...protagonists' excesses alone make for lurid, enjoyably outraged viewing. (Surely one celebrant's decision to dye her poodles pink should have prompted a call to the A.S.P.C.A.) A precocious celebutant makes her entrance via helicopter. A self-proclaimed "divo" (like diva but different) rents out the mall to stage a faux fashion show (prompting a backstage catfight over a limited supply of bustiers). There are hired dancers, a raj-like litter hoisted by hand-picked hotties and an apparent contractual obligation for someone to arrive in a stretch Hummer. I had no idea so many stretch Hummers even existed...
...same queasy sense of monochromatic excess because all the shows are alike, from the fake panic that the party may not happen to the scary-sexy dry humping on the dance floor. And no matter what the nominal theme of the party--California beach party, Moulin Rouge, the color pink--each guest of honor is really after only one thing. "I feel famous. I love it," says one. Another: "I definitely felt like I was famous." Yet one more: "I felt like such a star." The teenagers take on all the tics of fame, from tiny dogs to referring...

...gentrified sections of the city, far away from Fountain’s home, little seems changed from before Katrina’s arrival. Brides can still buy wedding invitations in cool shades of cream. Stores sell day planners in smooth leather for a little under $100 and pink-spotted stationery for $20. Past this and the neighborhood coffee shop (iced chai latte, $3.65), there sits a solid Whole Foods. Blackberries are priced $5.99. A half loaf of bread costs 99 cents. A willing customer can buy corn-and-crab chowder and creole crawfish salad by unit weight.In New Orleans, normalcy...
