Inside Every It Girl's Inner Circle: The 10 "Friends" You Need

Let's be real here, the matriarch is the only one keeping you in check in your inner circle, right? The bitch think she's keeping you grounded but really she's just picking on you. You can't count on the henchman to do it because they literally believe the only person above you is God himself. And a shrink can only accomplish so much during one or two 45 minute sessions a week. We're not telling you to have your mom be part of your going out entourage. After all, you don't want a Dina Lohan situation on your hands. But that doesn't mean you can discount hanging with your mom! I don't know about you, but my fave person to get wine drunk with is my mom. She will kill me for saying this on a public forum, but I know deep down she agrees with me. Not only does she foot the bill for boozy brunches, she'll sometimes take you shopping afterwards and buy you a thing or two because her Bloody Mary buzz is making her feel generous! Also, she doesn't judge you and is there for you blah blah blah. Behind every it girl is a maternal figure who is keeping a watchful eye on them. Why do you think so many celebutantes have momagers? Even if your mom can't hang, what's stopping you from getting a nanny a la Corinne Olympios? Rumor has it she's negotiating bringing her to Bachelor in Paradise, which just goes to show how instrumental a matriarch truly is!
