Pop Culture November 12, 2021


2:33 A.M. WEDNESDAY

I head home, too exhausted to think about the ice sculptures imminent demise, the location of all of those magazines or the horror of anonymous airdrops. Farewell and to all a good night! I could live a long and happy life without ever hearing the words “blockchain” “eth” or “metamaskwallet” ever again, but wait, maybe I’m missing out? Maybe being part of this WAGMI game is a total career shift? Also, WAGMI is cute! Just like those aforementioned crypto boys (👀)

3:07 A.M. WEDNESDAY

P.S. I know I said I never wanted to see an ice sculpture again, but thinking about ice sculptures… does eating ice cream on my sofa while wearing my bunny slippers count as a Rabbitar party-for-one? Things I ponder. <3

I might not have known much about Crypto when I went in, but I’m a pro coming out! HODL, dear readers, and get ready for an inside look at our latest trip down the rabbit hole.

PRE-PARTY: 12:17 P.M. MONDAY

T-minus 19 hours until the Rabbitar party. Our special coasters have hit a road bump and won’t get here in time. BRB, fixing shipping delay disaster…JK the coasters arrived and turned out pretty nice!

3:32 P.M. MONDAY

Coaster crisis averted. But now the Rabbit Head ice cubes are delayed. Calling our Purple PR event sorceresses who will be able to make some appear in time for the party. And we need a lot.

11:02 A.M. TUESDAY

Ok. Coasters getting delayed? Fine. Ice cubes? We can still skate by with some help. But now our own party clothes aren’t here! That’s where I draw the line. Thanks a lot, global shipping issues. cue y2k rom-com shopping montage

8:31 P.M. TUESDAY

Our Rabbitar Neon from friends at Yellowpop is on! I think I took, like, 200 pics. Will find a cute one to post later.

PARTY BEGINS: 9 P.M. TUESDAY

“Fashionably late” doesn’t seem to be a thing in the crypto community. The space is already filling up (and it’s a real sausage fest)…Phew! False sausage alarm. Playmates Savannah Smith (May 2020), Khrystyana (November 2020) and Jordan Emanuel (PMOY 2019) are in the house!!

9:12 P.M. TUESDAY

Oh no. I forgot to turn off my phone’s Bluetooth, and now I’ve gotten 6–nope, make it 12–airdrop requests. Paranoia is setting in. Can they hack into my phone? Can they see my nudes? Can they see my browser history with 50 searches for “custom ice cubes manhattan”? Oh god oh god oh god. What the hell is a MetaMask Wallet? I just have a CDG wallet!

9:16 P.M. TUESDAY

Playboy Jen comes to my rescue with crypto tips extraordinaire. (You’ve probably seen her helpful YouTube videos.) Big ups to learning what “WAGMI” and “HODL” means. But wait, what’s a bitcoin pizza? Can you eat it? Now I’m hungry…

9:24 P.M. TUESDAY

Maybe I’m just thirsty. There’s also a tequila tasting? Moving that front and center, come get a taste of the new Playboy Rare Hare añejo (from our friends at Código 1530) before it’s gone! All my favorite work obligations involve starting with tequila.

VIPs ARRIVE: 9:25 P.M. TUESDAY

This party is a real glimpse into a rare mixture: A-listers, icons, Playmates and crypto-royalty (or so I hear, who the hell knows what they look like, so how would I know?)

9:26 P.M. TUESDAY

Wait, I didn’t realize crypto boys are so cute! Another silver lining. (And time to fix my eye liner.)

9:31 P.M. TUESDAY

Wait, is that Jared Leto? Need to get a closer look……it’s not…but is it? He is into method acting…

9:37 P.M. TUESDAY

Wait, where did all the vintage PLAYBOY magazines go? It’s been 30 minutes guys, come on! These are interactive decorations, not party favors…Party guests read it for the articles!

10 P.M. TUESDAY (On the DOT)

Pam Anderson makes an entrance: the only thing that can render a crypto bro speechless during NFT.NYC. Joined by her son Dylan Jagger Lee.

BFA 33255 4510981

10:19 P.M. TUESDAY

Caroline Polachek rolls up, and it looks like bunny is indeed a rider. She just said she was inspired by “y2k realness.” Hashtag obsessed. opens web browser and googles: cute y2k glasses

BFA 33255 4510957

10:26 P.M. TUESDAY

Still can’t tell if that’s Jared Leto?? JORDAN CATALANO I WILL FIND YOU!

11:06 P.M. TUESDAY

CT Hedden is going OFF on the dance floor with a PLAYBOY mag (which is now a hot commodity since they all mysteriously vanished 2 hours ago). I know this party is for NFTs, but this is art! (aka what Playboy Jen told me they call “physical art” (🤯 what!?)

11:something? P.M. TUESDAY

Trinidad James shows up—proof that this party is going to keep going, even if my mind is not.

Ok. Definitely not Jared Leto. But I’m not mad, look at this crowd!

MIDNIGHT

We tell the DJ that she’ll definitely be able to go home by 1 am.

BFA 33255 4510887

12:46 A.M. WEDNESDAY

Just kidding…we let the DJ know she can leave at 1:30 A.M.

1:28 A.M. WEDNESDAY

We promise the DJs they’ll be done by 2 A.M. Playboy Jen tells us “anyone who’s anyone in crypto is blowing this joint up” — kewl? Oh, wait, I mean WAGMI! Really getting the hang of this crypto talk.

2 A.M. WEDNESDAY

The DJs are actually done now. Dim the music, turn up the lights because this crowd goes hard.

2:03 A.M. WEDNESDAY

Playboy Jen sent them off to a Deadmau5 concert. Have fun, cryptopunks, ILU.

2:22 A.M. WEDNESDAY

Ok, I never thought this would be a question I’d come up against, but how long do ice sculptures last? Our Rabbit Head barely has a dent in it, and it needs to leave the premises. We consider the following disposal options:

  • Throw in the street
  • Ritual burning
  • Throw into the Hudson river
  • Flame thrower practice
