“Babe Paley was the original rare bird, the swan. She used fashion to create and inhabit a picture-perfect world, as if decadence, not ignorance, were bliss.” - Lauren Santo Domingo, in a Vogue article on shopping during a recession. Seriously.

Blech. Babe Paley was legendary, no doubt. But I can't help but think this is such a laughable comment. Is she trying to be profound?

Dear Lauren Santo Domingo will never feel the true effects of a recession. Why would anyone even ask her to comment?
