The news media is all abuzz today about Britney Spears' recently published list of expenditures. Among them is a manicure for $500. This seemed odd to me. While I was walking this morning I tried to visualize a $500 manicure. I, myself, have maybe three or four manicures a year. They're usually $15 plus tip. And I always tip 20 per cent. This is kind of a spiritual issue with me, as well as the fact that women have a bad tipping reputation.
Anyway, when I got home - and with several serious items on the agenda - I decided first to research the $500 manicure. I was wondering if maybe she had it while watching a Broadway show or if food and fine wines were involved.
Gosh, I'm so naive. As it turns out, Britney's was a bargain mani. For instance...
On the 2012 Grammys red carpet Rihanna sported a $5,000 24-karat gold gem mani..
British beauty expert Leighton Denny can give you a diamond, sapphire and ruby mani for the bargain price of $32,000. Apparently it's a hit with Arab princesses.
So Britney, please forgive me for thinking you were being frivolous. I guess $500 for a manicure can be seen as reasonable after all.
I wonder what kind of tip you leave with the $32,000 kind.
