I remember going to Malibu one Sunday with some friends. I photographed a
crossing where the cars were waiting for an elderly man to hobble across the
road. The order of cars was: Ferrari, Ferrari, Land Rover, Maserati, Ferarri

When I worked in Beverly Hills, we bet outsiders that we could stand on the sidewalk and
see a Rolls Royce drive by within five minutes. We always won.

Some stores on Rodeo Drive keep their front doors locked. To get in, an employee looks you
over and decides whether you're affluent enough. Hint: it's the shoes. If they cost less
then $600, you're not worthy.

Hope you had a merry Christmas. Santa died for your credit cards, and watch out for flying
monkeys.
