Every occasion that famous or rich people go to...is followed by a barrage of pics showing us what they were wearing...

@DIABLISS if they shouldn't act like that people shouldn't reward them. But they do. And by people I don't mean the big shots who organise the events but the people who watch the events.
The fact that we show more interest in famous people in fancy clothes than in inventors, doctors and so on, gives the former more value than the latter, so it is what it is.

@kayoshin true....but it shouldn't be that way. How stupid are we as a society that we show more interest in what some square jawed imitator is eating for lunch more than the brilliant scientist that he is portraying?

@DIABLISS it's more of a imediate gratification over long term goal thing. We can have something that makes us feel good right now or invest in something that makes us good in the long run or future generations. We're not that stupid, just selfish and shortsighted.

@cherokeepatti that i might be okay with. i have heard that the jewelry is always on loan

@DIABLISS it would explain why so many wear most of the fancy dress outfits only one time for an appearance.

@nebulouslyyours and the poor kids that want to emulate them realize that the only way to achieve their personal goals is to cheat lie and steal to get the riches that these famous people don't even deserve.

an actor portrays a physicist who does great things and the actor gets accolades and money whilst the physicist who actually did the great thing isn't remembered and dies poor
