You love reality TV. You roll your eyes at the question, “But what do these people … do?” because yes, some of them are waiters, contractors, swimwear designers, and owners of lipstick brands, wine labels, and hair extension companies, but mostly they just do whatever, and you get to watch. You relate to storylines about divorce and depression as much as you like living aspirationally through six-figure parties and five-figure pairs of sunglasses.
I’m wearing a black turtleneck and black jeans like a French person, or a stagehand. People keep coming up to ask me for directions. A man who says he “literally ran” from Penn Station and is frantically searching for his wife asks me to watch his suitcase and Men’s Warehouse garment bag. I make my way up to the VIP open bar upstairs. It’s called the Shahs Lounge, in honor of a show about wealthy Persian friends living in Los Angeles. There, I meet a mother-daughter duo from Tennessee who bought the SVIP package so that the daughter could meet Shep Rose, noted playboy and star of Southern Charm. “I’m trying to hook them up,” the mother winks, swinging her cashmere cape. They are drinking vodka sodas, the Bravo Kool-aid.

On 11th ave they mingle with young men carrying plastic swords from nearby AnimeCon at the Javits Center. Members of both groups wear capes. I arrive at the Bravo bazaar, a living mall of Bravolebrities hawking their wares.
