Couri’s Comments on Social Climbing and Modern Mooching<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our very own R. Couri Hay<\/strong> has been featured in Town and Country<\/strong>! The February 2018 issue, with Sarah Paulson<\/strong> on the cover, includes a spread talking about social climbing and mooching in the modern day. Long gone are the days of marrying rich to break into the upper class. We\u2019ve switched out \u201cgold-digging\u2019 with \u2018friend-digging\u2019 also known as making friends with the wealthy and powerful to have access to all their perks. Social media has helped spur the push for friend-digging, because it makes it easy to see who you\u2019re with instantly.<\/p>\n

Couri Hay has been working in the socialite world for many years now. Hired as a publicist for social figures looking to make their names bigger, Mr. Hay is very familiar with how to get people into the right parties and seen by the right people. His job is to help people make a name for themselves.<\/p>\n
