about that outfit (getting snarky)

ah it's true summertime is coming to an end and with that day care has restarted.....I mean school has resumed which means just maybe I will publish more my dear readers.

Last night my wife and I took our daughter to the movies (crazy rich aspen--no asians).  There were a bunch of 9th graders in line ahead of us rocking a lot of Gucci and Louie V.  One girl in particular turned my daughter and wife's head----I saw a kid in lulu leggings, a tee shirt, ugly jacket and tennis shoes.  They saw a girl in balenciaga shoes, louis vuitton supreme tee shirt, gucci printed hoodie and lulu leggings and started doing the math for me.

Grand total is about $4k (before tax) for leggings, tee shirt, tennis shoes (ugly) and jacket hoodie (really ugly).

I am trying my best not to be judgy---and I am struggling.  I will leave my snarky comments (mostly) unsaid.

I will note that on the front page of today's Aspen Times, SkiCo announced that they raised their minimum wage to $13.30.  I will do the math for you dear readers---after the approximately 10% bump in the base ski co wage, that employee would only have to work 352 hours (or 9 forty hour work weeks) to buy their 14 year old daughter a matching outfit.

Tension in this town and country.  You betcha.
