cityfile · 06/03/08 06:05AM

The city's most spoiled high school seniors are getting ready to par-tay tonight. Six single-sex, blue-chip private schools—Collegiate, Browning, Brearley, Hewitt, Spence, and Nightingale-Bamford—will hold their group prom tonight in the fittingly hoity-toity location of the Waldorf-Astoria's Starlight Room. The Sun has the color on the event, and also takes the occassion to delineate all the ways Rich Manhattan Private School Proms differ from mere Middle-Income Suburban Public School proms. There are tons of them, it turns out!

Yesterday, we heard from an alumna of Manhattan's all-girl Hewitt School whose classmates made her feel poor because she didn't hobnob with the King of Morocco. But, she said, those rich bitches "always wanted to hear about Chapin. That's where all the dirty crazy action was supposed to be." Today, a Chapin alumna fills in the blanks! Also, Dirty Crazy Action is coming to NBC next fall.

But a Hewitt alumna and former student council VP wishes to clarify this point. "I would like to take this time to openly address the issue of the Hewitt School having gone there for 7 years and being the joyful recipient of it's prestigious 1995-2000 cancer cluster. I'll begin with Kari," she writes.

"Our shit still stinks, but you can't smell it because the bathroom is sprayed hourly by the maid with a refreshing scent made exclusively for us by French perfumers," wrote Cecily von Ziesgar in the first volume of the Gossip Girl series. Hewitt School student council president Kari Brandt, writing to the New York Times to protest what she felt was an unfair characterization of her class (heh) in Ruth La Ferla's article about the TV series based on those novels, would beg to differ. Hewitt girls' shit does not stink—although we've heard that anyone who says it does will be drummed right out of the cool girls' club.
