* david hugo desmarais ,FORBES. VOGUE. PARIS REVIEW. BEGUILING. DISARMING. ENTRANCING.You've seen his face somewhere, absolutely. He's the man who's appeared on the cover of Forbes just as often as he's been shirtless in a Vogue op-ed. His arrival in LA was heralded by the sight of his frantic PA darting around town hunting down beachfront property, shipping in authentic Tiffany glasswork, comparing slabs of marble for foyer floors, and pulling together an immaculate art deco interior. Now he's gracing red carpets and VIP parties, impenetrable smile driving starlets and fashionistas to distraction. His friends he barely understands as friends, single-mindedly concerned as they are in becoming beneficiaries of his funds and recipients in his charitable ambitions. He barely keeps his lovers closer, for the circles that he comes to run in tend to push the same type of woman towards him again and again. Peculiarity intrigues him, catches him makes him want to stay a little longer. He want what is outside the small, small world he has been pushed into by his family name. He keeps quiet, he keeps to himself, he keeps his life in order. As such his enemies can barely scratch the surface any more than those closest to him do. A type of forced, protracted exile, he's relinquished all his claims for friendship, undeserving of what little kindnesses he's shown, undesiring of all the deceit his class forces him to endure. For all the beautiful gilt circles he finds himself a part of, few can say they really know what David Desmarais is capable of.

I could see him either getting along well with or really disliking Annie. They're both heirs to a lot of money, and have grown up with families that have had no time for or interest in them, and have spent a lot of time at various benefits and society do's. But they are also very fundamentally different - firstly, she's new money, which I don't know how snobbish he is about, and secondly, she's dealt with her isolation from her family by becoming very irresponsible and unreliable. She is, however, very willing to splash the cash, so maybe he could be trying to convince her to donate money to one of his causes? And (reading your history) if David spent time at Oxford, maybe they would have met on the London social scene even? Just some ideas... Whilst I don't think David would be Annie's type romantically, I could see them ending up either friends, sort of awkward fake friends (Annie would have a hard time pretending to like someone if she really didn't like them, but she is generally quite easygoing), or even sort of frustratedly disliking each other, but keep ending up at the same events kind of thing? Let me know what you think.

I think that the interactions between our characters would be an interesting space in which to explore the new/old money conflict, and the ways in which those people construct personalities and friendships around their wealth. I don't think David would remember Annie if they met in London, though when he was at school he more or less encloistered himself in his studies (French & English literature). His PA probably knows who Annie is, and I'm sure David has reached out to her for donations. But David will definitely be at the Museum, once I finish this intro! We'll see how they get along.
