Here’s what nobody on Reddit wants to say out loud: Guest lists at places like Raspoutine aren’t about “capacity” — they’re about CURATING a look.⁴ ¹ If you’re not a model, influencer, or rolling six deep with women in designer heels, you’re not getting in. Period. Promoters on Hollywood Blvd will take your name, text you a confirmation, and then watch the doorman wave you away without blinking. The whole system runs on social currency, and if you don’t have it? Enjoy your Uber back to your Airbnb. Don’t shoot the messenger.
