A blogger’s peril at La Esquina

We thought anyone who lounged with Andre Balazs, worked at Mercer Kitchen and Spy, and is blog rumored to be dating PR persona Jeremy Piven would have absolutely no problem getting into La Esquina. Come on, that was so last summer anyways.

Apparently not. Scenester/blog goddess Abbe Diaz recounts the true story of her and her friend being turned down at La Esquina’s door because “the bar was too crowded.” When Diaz offers to call Serge-Becker on her celly, the unimpressed slag at the door shrugs her a “sure, whatever, bitch” type response.

Because she’s obviously somebody, SB answers Diaz’s call (on a Saturday night, omg!), the blackberry gets passed around to the staff, and she’s finally let in, friend in tote.

After much more drama with various bar staffers, Diaz decides to peace out. That’s when the dude who turned her down at the door starts laughing in her face:

as i pass through the exit at the top of the stairs, that same doorman with the military hat cackles really loudly at my retreating back ahhahahahah hahahahahaha hahahahahHAHAHAHAHAAAAaaaaaa.
i’m not exaggerating that is not a joke

therefore. the only explanation i can feasibly derive for this outrageous display of audacity
is that serge-becker got on the line and said something to them maybe like: “…whatever.. let her in… just get that stupid asshole out of your face.”

So, wait, we are just as confused as Diaz. Is she friends with Serge-Becker? Are we supposed to know who Serge-Becker is? (His name sounds important.) Is laughing at people from across the room now considered inappropriate?

Maybe if we were allowed out of the apartment, we’d have a better grasp on the social happenings of a Manhattan socialites — but blogofights are still funny, even if you have no idea what’s going on.
