Plutocracy in its finest dress
I must say that after only working a couple of weeks at the Sheraton Oceanfront, I have indeed witnessed more "privileged events" than my eyes have ever graced in my entire life. It was almost similar to watching a watered-down version of some celebrity charity event. All of these throwback dresses and stiff suits and snooty attitudes...I had a carving knife and a braising fork in my hand...It could have been deadly. All of those dresses reeked of Chico's and Karen Eagle and whatever in the hell Hilltop had to offer. I would look a them, chuckle to myself as I dated their dress to their "celebrity inspiration". We had a couple of Reese Witherspoons circa 2003, a 60's throwback that looked like a "sequin monster's" throw up in a purse that was a bad rendition of Twiggy, a couple of Jackie Onassis look-a-likes, and plenty of oversized pearls. This was an engagement party that cost them an estimated 60,000 bucks. I asked the technician if he was doing good and he immediately stated, "For $6,000 you would think this technology would work." I replied (in my head),"Keep up the great work...I never knew colored lights were that expensive" and smiled. I was kinda glad it was dark, those blinking lights would have most certainly given me a seizure. Oh the Haute Monde and their fancy ways. What would us poor folk do without them???
