Like yachts (there's my sly dig :)?
Not like yachts at all. At least they're fit for purpose. It's crazy to use cashmere for socks, because it's not durable enough. Jumpers or coats or scarves, fine. Glove linings, even. But not socks. And all that hand washing! Doesn't bear thinking about.
I suppose this type of thing only happens in America right?
No people in other countries engage in this behaviour, right?
Please note:
the Ivy (a famously exclusive restaurant in London), where we ate surrounded by celebs no doubt all wearing their everyday cashmere socks.
The difference being that she said cashmere socks were quite normal. At least in Britain, as far as I'm aware, you'd have to be too rich and stupid for your own good (and have someone to do your washing) to consider buying such an absurdity.
As an aside, the Queen's house always seemed a bit extravagant for my tastes. In fact, the whole concept of nobility always seemed incredibly stupid and pointlessly extravagant to me, but I guess it works for "you people".
Not for me, mate. Something else we agree on.
Shes never interfered with me. I have no complaints about her.
Same here.
Mega ditto.
I met her once and I found her to be a nice lady. Not kookey in any way.
Penta has always been gracious, kind and very sane in all my interactions with her.
