for the last time, she should write a children's book. She's got one of those faces children would gravitate to.

WTF. I've always been a passing admirer of Genevieve's style over the years but who knew she had so many Stans?!?

She should teach a class on brand marketing at the New School.

Never heard of her

Why do people believe that they have right to know the intimate financial details of your life?

Because of all the attention you get from doing so, silly.

I give her credit. Not many of us who have fled Bumfucke have managed to carve out an interesting little niche in NY social life. Admit it, most of you are still in your parents' basement.

OP must be Genevieve. She's gotta be 50 at least.

Why all the relentless hatred towards people who suffer from Morgellon's Disease?

Who says she wants a husband? Maybe she likes being free and available. She seems harmless and pleasant enough. No shame in her game.

She has a real doll-like quality about her.

It's very POC shut in here on weekends.

At first, I wondered that someone with so much obvious ambition and drive never did anything more with it than get into celebrity society.

But then, I realized that what she'd actually done with her ambition and drive is to get someone else to fund a lifestyle where she can hang with celebrities, and do it in the long term. Well done!

She's done far more strategizing and put in countless hours to get to where she is than you are giving her credit for, r56. Most likely, she has been planning her ascent since early childhood. She could have easily wound up living an unfullfilled life with a gaggle of children in some housing complex. Good for her for taking control of her own life. How many of you come to this board to lament how sad and pathetic your lives are as justification for your anti-social behavior. At least she's happy.

Is that Laverne Cox out of drag on the left?

“Fussy, FINISHED!”

There are so many nonentities that I'd never know about if I didn't read about them on DL. This woman is one of them.

I can't believe anyone would envy her, R50 (btw, that's the first bad photo of Chadwick I've seen, he looks emaciated) - a person who validates herself by the number of famous people she briefly runs into. That's some pretty low self-esteem right there.

R61, it appears she has more than a passing acquaintance with some of the celebrities and industry people she's photographed with. I give her an "A-" for tenacity and a "B" for execution.

What’s wrong with some of you assholes?

The girl is harmless and appears to be a decent human being.

Fuck off for giving her shit. She’ seems very sweet and dresses well, in order to compliment her SLIM figure, which we ALL know is more than can be said about most of you cunty cows.

^LOL
