Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Are people with both the means and the inclination to hobnob with the Dalai Lama likely to be reading Marie Claire?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I do want matching luggage. It's one of the things in the "frivolous stuff I'll buy when I have enough money to buy some frivolous stuff" list. But I certainly see no reason why everyone must have it. (I currently have a random assortment of bags, some of which actually do match -- my parents bought them for me in high school -- but most of which were just things I picked up cheap when I needed a particular size bag that I didn't have. And I think it looks ugly to travel with a bunch of mismatched bags, but I'm totally aware that this is my own personal neurosis.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have to say, I don't have a real problem with the Marie Clare list. I mean, I think it's ridiculous, but it doesn't make me angry. It's aspirational and I think it knows it's ridiculous.
Me too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I couldn't read that Marie Claire article as anything other than deliberately flip. Okay, pointed and flip. It felt more like a "go out and do, don't be routine for no reason" article.

If all my luggage is black, does that count as matching?
You know, I've thought about buying matching luggage, but with the way that airlines treat luggage, why spend the money?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, wasn't it framed as "should get," not "must have"? Everyone should get a lot of money! God knows I'd like to!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I have matching luggage.
It's thirty year old purple American Tourister with pink satin lining that I got at a thrift store. I adore it.
