It seems like every time I open The New York Times style section, I see a photograph of a woman who is identified as Tinsley Mortimer. Because her name is so very odd, I guess she's become familiar to me in that "not so familiar" sort of way -- like the guy you always see at the coffee shop who you don't actually know, but do you know he likes his cappuccino dry.

It turns out that Tinsley Mortimer is, as I expected, some kind of super-socialite. It's unclear to me why she's a socialite, but a number of articles have referenced her "signature blond curls" and her "line of designer handbags." According to socialrank.com, Mortimer is currently number two on the social charts, which is a calculation based on society appearances and publicity presence. Even still, being called a "socialite" on the society pages doesn't really tell me anything specific about her.

So I'm putting this question to you, dear reader: Who is Tinsley Mortimer?
