Hopefully, the silk is handspun and the dragon hand embroidered, too! Ha, ha!
I think when some people start mixing in certain circles their sense of reality goes kerplunk! I was thinking that when I was watching Oprah one time ... she who I generally admire 'cos she's usually all for supporting the poor and disenfranchised, having come from a poor background herself. She admonished the audience that you can't get a supportive bra for $10. Umm, Target bras are pretty much the same thing as the Vicky's Secret ones at a fraction of the price! (Yeah, I know they probably come from China, but the point is they are available).
Another time she was talking about bed linens and how it's not only necessary to buy new pillows etc. on a regular basis, but she likes her sheets changed every two days for that crisp, fresh feeling (while making the point it was a good, hygienic habit to get into). Wake up Oprah ... remember the days when buying new pillows didn't override the need for groceries, and you didn't have a maid and were too busy trying to keep up with work and chores to have time to change bed sheets every two days?
