Alphanistic Mystery: Genevieve Jones
March 18, 2009
You may have seen this chick inside the pages of Vogue and other fashion magazine.
She’s all over Lipstick Alley.
Everyone wants to know: how does Genevieve Jones do it?
She’s notorious on the New York social scene for being one of the few black faces at mostly white parties and soirees. She’s managed to get sort of elite access to New York’s high society. Rumor is her lifestyle is financed by a rich, white man, who she was having an affair with some time ago according to reports. Recently, she has been seeing a guy named Zac–something. Posen?
She’s hardly pictured at any events you’d normally attend. She’s Trinidadian but once would never know.
In other words, Genevieve is mysterious. The rumors abound. She’s “in” and “they” like her. She lives a fairtytale life. She’s managed to defeat stereotypes and surprise. She’s “well-connected” without appearing in Maxim, hip hop videos, but only the gossip columns. Publicists ask for her by name and designers give her free clothes. Again, she doesn’t “work”, but last year was featured in Vogue as a designer on the rise for her jewelry line. Major publicity coup.
You figure it out. Another “alphanistic” mystery.

And the story continues about Genevieve Jones…she’s a legend, the girl should write a book!
I vaguely remember a magazine (was it Vanity Fair?) doing a piece on Genevieve and how she came out of nowhere to become a socialite.
I personally find her to be a bit “blah”, but that’s just me. Whatever she’s doing, it must be working for her.
yeah..and she look like one of the Olsen twins… But Is it because she fits into the upper realms of high (white) society that she is a legend? Could she do the same thing in the hood amongst her own people? Things that make you go hmmm….
Pimping isn’t easy but it sure is fun.
Ahhhhh Yes Genevieve..
Im not gonna touch this one!

@THC SPILL IT! LOL
Ahhh I can’t!

I was ONCE super fascinated by Gen Jones as well which is why as a professional blogger, I interviewed her for my blog 3 years ago, yes a few months before the infamous Wall Street Journal article–which she hates by the way because f its NUMEROUS inaccuracies.
The thing that make Gen GREAT is her style and grace PERIOD! The affair, the fact that she is of Trinidadian decent ( not Trinidadian, there is a difference) blah blah are all “incidental”. If anyone bothered to check in her numerous photo galleries in Wire Image, Patrick McMullan etc. or if anyone ever happened to meet others who are close to her they’d realize she DID not come out of NOWHERE. She has been on the “scene” for 6 maybe 8 years and before that her close circle wasn’t being photographed they were just “BEING”…does this all make sense? PS she does work, just not at a desk at a 9-5 job!

Zac Posen is gay and is a designer, they aren’t seeing eachother, they’re good friends….yea, i don’t understand the fascination with her, but if I met her, maybe I would get it.
I THINK SHE IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL AND FABULOUS…
DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT HER MYSPACE PAGE IS?? BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO ADD HER
She may not “work” but she is definitely “working it!” I’m not hardly mad at her. Do your thing Genevieve!
