Good column. My $69 runners have been just as good as their $189 counterparts. Better , in fact, as the expensive ones gave me plantar fasciitis. Just because it costa more doesn't make it better. Learned that lesson early in life and it serves me well.
The chemicals in some perfume can dull a person's sense of smell so they use enough to stink up the whole town. For people who can tell a toxic perfume from a non-toxic perfume (because the toxic perfume practically knocks them out) the smell of a nice, expensive, non-toxic perfume can be very welcome.
There are two very rich celebrities I admire. Shaq is one of them. The other is also involved in basketball. Both understand that selling a lot of something to a lot of nobodies is better than selling a few of something for a lot more to a few faux somebodies.
Ah - just the other day I was bemoaning the cost of perfume. Dune by Christian Dior has been my favourite perfume for over 30 years and by damn it makes me wince when I buy it - usually from a duty free shop at an airport. Brilliant article as ever, JJ. Now, following on from this piece, when can we start to see those PB&T sandwiches out there? All they need is some superstar to endorse them and you’ll be minted. Keep me posted and when you make it big, don’t forget your friend here in England.

BK Knights were all the rage back in my day...very briefly. Hated them. Addidas old skool all the way. Fuck crocs.
