Newsworthiness

There is definitely something to be said for not being absurdly rich and famous. One big benefit that I can think of is that Cosmo will never want to write about me. And I hope I can keep it that way. Take, for example, that Taylor Swift chick. She’s reached that ridiculous level of fame where she could record herself farting and distribute it to radio stations and they’d all play it over and over again. And then she’d go on a world tour.’ So of course Cosmo wants to write all about her as often as they can. They ran something not long ago that went into great detail about the outfit she wore when she went out in public recently, right down to the accessories, which included a purse that cost more than $3,000. And in the pictures of her the purse didn’t look any different than the purses my mother would pay $10 for at Montgomery Ward. I wondered if the fact that she was the kind of celebrity who could and would pay more than $3,000 for a damn purse is why Cosmo deemed her as newsworthy But I bet that after Taylor Swift paid more than $3,000 for her new purse, she still had plenty of money left to put in it. I bet it wasn’t anything like the time I bought a money clip from a street vendor. After I paid him for it, all I had was an empty clip. So I’m confident that Cosmo will continue to be disinterested in me as long as I keep buying most of my wardrobe at Target and Costco, since Montgomery Ward no longer exists.
