On July 30, 2026, Time magazine transformed a humble Brooklyn pencil factory into the Batcave for internet fame, throwing its second annual Time100 Creators cocktail party. The unofficial monarch of this realm was Alix Earle, holding court with endless photo shoots and red carpet interviews, while the rest of us mere creators queued for bathroom selfies and caviar appetizers discreetly strapped to servers’ hips like secret agents. The guest list was a who’s who of phone-screen royalty including Vivian Tu aka 'Your Rich BFF,' A24’s Backrooms director Kane Parsons, TikTok titan Wisdom Kaye, Love Island’s Maura Higgins, and executives from Whalar, Kickstarter, and OpenAI lurking amongst the Target-sponsored freebie scavengers. DJ played nonstop till 9 PM, but no one danced – they were busy pretending to network over noise levels that could compete with a toddler’s birthday party. Comedy creators Martin Andrijasevic and Lucas Lopez had to psych themselves up twice to hit the red carpet – because nothing screams bonding like collective terror at social events. When asked who they wanted to meet next time? The hope was unanimous: 'Maybe next year!'

Alix Earle photobombing every corner while servers moonlight as caviar cartel members has officially raised the influencer bar to Mafia levels.
Nothing screams 'productive networking' like shouting over an open bar and strategically avoiding eye contact in a former pencil factory.
