    Why all the hate? I am inspired by lazy/rich balance she's struck. And she makes a point about the poors and money -- when you don't make a lot of money, the best way to have it "work" for you, is not to spend it in the first place. I say that without any malice because I myself am a member of the poors.

    @vampirebris: I thought that was in the creative underclass rulebook. As a card-carrying member of the poors who blogs, freelances five, six days a week, the very idea of an 11-year period of writer's block --! -- on top of that creamy lazy/rich bragadoccio is just de trop.

    Of course you are right, though. If we were to cross the divide and become at one with the jetsetera, we would sell out just as quickly as the editors at Spy magazine. It's just human nature (said with tongue in cheek; sorta).

    What the fuck does Fran Lebowitz know about managing money, or, for that matter, a hard days work. "I've never met anyone who even comes close to me in laziness," Ms. Lebowitz told The New York Times in 1994. Her entire "literary output" is a thin gruel indeed. Aside from two books of sardonic essays slapped together rather hastily, her entire professional accomplishment appears to consist wholly of her being famously surly at swishy parties.

    As if that passes for wit.

    What would Frannie do if not for the lagniappe of her generous friends Si Newhouse and the late Malcolm Forbes and, last but not least, Andy Warhol.

    @RonMwangaguhunga: Well, she did drive a cab once, before she got on that gravy train forever, as a jet set mascot. At least she's honest about her laziness.

    She really is surly though. I had read her first book as a teen, and 20 years ago, passed her on Fifth Ave. I guess I had a naive smile, she could sense my recognition and made hacking, phlegmy sounds, like a growling warning she'd expectorate on me if I dared say anything to her. A charming lady.

    @RonMwangaguhunga: Fran Lebowitz has been one of the funniest people alive for something like 30 years. And I'm pretty sure she's a lesbian. Do you know what a challenge that is? And how much work it takes? It's like a paraplegic becoming a long-distance runner, and holding the championship for decades. So don't be dissing Frannie until you've loafed a few hours in her shoes. While chain-smoking.

    @ShanghaiLil: The reason you're only "pretty sure" she's a lesbian is because she's never actually come out of the closet. Which is probably her version of good money management.

    @forwardmotion: No, the reason I'm only "pretty sure" she's a lesbian is that I don't think she's had sex since 1983. She was too busy smoking. So it's more a difference of "in theory" vs. "in practice" thing.
