where's camilla been? los angeles, of course
The August issue of Tatler magazine is just now hitting our shores, and its annual Most Invited list is happily satiating the social curiosities of New York's considerable number of Anglophiles. While more than one party-loving person has maneuvered to get higher on the list, we met up with one well-connected young woman in London who was not disappointed to see her ranking fall from the single digits all the way to number 94: Camilla Al Fayed. "Where have you gone, Camilla?" the entry asks. "Come back, we need you. At the very least for your short skirts." To answer the first question, the Harrods heiress has been keeping a much lower profile and steering clear of the party scene, including events like the haute couture and her friends Elton John and David Furnish's annual White Tie and Tiara ball. (According to many, this is a good thing, as there was more than one Paris Hilton comparison in the works, which isn't really appropriate—the Paris Ritz, which Al Fayed's family owns, ain't quite a Hilton, people.) Instead, she's been spending some time in Los Angeles scoping out spaces for some possible retail ventures and getting more involved with the family business, an undertaking that has no doubt pleased the Al Fayed clan. "It can be very easy to become just another party girl, especially in this town," she told us. "But that is not what I want to be."
what is it/where is it from ?
