    Are you Old Money or Nouveau Riche?

    Tags:  Feature Story, October    Posted date:  September 30, 2011  |  No comment

    Take a peek at your fingers and toes. What state are your nails in?

    a) They’re tidy and neat, and they’re polish free – but I have them buffed so that they shine and look healthy.

    b) Lookit, I just tried liftin’ my hand, but can’t! Gimme the works – I love long, acrylic nails.

    You’re likely to be in possession of a great handbag, but what about the other arm candy – what’s your man like?

    a) An Eton-educated investment banker; we first locked eyes in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot when he was admiring my Phillip Treacy hat.

    b) It was love at first sight when he pulled up in front of our regular nightclub in his Lamborghini.

    Where are your usual haunts?

    a) Polo grounds, private members’ clubs (the ones with a watertight admissions policy), our Paris appartement near the Champs-Élysées, and the table with the best view in my favourite Michelin-starred restaurant.

    b) Next to a champagne bucket in the VIP area of a celebrity-packed nightclub, the passenger seat of a bright red Ferrari with a hilarious novelty license plate, the F1 racetrack in Monte Carlo, and of course – LA, baby!

     

    Mostly A’s—Old Money

    Those who know you will probably describe you as a real lady – politely glamorous, effortlessly sophisticated and unfailingly discreet, you’re the true epitome of Old Money.

    Mostly B’s—Nouveau Riche

    Get you, Mademoiselle Bling-Bling! It’s all eyes on you when you walk in, and for good reason, too: if there’s one woman in possession of the largest, shiniest signature piece that makes other ladies swoon with envy, it’s you.
