[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question, why do some of you see posts like this and feel the need to respond like “How gauche! Why, my old money grandmama would never allow this! I’d much rather be in the country with the dogs!”

No one cares. You don’t get an award because your version of aspirational is different from someone else’s.[/quote]
Agree - the point is to have a little fun, and these people are so threatened! And like, if you have to say it….[/quote]

I think the country horse/dog/old money people are being facetious? I hope? Like just playing with the DCUM trope of everyone wanting to look like they've been rich forever and feeling terrified of being caught not having generational wealth.[/quote]

I had assumed they were trying to be playful and make jokes too. Why else would they read and post on the beauty forum?[/quote]

The beauty forum posts show up on the general feed, so people who click on a post aren't necessarily regular readers. But some read the beauty forum regularly as a form of sociological study. I personally am interested in fashion much more then beauty. For myself., if I had the kind of money that allowed me to spend my time on self-improvement, I'd use it on activities (like hiking my estate in Scotland and horseback riding) and a personal trainer to help me maintain fitness, not on injections, treatments or surgeries. Although I would hire a stylist to help me find fantastic clothes for when I did needed to dress up. I would not parade around in spandex like these characters do, no matter how fit I was, because I don't find that comfortable. I also don't view this look as "high status." At all. It's super interesting to me that some do. [/quote]
