Teresa's written a wonderful blog post about the revelation that Tyco's crooked
CEO spent "6,000 on a shower curtain, $15,000 for an umbrella stand, $2,900 on
coat hangers, $5,960 on bedsheets and $2,200 for a wastebasket."
Naturally, they assured her that not only is it possible to pay $6,000 for
your shower curtains and $2,200 for a wastebasket, it's a Good Thing to do
so, practically essential. Then they explain how:
"Sometimes the wastebasket is exposed," said Joel Joves, a designer with
offices in Rancho Santa Fe and Beverly Hills. "If you have a fabulous study
or master bedroom, then maybe we need a pewter-finished basket with
decorative pearl beadings or semiprecious stones to complete the look of a
room."
That's Fool Money at work. If you can't find a sufficiently fabulous
wastebasket for $200, $500 absolute tops, you're not half trying.
