Word. I just started performing recently, and it became clear within the first rehearsal that if I couldn’t hear my own guitar, I couldn’t do shit. Not sure why that surprised me, but it made monitors go from theoretical to MISSION CRITICAL.

Yuuuup. My mom grew up lower-middle-class and has money now, but she always taught me that giant logos are tacky as fuuuuck. And she’s currently rocking a logo-free Brahmin that I’m OBSESSED with. Sometimes we walk past the Michael Kors displays and UGH at the giant logos because we are elitist bitches.
I’m a luxury WHORE and I cannot stand Tiffany branding on things.
I love it. I have the Lady bag. My only complaint is that it is a literal black hole, and I inevitably end up standing outside my apartment for ten minutes rifling through it to find my keys. But I feel like it’s one of those things where the rest of me can look like shit, but it’s so classy looking that it kind of…
The unfortunate truth is that 95% of the population, particularly those who scream “lip sync” don’t understand the technical challenges of music, any music in an outside venue. Or, any venue for that matter.
Old money buys things to last, and wears them out. So you see sweaters with patches on them at the elbows that were not applied at a factory, but put on after the elbows gave out. Not the same as cardboard in shoes, but resoling or reheeling a pair of shoes they like? Very common. Joanna’s right about the return to…
Ugh, I hate the attempts to turn brand names into designs. They NEVER look good. Louis Vuitton is probably the worst. Barf.
Don’t go to Coach.
How fucking dare she?! I bet she was going to use the force of law to steal your guns, religious freedom, homophobia, islamophobia and misogyny too.
I was about 8/9 of the way done before I realized that I didn’t care and never did care about this. You turned what I thought was a blasé topic into something I enjoyed. Thanks.
Ugh. Or those horrid Louis Vuitton bags. My boss has a huge one and I can’t gather why. She’s usually pretty conservative in what she wears/carries (no other gauche logos), but I think she and her husband are both new money. That sounds tacky and it is, but it’s also true.
At least your family likes something somewhat tasteful like MK whereas mine still thinks Vera Bradley paisley garbage is the height of class.
I was actually at tj maxx with my mom yesterday and I swear to god EVERY OTHER FUCKING PURSE was michael kors and they were all ugly as fuck with the huge shiny hardware. I don’t fucking get it. How that shit became anything resembling a ‘status bag’ I will never know.
I will never understand the MK bag thing. Almost every female member of my extended family carries them, including people who could 100% afford nicer shit. My aunt asked me if the minimal Mansur Gavriel bag that I saved up for fucking ever for was MK the last time I saw her. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my…
My mom always said the visible label was the price of the discount you got for giving them the free adverstising. The Coach bags with the huge Cs are cheaper than the traditional simple leather ones.
And it’s not like I’m old money. My dad wore cardboard over the holes in his shoes.
Are Tiffany bracelets still “a thing”? They are so early 2000's. The only people who still wear these are people like my cousin from Kentucky where all trends are about 10 years behind everywhere else and Tiffany is still a sign of being classy.
You’re not the last.
What’s really cringy are those horrible Michael Kors bags with the door knocker MK medals hanging off them. Lady, that bag is canvas and there is a bin of them at TJ Maxx for $55. Take it down a notch.
I think this Tiffany shit with the name imprinted on it is so tacky that I blush when I see someone wearing it, out of sheer embarrassment for them. I feel the same way about every overpriced piece of logo shit, which probably makes me the last dinosaur on earth to feel this way.
