Diplomatic Circles
By: Vickie J. Rubinson
Angelina Jolie won't be there. Either will Claudia Schiffer. But there will be hundreds of world diplomats sludging through the thick snow in Davos this week. But after partying hard for the past five years, the world economy is suddenly looking more sick and tired than a Davos delegate on a Saturday morning after Google's big shindig.
"There will still be parties, but not as many as in previous years," said a source at the forum.
"Things have changed now. The economy is on a down turn."
The meeting rooms and hotel bedrooms are more cramped and less luxurious than most executives usual fare and the journey to and from the resort can be hellish for those without a helicopter.
"You all come together in a very confined place-relaxed atmosphere-not to mention the fine wine and huge portions of fondue. It gets delegates in the mood to talk."
Mood to talk? I'm there!
"Anyone looking mildly suspicious or missing their security pass will not gain entry," said a member of the Davos security team. "We don't tolerate party-crashers here."
Humm....too bad!
