I try not to be smug. Then I come across stories such as this piece in the New York Post (I know, I know...) about how the wives of I-Bankers have to fire their interior designers because of economic concerns and cut other corners. Granted, they swear they're not poor (heaven forbid!) they just need to make a few changes.
Trophy wives being who they are, perhaps they could organize a benefit or a luncheon in order to continue supporting their local artisans?
