Mar 2 2020 - Paul McCartney Spotted in second class on train

Are there really celebrities who don't spend their money buying dozens of racing cars and other luxury items.  There are lots of sites, such as moneycrashers.com that make these claims about popular stars.  Here are a few:  Kristen Bell As the lead character for Disney’s biggest animated movie all time, “Frozen,” Kristen Bell is sitting pretty as far as picking her next projects. And with an estimated net worth of $16 million, she could wear anything she wants on the red carpet. But Bell is known for her frugal sartorial choices, even rocking a $45 dress from Target at one event. Leonardo DiCaprio You’d expect a millionaire playboy like Leonardo DiCaprio to own the latest and greatest sports cars, but despite his vast $200 million fortune, the actor only has one vehicle: a Toyota Prius. He’s also known for eschewing private jets, choosing to fly commercial instead to both save money and protect the environment from unnecessary emissions. His main pursuit is charitable giving, as he supports a number of environmentalist causes. Paul McCartney As one of the most famous rock stars of all time, Paul McCartney – and his huge net worth of $800 million – stays pretty humble. He’s known for his frugal ways, including making his daughter, Stella, pay her own way for post-secondary school, and even asking guests to pay for their own drinks at a party. For Paul McCarney, there are further reports that these  stories spread by Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd and by his own daughter.  And then in March 2018, this headline hit the Dailymail.com, That must have been fun to experience and report.   EXCLUSIVE - He's got a cheap ticket to ride!

Who was right about fashion and wrong about women?

Karl Lagerfeld, known world-wide for fashion design has died.  I had a fine wool suit with silk ribbon trim around the lapels designed by Chanel. That was before Lagerfeld took over the design in 1983. The suit was elegant, feminine and on sale at a deep discount. Otherwise, it would have been worn by someone else.   With social media, there is a swirl of coverage of his life in words and pictures.  Vogue has a stylish obituary with 40 of its own pictures through the decades of his career - famous celebrities and models photographed by famous photographers.  HERE.   Search on his name and look at the hundreds of consistent and constant image pictures - the high white collars, black jackets, black jeans and always the white pony tale and glasses.  The fingerless gloves are a curiosity that he always wore.  Included in the pictures is a Karl Lagerfeld Barbie Doll (for the adult collector) that is dressed in his iconic outfit. Look up Karl Lagerfeld quotes. Harper's Bazaar chose 9 quotes - and the first three are hilarious: 1. “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.” 2. "Trendy is the last stage before tacky." 3. “I remember a designer who said that intelligent women don’t wear her dresses. Obviously, she went bankrupt.” These are often repeated: "I am very much down to Earth. Just not this earth." "When I was four I asked my mother for a valet for my birthday." "A diet is the only game where you win while you're losing." But Lagerfeld's pouting mouth and dark glasses revealed the nasty side of his persona.  It isn't a surprise that one can retrieve a long list of cutting, controversial and cruel quotes.  He was called misogynistic and fat phobic many times by many famous celebrities responding to his "epic one-liners."  One obituary headline says it:  "Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld was right about fashion and wrong about women". We're looking at abstracts of the urban environment today.
