"The Sloane Ranger is back. This particular subset of English society in the 1980s — young upper-class women who spent their years between graduation and marriage engaged in the pursuits of shopping, lunching and clubbing, and most famously personified by Lady Diana Spencer — is having a bit of a resurgence in London these days."
According to the New York Times, Sloane Rangers are the English equivalent to socialites - with a much snappier name. Like their distant cousins, the preppies, they even have their own very official handbook or guide to life, if you will.
Why have I never heard of this little culture, and where can I sign up? Just kidding. Surely after a month of spending my days shopping and lunching, I would crave a little structure and deadlines ... right? Right?
