Dear Mary: How do I shake off my party girl reputation?

From Lady Violet Manners

Q. I’ve somehow developed a reputation as a party girl when in fact I’d much rather curl up on the sofa in front of a box set. Have you any helpful hints on how one can maintain appearances without actually having to go out?

A. Don’t worry: staying in is the new going out. Maximise on rarity value rather than ubiquity and maintain your stylish profile by posting pictures of how pampered you look at home in your von Halle or Poplin silk pyjamas (now trending as day clothes).
