    God, it's like I'm being baited every day. Like they are BEGGING for violent class revolution to happen in this country. Stop poking us with sticks! Give it a rest!

    I'm just waiting for the publishing industry to apply for bailout money so they can continue lunching at Michael's and making book deals -- deals that will undoubtedly lose money in the end --with no tal flavors of the month like this beeyotch.

    Hm, she's basically a first-wave-feminist Carrie Bradshaw with stronger political convictions, who now makes awesome photographs like this:



    Why all the schadenfreude?

    @Solomon Grundy: I agree, she doesn't deserve the schadenfreude. She is a self made woman who lost her life savings because of Madoff. Of course, she IS hopelessly out of touch with how most of us live and annoyingly condescending as a result (and also she doesn't deserve a book deal), but surely there are others who deserve public hatred more. Ganging up on her is not only futile, it seems to be missing the point. Righteous indignation against fraudsters and financial villains is one thing; oversimplified hatred of anyone with a lot of money is another.

    @jiminy.peep: From her description, it sounds like she uses those sex dolls to shock and awe her rich art-buying clients in the most cliched manner imaginable.
    Scene: Chichi gallery run by wife of a still rich. Group opening for little-known local artists (who paid to hang their work). Various riches milling about with wine glasses in hand.
    Dialogue: "Oh, Muriel, have you seen Alexandra's wall of photos?! How devishly naughty! Those ghastly sex dolls used by the desperate proletariat, but with such ironic contrast! Swimming in a Palm Beach pool, dripping in diamonds and pearls. So clever and controversial! Let's order 10 prints and give them out as party favors when we open the mansion this spring."

    What the fuck am I supposed to get out of a memoir by a rich lady wailing about how awful and hopeless life is now that she's reduced to my tax bracket?

    Is it still ok for Angelina and Brad to buy cute foreign babies? Or is it even MORE ok than it was before? I predict they are going to go APESHIT and adopt entire small nations.

    As long as this results in more Popeye's chicken, I can't see how it can be a bad thing.


    That was the point of the post, right?

    "Celebrities who worry that the sight of millionaires getting freebies will rub fans the wrong way."


    I know this sounds crazy but there are actual people who don't have the IQ to get rubbed the wrong way by this. They are the same types who scream over Oprah's giveaways instead of asking "How the fuck did she get rich? Oh yeah, it's all my salivating over every word she says. Nevermind."


    And unfortunately those types are way too common.

    Does this mean that hipsters are going to have to start conspicuously wearing designer labels and vacationing in St. Barts to project that "I don't give a shit" attitude of which they're so fond?
