how do you define relevancy?

"send me some cytherian cheese so that if i wish to have a feast i may have the means."

the "design & luxury" edition of the new york times style magazine arrived yesterday...above anything else they publish this magazine puts the lie to their contention that they are non-elitist...i have been perusing it and wondering if anyone naturally aspires to this sort of thing or if it is engineered...and, in the end, finding most of its contents irrelevant to my existence because i do not...

i am certain it is the "studio" residence ( not "apartment" or "condominium" ) that is $1,800,000 and that the "penthouse" is somewhere in the tens of millions... the fine print at the bottom says the "waldorf astoria" name could be pulled at any time...so much for the permanence of status...

not to worry however, if the name gets yanked youcan always go to your less expensive second home...

where you can get hammered...

because you are terrified of growing old...because we all know you can't take it with you and what's life without designed luxury and the status it confers?

there are photos of couture here as well...there always are...however, since this is the "luxury" edition i cannot give you a total cost...the clothing is virtually all listed as "price on request" ( "if you have to ask you can't afford it" )...still...striking design...

the last photo is from an ad for the furinitue displayed...the photo begs the question, "what is luxurious about someone in ludicrous couture ripping up my books?
