You claim old money people don't get their boobs done and do certain other things, but that is total bullshit. I mean, how the fuck do you explain the most recent installment of the Bachelor if that's true? And don't try to tell me it's because the Firestone's aren't "old money." In this young country, they're about as "old money" as you can get.
I'm not saying this proves "classy" people get boob jobs, I'm just saying the distinction between what "classy" people do and don't do is largely irrelevant in the 21st Century.

Now we are seguing into a convo on class. Makes you wish DS would stop beating the dead horse and finally say goodbye to gogowolf and come here where she belons.
First off, class and classy are probably unrelated terms. I dont know what classy means bc I have never used it but I suspect it means what taste looks like to people who dont have it. Class has a couple of meanings. It means ones position in society. As in "what class is your family from"? Kind of like the official class system in England or the Caste system of India. Or it can mean, you "have class". Which means you have taste, elegance, modesty and you disdain flashiness.
Now that the definitions are out of the way, lets talk semantics.
when I posted about classy people not hving fake tits, I was first off mocking those who use the word classy, which is just crassy, as well as mocking those who get fake tits. Because I usually mock more than one group of people with a sentence. Its more efficient for me taht way. If you have read me, you might have gotten this by now.
But I also meant to infer that people of class dont have fake tits in the sense of the second definition of class- meaning that fake tits are not modest, tasteful, elegant and unflashy accessories, but the opposite across the board. BUT, my schtick here is old money. And Burberry and Jamaica. I know that not everyone is either able to succintly define class, or at least understand my defnitions of it, So folks might jump to the old money definition (and I may have mentioned it in the first post before SEbby got into Greenwich- if I was being obvious about exploiting the duality of the term) . I was also testing Sebby's class by seeing whether he would say "classy" seriously or if he got the joke. I would think that people here who know the schtick but dont know me, which is probalby most of you, would think I was using the old money meaning exclusively. And while I agree that most old money people probably arent going around doing this to themselves, I also acknowledge that the current young gerneation is not at all like their forebears. I mean, we have Paris and Nicky Hilton and their bimbo mother. Pure trash. Yet old money. But completely without class in the second definition of the term.
I hope this clears things up (but suspect it might make no sense to anyone but me, which is too bad)
