That is the question

I don't begrudge anyone nice things or new clothes. I like new things too.

What doesn't sit well with me is when people feel entitled to things, especially things that are outrageously priced in order to keep others from even thinking of buying them.

The woman who tweets that her belt is a Salentino, her shoes are Gargantuan alligator, and her purse is a King Midas original strikes me as a name dropper, a snob, a nouveaux riche, and an entitled ass.

If  she has nothing better to do with her time than list the maker of each item of clothing, she needs a more purposeful life. Perhaps she could save time by just wearing the price tags dangling from them like Millie Pearl did -- of course that was just part of her act, not a real discourse on who she was.

Wear anything you like. If you can afford it and it pleases your eye, or the way it touches your skin, or the beautiful way it fits you. Even if it just makes you feel better, then go ahead! Wear it as long as no one was abused in the making of it.

I suppose if name dropping gets you a big discount,  you need to do it, but then, doesn't it kind of ruin it when you think of yourself as a walking commercial commodity?
