I'm beginning to think that money and celebrity status has a strange effect on some people's minds in the way that they behave and dress.
The strangest thing I have heard this weekend was about the singer Madonna's radiators. Apparently she needed the services of a plumber to deal with a problem with her heating system and he had to drain the water from one of her radiators. What he didn't realise was being Madonna, she had the heating system filled with holy water so he had to save it and return it to the central heating system when he had fininshed. This story was actually on the radio at the weekend when they were doing a newspaper review.
Another news magazine that came with Saturday's newspaper had some photos of Helena Bonham Carter and her family. The clothes that she was wearing appeared to be charity shop rejects and she looked extremely scruffy as well as strange. This is a great pity because she has a classic beauty which is evident in some of her films, especially the period costume dramas. In these pictures though, she was wearing a summer dress that didn't fit properly and made her look like Little Bo Peep. The dress was topped with something that resembed her granny's cardigan and on her feet she wore what looked like a pair of labourer's boots. Now casual is one thing but this didn't even fit that category!
Perhaps that's why I'm not a celebrity or rich because I much prefer a smart casual look unless I'm working in the garden. I always used to wear business suits at work and proper evening dress for for the occasions where this was required or expected.
At least I think I'm in the right group: I haven't got money but I have got taste whereas some celebrities have money but no taste.
