Things I hate, today

1.Rich celebs with tax shelters up the wazoo telling me I should pay more while they buy 200 million dollar yachts

2.Rich celebs with plastic surgery and personal trainers who talk about "great personalities" being most important.

3. The words "panties" (women aren't adult enough to wear underwear) and "bangs"...where did that come from?

4. Expensive cars from europe with bumper stickers that say "buy locally"

5. Expensive cars from europe with bumper stickers that say "live simply so others can simply live"

6. Vogue Magazine's puff piece on Assad of Syria's lovely wife. This is like doing a piece on the beauties of the Third Reich.

7. Vogue magazine on general principle these days.

8. Real Simple magazine's overpriced suggestions, I mean what could be "simpler" than a $230 bottle of trendy Bond perfume? Putzes.

9. Facebook ads, what the hell is a "Kanga-room" and why should I click on that link?

Now do I have trouble with splashy euro-cars? No. I do have trouble with posh trendies telling me to scale back and with fashionistas who believe that high priced garbage is "simple" or necessary. My husband tells the story of having to attend a "buy local and save energy" talk from someone who "flew all over the country" to give this advice. The person did not see a contradiction. Like Al Gore with his new palace and yacht expecting the home of the future to have old glass washboards. Ugh.
