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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

You know, if he ever hurts you, true love won't desert you.
It's ok...I welcome him back...with open arms.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The last piece of luggage I bought cost almost as much as the plane ticket of the trip I bought it for. But it's great luggage, and is guaranteed for life, even for airline-caused damage. So if I buy a new piece of luggage, I hope to be able to afford it matching.
