a fool and their money are soon parted.
There are a lot of different types of fools out there. Is any pair of shoes worth $1,500? Who knows? But it's a global market and there are a lot of people with a lot of money out there. If you spend $2,500 for a bottle of wine or $600 for a "nice dinner," then why not $1,500 for a pair of shoes?
I'm not sure that I want the kind of mooney that would entitle me to spend $600 on a feed. I can go to that scottish place for four bucks. you know macdougals or something like that:-)
Or $20,000 for a handbag..
