I was looking up rich people clothes - I wanted my characters to wear something swisher than Sainsburys, so I started on a list of By Appointment To the royals - and
even rich people clothes apparently only go up to a size 16.

Imagine having £500 to drop on this season's coat and you still can't bloody find anything to spend it on as fits.

Ridiculous.

Imagine having £500 to have a simple white t-shirt arranged to fit perfectly. You don't wanna know how much the coat will be.

I tried to imagine/fantasise interior design with "money no object" as a guide
and I failed

like with MarySue and stuff, I never could do it

I REALLY WANT TO. Everyone says it's so much fun
and I can't
seem to

I keep going back to practical considerations, and I try to make them fancier and fancier and I just get stuck on practical rather than extravagant design

my money no object daydreams keep ending up with more chairs like we inherited from grandma, even though there's plenty fancier out there. they're good to sit on and have lasted my whole life so far, so why not stick with them?

and I was looking at mansions on zoopla today and some had gigantic displays of art like I've seen in galleries, and it just made the space seem like something not meant for people, much less living in.

so practical seems good too
even if fancy is fun.

Exactly! I'm sure with money you can make cosy, but the "display" houses getting photographed - especially those for magazines or for selling - they just feel blah.


I saw a giant aquarium over the bed. Like those tunnels you walk through to feel under water? BUT it doesn't seem nice to actually sleep under, and one wonders how that SMELLS, and are the fish okay with the weird shape, etc etc. In short: I can't do fancy. ALSO! many of these people have space and equipment for parties of many people, and here's what, if I had money I'd spend it on a very tall fence, not a bowling alley indoors. It's a personality thing, I guess.
