Things To Have, Versus...

I'm getting really nervous posting some of the pics that I do post up here, because I don't know if these are inflaming lust or something. And then some of you will go out and rob a - well, you can't do that anymore these days because banks don't have any money!

Cool. In that case we'll just keep on posting these highly materialistic and provocative pics.

You'll just have to keep your horses under a tight rein.

Unless you win the lottery or something, and then, well, out the window with all of that nonsense.

Of course, you'll have to also buy some 'friends' so that you can show off to them.

Look at me, look at me... I have expensive socks.

Wonder whose house this is?
Somebody actually lives here.
Clue.

When it comes to looking ahead and envisaging some brand perfume that will suddenly do the same thing that Evelyn & Crabtree's 'Extract of Mysore Sandalwood' did - and go from fifty bucks to five hundred and fifty bucks - well it's not all that easy to do, is it.

For one thing, in the case of E & C's very excellent product, the rising price had two important underlying forces working for it - the internet's growing global community of so-called 'frag-heads,' plus the fact that the Chinese government went and bought up almost all of the actual Mysore sandalwood plantations!

The product itself was never expensive or 'exclusive' as such although it was favored, I supposed by very discriminating tastes.

Bill and I here, we used to buy the thing all the time!

To be honest, it's not actually 'sandalwood-'dominating as such, although there is actual real Mysore Sandalwood extract in it for sure.

It's more bergamot, vanilla (lots of vanilla, high quality Madagascar vanilla), and only then, the sandalwood.

So you have genuine underlying material supply limitations to be able to factor in, and this does create clear-cut shortages and thus extreme exclusivity in the long run.

I could speculate on something in the arena of fragrances/perfumes, yes, absolutely I can do; but there is no underlying material shortages entailed this time. Not that I can necessarily see in this case.

With say, for instance, Lagerfeld's 'Photo' original line of aftershaves and colognes, the associated industrial backing companies continue to make this 'brand name' and package it not too far off the original - which was really, the campaign at least, that placed Claudia Schiffer into the spotlight first before anything else she was doing for YSL or Dior and of course, for Lagerfeld.

This is not a clue.
This is to mislead you and drive you
right off the trail!
Oh oh, look look - nice car.

The original Lagerfeld 'Photo' cologne is still regularly available here and there for around $150. It was about $20 when it first came out many decades ago.

I mean of course I could give a list of niche or designer similar kinds of things that I know will do much the same sort of thing... But in every single case you are already talking around $300 now.

Will these go to $3000? Doubtful. 800, 900, maybe a 1,000. Aw yeah. Definitely.

The trouble with posting actual lists here and especially pics, oh my god. I can just imagine some of you tossing and turning at night going, oh I must have this! 

No you must not!

Just stop it!

This is not how you make real money.

You make real real money, by yes exercising your mind into these questions - letting your mind run into the playground of such ideas!

And at first you think, aw there's nothing, and then by-and-by this notion will creep up on you and you will argue with yourself and doubt yourself and all of that. That's when you know for sure you're onto it.

Because you and me both, we have no idea. We are literally idiots. We have the right idea and we just never accept it. We go 'no, no; that's impossible/unrealistic/impractical.'

Like - we all know what 'practical' is, right?

LOL

See if I post these kinds of stoopid
pics, some of you will actually
go out and buy these stoopid things!
Ay yay yay.

See guys like Neil deGrasse Tyson, he knows what 'practical' is. He lies and cheats and steals. He's a complete knave. He's been telling everyone - and literally sneering in their faces for years: 'ha ha ha ha, there's no such thing as ET Aliens! Ha ha, you fools.'

And, he's made millions being backed by a criminal elite that wants to run your lives.

Now, today, this week, and literally actually today as well -, he's changed his tune, now that the Pentagon has admitted privately to Congress that for sure they know, there are both craft visiting here and that these are from totally non-human aka 'Alien' advanced civilizations. He's saying now 'Well if I don't know something, then I will just say I don't know.'

He's actually never said that. He said that he did know - and that 'they' don't exist.

 And he will make even more millions now lying straight out to your face.

So. That's being practical.

He's sneering and laughing because he knows that he's making money lying to you.

People who are real scientists are not going to laugh at anyone gratuitously like he does. Same goes for Harris. She's laughing because she wouldn't be able to get a real job as a competitive lawyer. These are all obvious fronts.

But they are wealthy fronts. You got to give them that.

So they are very practical people.

They don't know why people like me wear 'certain kinds of socks,' or powder blue (French blue) suede slippers, or carry folding fans even though we are guys, to concerts and operas, and Rave Music Festivals. And they don't need to know. Why should they know?

...Hey by the way, suede Charvet slippers are not the same things as Venetian er, er, er, slippers.

Okay. So the Prophet Muhammad was one time on a trip to make some trade, see, and he was not successful at all, and had more or less lost all of his money on that trip, and he met up with some guy from Nineveh, northern modern Iraq, right... And this guy took him in and was sympathetic to his condition and gave him some food and stuff and spent nights conversing with him, and told him about these beings called 'Genie' who were in the culture of Nineveh.

Really mislead you now!

So then, when Muhammad got back to the Quraysh, they were angry with him because he came back broke, and he told them then 'the Surah of the Djinn.' (72nd chapter: Surah Al-Jinn), and he told them that some evil Djinn had stolen all the amazing wealth he had made in his trading - but then, some good Djinn listened to him reciting the Quran and became Muslims following which it was revealed the 'Chapter of the Djinn!'

The Avestan language has many ancient texts talking about the Deva-zini ('bright when they are seen') beings, who are usually 'a-zin;' not seen/invisible. (Vizier, prolly is from 'va' - Deva - and 'zi;' to see and shine, with knowledge).  

Wonder who this 'Balthazar' was - the lawyer in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. And wonder what shoes she - sorry 'he' no wait, it was actually 'she' though right - was wearing, when she appeared.

You want to buy something that is worth money?

Why?

Money? Urgh, pthah. Yuck!

What are you going to do with... ...money?

Oh, you want to buy something that is going to be worth money.

Oh, I see.

I dunno. Could we find something there for you? What do you think?

Huh?

Marta Burns is a classically-trained opera singer and composer. I think this is modern opera; what do you think:
