SOCIALITE Devorah Rose, the editor in chief of Social Life magazine.

THERE is a certain kind of socialite who spends her summers in the Hamptons: perhaps the daughter of a Manhattan real estate millionaire or media magnate; maybe an intern at Vogue or Sotheby’s who takes the Jitney on Fridays to her parents’ estate on Further Lane. She hopes to meet a wealthy financier and settle with him into a classic six on the Upper East Side. And her summer “get” is an invitation to the exclusive party held every Fourth of July at the Georgica Pond manse of the billionaire Ronald Perelman.

Devorah Rose is not one of those socialites. She is a self-made creation who moved to Newton, Mass. You can find black cocktail dresses, chiffon cocktail dres ses,summer tea length mother of the bride dresses, strapless cocktail dresses, halter cocktail dresses, mini cocktail dresses, from Venezuela with her mother in 1986, and propelled herself into the Hamptons social scene as the editor in chief of Social Life, a twice-monthly summer rival of the better-known East End glossy, Hamptons magazine. One part Lily Bart, one part Holly Golightly, Ms. Rose has a well-honed talent for self-promotion, brides dresses brides dresses a keen instinct for when cameras may be hovering nearby and a seemingly unerring belief that being fabulous can be a full-time career.

Other socialites of Ms. Rose’s age (she will admit only to being in her late 20s) may aspire to be Lizzie Tisch or Julia Koch. Ms. Rose instead seems to be modeling herself after a reality television brand like Bethenny Frankel, who turned her appearance on “The Real Housewives of New York” into two reality show spinoffs, a series of diet books and a line of cocktail mixes that recently sold for a reported $120 million.

Ms. Rose has been dogged in trying to get on reality TV, which she called “the new Hollywood,” adding, “The Kardashians make more money than Angelina Jolie.” She parlayed a Social Life cover story on Ms. Frankel into a 2009 appearance on “Real Housewives” when she hosted a party for the reality star.

That same year, Peter Cary Peterson, a star of Bravo’s “NYC Prep” and the grandson of the wealthy banker Peter G. Peterson, was a Social Life intern, securing Ms. Rose a cameo on two episodes. And last year Ms. Rose feuded onscreen with Tinsley Mortimer, the star of “High Society,” a show on which Ms. Rose was portrayed as a backstabbing social climber.

Despite her ubiquity, ball gown wedding dresses with long trains ball gown wedding dresses with long trains she has been largely relegated to supporting roles — most notably, the hanger-on whom no one likes.

Ms. Rose is aware of her haters, but chooses to ignore them. “I was able to come to this country and make it in the Hamptons!” she shouted, as she barreled down the Montauk Highway near Bridgehampton recently, banging on the steering wheel of her Audi A4 to the beat of Rihanna blaring on the radio. “It’s the American way!”

It was the day after she hosted a Memorial Day party for Beth Stern, the wife of the radio personality Howard Stern, whom Ms. Rose had personally profiled in Social Life’s May issue. Ms. Rose bubbled with pride as she described the celebrities at the party. There was the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jessica White and two Real Housewives, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan. When Mr. Stern showed up, spring cocktail dresses Ms. Rose said she nearly cried. “ royal blue mother of the bride dresses ;It was the highlight of my night,” she said.

The gradual seepage of reality television into the Hamptons is troubling for long-time denizens of the East End social scene. After all, the silvery-lighted stretch of potato fields and shingled architecture, once home to artists like Jackson Pollock and, today, to Hollywood royalty like Steven Spielberg, has always prided itself on not being the Jersey Shore. “Devorah made a job for herself, and a name for herself here, short evening dresses plus size short evening dresses plus size” said David Patrick Columbia, who has visited the area for nearly four decades and chronicles the lives of the well-to-do on his site, zoodress.com. “But that’ black cocktail dresses s not making it in the Hamptons.”

ON another spring day Spagetti Straps Wedding Dresses Spagetti Straps Wedding Dresses, Ms. Rose sauntered through the Garden restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel in Midtown Manhattan, her waifish silhouette accentuated by black stiletto heels and dark leggings, her short dress shifting beneath a hip-length black leather jacket. Matt Lauer glanced as she walked by.

Ms. Rose ordered an iced tea in Spanish and explained that she liked to come to the Four Seasons to write her pieces for Social Life. “I’ve always wanted to live my life like I was in a movie,” she said, picking at a plate of chicken paillard.

Her given name is Deborah Denise Trachtenberg. She switched to Devorah in high school, and the Rose came later, when she moved to New York in the late 1990s. She said she was born in Plano, Tex., and red cocktail dresse , soon after moved to Caracas, Venezuela, with her Venezuelan-born mother and Guatemalan father.
