Bling it on...
One of the first indicators that an acquaintance has recently
skipped several pay grades and is now a debutante member
of the monied classes is their sudden acquisition of an array
of designer accessories, inevitably coupled with an inability to
flaunt them judiciously. We’re not talking a discreet Bulgari
Serpenti bag or an occasional whiff of Coco Chanel here. No,
the said recently-minted mate will instead invest in a head-to-
toe haute couture makeover, complete with designer outfits,
expensive imported footwear and limited-edition personal
luggage. Some of their ensembles may even match.
Sassy on social media...
Far from sated by merely flaunting their fecund finances
to those in immediate proximity, such novice nouveaus will
inevitably chronicle every minute of their wilfully extravagant
existence on every possible social media feed. They’ll
Instagram their tastelessly-indulgent décor, Facebook their
foreign shopping sprees and WeChat a wanton night where
the wine bill alone might have bankrupted one of the world’s
poorer nations. When you have that much lucre lurking in
your current, after all, how could anything really be fun if it’s
not instantly shared with every one of your 200,000 online
followers? The fact that every single one of them hates you
and memes many of your pics into caustic critiques of your
vapid lifestyle is, of course, wholly immaterial.
