Secrets of the City

Be sure to check out the Amelia and Frank photos like this one.

With plush leather or crystal beads, upscale handbags remain one of the best ways for women to wear their taste — and their bank accounts — on their shoulders.

you mean their man’s bank account? also these bags are almost always hideous, especially for the ridiculous prices. I guess they’re for people who care more about pretending to be rich than about good style.

Yeah I saw that pic and it confirmed my suspicions.

Amelia is indeed a Drag Queen.

I dub her Hemelia.

The Norm Sr. story is gross, but after naively renting Happiness and Flirting with Disaster on the same night, I might be kind of numb to old people sex.

Someday, we’ll wake up and realize we live in the second Gilded Age. Who wants the $2.50 Goldfish from Raindow when The Wedge has ORGANIC fish-style crackers for $5? Why keep your house when you can finally afford a larger one with a big yard, now that the kids have moved out? How can any family haul two kids around with anything smaller than a minivan or SUV? What sane person would drink plain coffee when they can drive to Starbucks for a coffee-flavored breakfast dessert? Who would think to clean house with anything but throwaway sponges, brushes, and brooms?

Very good point. That stuff doesn’t mean you have money-it means you waste money. Do they seriously make disposable brooms? Why??

Vast prosperity.
