LOL! I was reading the comments and spotted your post right away. 🙂
Good point about people being judged by their appearance, making an incredibly expensive belt “worth it” if they perhaps land a better job or get other tangible benefits because of it.
Personally, I think it’s idiotic to spend that kind of money on a belt or a purse, but there are enough people who clearly disagree with my perspective, for which, I’m sure, the fashion industry is exceedingly grateful.
Disgusting. Personally, I’m beginning to think that the excrement needs to be swept out from the top down. Between this and gross abuse of stop-and-frisk, if this kind of insanity is a matter of policy, Ray Kelly (soon to be a civilian after Mayor Bloomberg leaves) should be criminally indicted on Federal civil rights and racketeering charges. In addition to being totally wrong, this kind of publicity gives NYC and the NYPD a terrible name.
Wouldn’t be the first commissioner to be locked up — his illustrious predecessor (and one-time Dzerzhinsky of Iraq), Bernie Kerik was sent to Club Fed for a few years on corruption charges.
