BABY NEEDS NEW SHOES











A hundred grand for what look like stripper shoes? Didn’t a diamond necklace trigger the French Revolution and give the guillotine to the Jacobins?

“Billed as “the ultimate stiletto,” this pair of shoes is made of gold or platinum (your choice) and encrusted with 2,200 handset diamonds, over 30 karats total. It also features “the exquisite Stamen Fluted Heal” (sic). It also comes with extra soles, so it will never wear out. The price? £100,000. That’s $163,500 US. Got that in a size 6E?”
And talking of stripper shoes…

Now I'm sure the very rich need tax breaks. 5,000 pairs of shoes like that could seriously cripple anyone's finances.

I just didn't realize how expensive a good pair of shoes have become.

This sh*t isn't even funny anymore. People with no idea about what to do with their money. It is simply money for money's sake.

Greed is now an abstraction.

So this is the net result of Ayn Rand's selfishness.

I've been sitting here for almost 5 minutes staring at this and just don't know what to say. You've stumped me with the absurdity of this blatant excess.
