Anyone wonder if the adult onesies company got a big boost in sales after he posted here?   😛 ---

Or does he just want to boast about how much money he has to waste, and how bad his fashion sense is? They may be upmarket brands but I never heard of the companies selling the onesies or the dressing gowns. And those are really weird, really expensive clothes. I reported the dressing gown topic as spam but the moderator didn’t seem to think so. ---

> [@GreenWyvern](#): > > Do you think the guy has some kind of affiliate relationship with these upmarket brands? Or does he just want to boast about how much money he has to waste, and how bad his fashion sense is? Considering the onesies and one of the two sunglasses were sold old before I posted, what sort affiliation would lead me to post? I guess I can’t post a Richard Mille marshmallow thread now? But if anyone has one and wants to discuss it, private message me. ---

Why are you even asking which of them you should buy? Why aren’t you just buying both onesies, sunglasses or dressing gowns and not bothering to solicit opinions? ---

Closet space. What do you care if I want to discuss gowns, onesies, or watches? If you are not interested, move on to another thread? ---

I drilled holes into my gold-plated monocle so I can also use it as a colander! ---

I feel sad for all of you who can’t afford a solid gold monocle/colander. ---

But should I choose the solid gold one, or the platinum one with rubies? I would like to hear your opinion. ---

Anything with gems means food gets caught and the servants won’t put up with trying to get those clean. And you can’t beat 'em like in the old days. ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > I drilled holes into my gold-plated monocle so I can also use it as a colander! Well now that’s just silly. The correct way to improvise a truly classy colander for straining stuff is to have your manservant or lady-in-waiting loosely hold your paisley unlined silk dressing gown – the kind available exclusively from **HughGoply** ’s favourite purveyor of dressing gowns, New & Lingwood, for $2250 or even more – over the sink so it forms a bowl shape, and then pour your spaghetti or whatever you’re draining into it. The Duke of Edinburgh was once heard to remark that no finer colander can be had for an English country house. ---

That suggests that one is preparing one’s own meals. How gauche. That’s what the downstairs staff is for. Cook or one of her staff does that.
