This person is the face of the poster for Satanism.

She has been doing it for decades and profits greatly from it.

With her last money making project sidelined because of the pandemic and the one before that killed by public outrage (although she did get paid half), she has now commandeered a compound off the coast of Africa where the elite from Europe are gathering for “lessons.”

Nairobi, Kenya, Lamu Island

Just a one-hour flight from Nairobi, Kenya, Lamu Island (specifically, its Shela village) is attracting a portion of the art-world elite and global “affluencers” seeking to continue life—and culture—uninterrupted during the pandemic.

Zero masks are worn indoors and outdoors, a quarantine is not required upon entry, and there are no coronavirus I.C.U.’s on the island. The only thing you need to do to get to Lamu is show proof of a negative test, a policy that, incredibly, has kept it almost entirely coronavirus-free.

Obviously, it’s gorgeous—white beaches, crystalline waters, palm trees, and so on. The island lies on the edge of the continent, not far from Somalia, with the occasional Somali-pirate abduction threat. The relative risk just adds to the charm.

It’s also pretty conservative—local women wear hijabs or burkas at all times and rarely venture into the sea, and the muezzin prays every sunrise at full volume. There are no roads or cars, just donkeys. Most houses have no glass windows, only holes in the walls and mosquito nets. Twenty years ago there were elephants here.

None of that seems to bother the hundreds of posh visitors that have flocked there since the start of the pandemic, some permanently, to swim and snorkel in the day and to launch and attend art exhibitions, film screenings, and raves into the night. The few who are trying to keep day jobs working remotely from Lamu are quickly making the island a poster child for (pre-scandal) WeWork.

Visitors feed local donkeys carrots with great enthusiasm, some, such as Lola Bute, daughter of Cardiff Castle’s Marquess of Bute, constantly posting their Marrakech-style poses on Instagram—without tagging the location. (Plausible deniability.) There’s a certain fear of getting caught here, especially if you’re from Europe and your compatriots are weeks into their third lockdown. Sourdough, anyone?

Among those who own houses on the island are Nicholas Logsdail, O.B.E., owner of Lisson Gallery, and Chris Hanley, who produced Buffalo ’66 in 1998. Princess Caroline of Monaco built the renowned Beach House in Shela and restored three villas. Heiress Jemima Goldsmith and ex-husband Imran Khan, the current Pakistani prime minister, send their sons here.
