It’s Good to Be the Manny

Gosh, is there anything more satisfying than knowing that heiress and socialite Holly Peterson got a million-dollar advance for her first novel, The Manny? Yes! It’s watching Peterson and her equally wealthy, equally entitled Park Avenue friends cavort in a slickly produced home movie promoting the manifold pleasures of a childcare provider who’s chiseled, waxed, and in possession of a penis. More than just a vanity project devised and executed by people with too much money, too much hired help, and an outsized sense of their own hilarity, this video is truly legitimate cinema: Not only does it feature Karen Duffy’s touching portrayal of a drag queen who feels abandoned by his/her high-flying husband, but it also has a dwarf—and nothing says “art” like a dwarf.
