Entourages

[poliphilo]

Another thing I don't really get are entourages.

To be followed everywhere you go by people who aren't doing it because they like you but because you're paying them to be at your beck and call- and never to have a moment to yourself- that would drive me crazy. Listen, I don't need someone to fetch me a cup of tea or file my nails for me; I can do those things for myself; it's even good for me; it's exercise...

Rich people spend their money on the weirdest things.

Oddly enough, just today I was telling my piano teacher about this longstanding pipe dream...

I love the idea of having a chauffeur, even if the car he or she drives is an old clunker. I could never see why a rich person would buy a car for more than $100,000 every year or so and drive it him or herself. If I had that kind of cash, I'd hire a part-time chauffeur right now.

Ailz loves driving and I don't have a licence so you might say I already have a live-in chauffeur...

private orchestra is housed in the cellar under the Great Hall- and their music filters up through cunningly concealed vents.
