Park Avenue Peerage

Park Avenue Peerage was a 2007 blog about Manhattan socialites.[1] It was run anonymously and was the primary competitor to another anonymous blog called Socialite Rank.[2] After blogger James Kurisunkal, an 18-year-old college student from Illinois, revealed his identity, he was offered an internship at New York Magazine.[2] Kurisunkal is now known as Morgan Olivia Rose.[1]

The story of the blog was and is documented in a 2023 film called Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl.[1][3] The film, which first aired on Hulu, was directed by Zackary Drucker.[3]
