Hulu’s new documentary “Queenmaker” says that James Kurisunkal, the 2000s teen from Illinois who became an unlikely mover-and-shaker in Manhattan by covering socialites like Tinsley Mortimer from his bedroom, is now living as Morgan Olivia Rose, a gorgeous, glamorous woman reminiscent of Ms. Mortimer herself.
Morgan anonymously launched “Park Avenue Peerage” in 2007 when Mortimer, Olivia Palermo, Lauren Santo Domingo, et al, were not only dominating the gossip columns but filling blogs like Socialite Rank.
It became a hit and caused something of a stir when the author of the insidery record of Uptown ephemera turned out to be a Midwestern high-school student.
It won him an internship at New York magazine and an interview in the New York Times, which described the site at the time as “a compendium of party pictures, society updates, and, once in a while, family histories he put together mostly by culling wedding and death announcements.
