Um, thank you. That's very nice. I thought I was being sort of tongue-in-cheek about being hot lo these many years, but I guess I was not doing a very good job. So, here is a secret that I may delete later:

I really don't that I am hot because I was in a Snap on Tools Calendar. I just think it is funny. Don't tell patentpara. Many thanks
But, see, the thing is you are hot. You can lord it over the rest of us... :D

BTW, we've doing bag rotations for about half an hour a workout at our boot camp for the last two weeks, and there were hints yesterday that we might be moving to real sparring soon, quite possibly tomorrow.

The other members of the bootcamp are my brother and my sister. I'm getting really excited that the first person I'll get to legitimately punch is a sibling.

This could go really, really well or really, really terribly. But I am excited about actually boxing with someone other than a bag.

Needless to say, they were all gay.

You know, one of the byproducts of having my entire social life centered around the arts is that the people I hang out with pretty much run the gamut income wise. I'll spend hours at a bar with an oil equipment company owner who could blow ppnyc's investment bankers out of the water in terms of his wealth, an artist who works the counter at Einstien bagles every morning who is over the moon excited about the fact he can afford $200 a month for studio space, a woman who is Beyonce's manager, and a woman who runs a PR company for restuarants out of her home who makes about the same as I do. Ultimately, our relative incomes don't really matter. Artists need patrons and patrons need artists. We all share a passion for art and for having fun, and we're all interesting people. That's all that really matters in a group of people with such disparate incomes.

I went to Hawaii with the mortgage guy above a few years ago on one of his company's annual reward trips for the top mortgage brokers in the country. One night, we went to a dinner with all of the other winners from our region, and the only thing that the bankers could talk about was the stuff they've bought since the last time they got together. Cars, watches, clothes, the additions on the house. It was one of the most tedious discussions I've ever sat in on. And it's not because I'm not materialistic. I'm a fan of beautiful things. I love great design, and I generally can't afford my tastes. But it was clear that these guys were buying things because they were expensive, not because they were beautiful or interesting. It was a competition for who could spend the most money, who could drop the most brand names. I was so relieved when my friend and I went back to the hotel and he told me how bored he was with the discussion too.
I think one of the vast misconceptions about an on line persona is that people don't have depth or are very "one track" like it is perceived that I think it is cool to sit around and discuss the latest toys or I revere people like that.

Like anyone, I move easily among circles of wealthy and not so wealthy people. I am equally at ease with the banker hedge type as I am the Starbucks guy which we discussed his band. We live in an area that there is great disparity in the allocation of wealth. There is chafing and static from the locals re the new developments going up.

Truly...I like to shop I like beautifully cut, well tailored clothes. I rock a classic look. But at the end of the day, the people in your life, your family, your kids, your non people your pets the realtionships you establish with your colleagues these are what sustain you and make it interesting. And no, having a vast amount of wealth doesn't make you a better person, or more interesting.

It is all the more objectionable that it seems to have derived from consultants. If there is a group of people who contribute less to the overall benefit of society than lawyers, it surely is consultants. So far as I can tell, consultants are the people who could not pass a legal writing class, because they write only in cliches. Yet they make money because they manage to smile and convince people that the bullshit exiting their mouths actually contributes to the corporate bottom line. They have, despite their regular vapidity, managed to persuade companies to part with significant sums of money in exchange for the same tired advice. Do lawyers do the same thing? Sometimes. But at least corporate lawyers fill the role of helping to create value through implementing corporate strategy, and litigators are merely protecting corporate value from the leaches like Pony. Even paralegals contribute value to this effort.

BTW, if you're a consultant: suck it. It's friday.

The corporate banner that used to greet me in my firm's lobby taught me that, "At the end of the day, there is no end of the day."

Did you provide consulting services for that ad campaign, burger?

Hey! Lay off those who buy clothes at Target. I like their underwear. I'm wearing their Xhileration brand microfiber bikini (lime green) right now, and they're the only ones who carry the cami tops that I like. Everyone else puts a stupid shelf bra in cami tops. Shelf bras are thoroughly and completely inadequate to hold these puppies up, and shelf bras are stupid if you're wearing a regular bra. I probably wear cami tops purchased at Target three or four days a week under whatever other blouse I'm wearing.

And I love their jewelry section. I end up wearing great stuff that none of my friends have because it doesn't occur to them to troll Target for funky jewlery. I'd name drop the people who've complimented me on Target purchased jewelry, but that'd be gauche.
Two points:

(1) I love, love, love their tee shirts and exercise clothes.

(2) I am a big fan of the shelf bras. They seem to be falling out of favor (remember a couple of years ago they were in, like, every brand's tanks and in a variety of types? sigh.). They are perfect for us b-cup types.

The representatives on this board notwithstanding, Toronto is a freaking Benneton commercial.

Actually, Precious, she is wealthy. And if you're making what some associates are, that makes you wealthy too. Her income puts her in the top 3 or 4 percent of American households. That's right, Princess. Households. If you don't think she's wealthy, or you don't think between you and your husband you're wealthy, then I suggest you turn your Thomas Pink shirts and your Bergdorf bras and your fucking handbags over to the Salvation Army or some prgram set up to help homeless or poor people dress well enough to get a job paying $7 bucks an hour, shag your pampered little ass to Wal-Mart, and try survivng for 30 days on what most people in this country of ours make.

You want to go getting snide on anybody on this board because they don't make a few million a year? Fuck you. Get over yourself, your inane little shopping habit, your faked sense of superiority and stop feeling sorry for yourself because you weren't able to go to law school.

You work in a nice, clean office that's cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and let's you buy your clothes someplace other than Target. So you rub elbows with people who could buy and sell you all day long. Do you really think anybody here is impressed? We all spend a lot of time around people who are far wealthier than us. The rest of us just don't feel that we're entitled to claim some sort of special status based upon the reflected glory of their money.

You want people to lay off you. Fine. Learn to stand up on your own two legs. Make some jokes. Slam a few insults that don't involve your knowledge of what the rich folk do with their money. Learn to laugh at yourself. And most important, get it through your thick fucking skull, that WE DON'T CARE IF YOU're A PARALEGAL OR A LAWYER. The only asshole making a big deal of it is you.

My fucking God, girl. Lose the attitude and grow a fucking spine.

I, too am a big fan of the shelf bras. You can still get them in exercise wear (see Athleta, for example, where I spend way too much of my piddly salary), but I have not seen them in regular camis this year much at all. Alas. I join in your lament.
