Over at The Washington Post, Barbara Ehrenreich feels terrible, just terrible about the problems of the super-rich, who can’t dress the way they want to. She describes a New Yorker profile of Daphne Guinness

… who is apparently best known for wearing clothes, which she draws from a wardrobe of 2,500 garments, 450 pairs of shoes and 200 handbags. On the day she was interviewed, she wore … “a pave diamond brooch,” silver sheaths on two of her fingers and “custom-made sparkly silver Mary Janes, with a three inch platform under the toe” — not the heel, the toe. Well, to each her own, but she might as well walk around Manhattan wearing a sign saying “My husband stole your pension.”
