How The Other Half Lives

I spent the afternoon waking up and down Park City's Main Street window shopping and people watching.  I was very much just window shopping because who could afford the things on sale!  Below are just a few of the examples of things I found for sale there.  The first was from an oil painting.  The second and third were from photographs of the narrows in Zions National Park I believe.  The last is from a mink fur coat.

As I was taking the pictures of the cost of the photographs (I didn't want to take pictures of the actual items because I was pretty sure I would have been reprimanded for doing so) the store associate asked if I was sending the price to my husband.  I didn't want to burst her bubble by 1) letting her know I wasn't married and 2) that there was no way I would ever buy something so expensive (I was taking the picture from utter sticker shock) so I played along and informed her, "that there were only so many suggestions I could give my husband for Christmas gifts".  It did kind of make me feel good that I could be mistaken for someone that was married and had a husband rich enough to buy me a $72000.00 photograph.

The store associate from the fur coat store also came up and asked if she could help me as I took a picture of the price of the fur coat, but I think she only did so because I was in the very back of the store and she was probably afraid that I was PETA or something and was going to mess up the coat.

$70,000.00 Oil Painting
$72,000.00 Photograph
$32,000.00 Photograph
$23,995.00 Mink Coat
Do you think the $5.00 off of $24,000.00
really helps people feel they are getting a
bargain?

  1. Wow, just wow. I don't know if I will even ever be in a place where I will see let alone touch a $24000.00 fur coat. Good for you. I'm glad to see you are still having fun on your travels. Love you.
