The rich ladies of D.C. (and Northern Virginia) used to have fancy wine parties where they would buy fancy kitchen crap or $500 dildos or whatever, but now there is no money, for anything. This is why the fancy white women are now having “gold parties,” at which they sell whatever golden trinkets they can find in their monstrous foreclosed McMansions. “Suzy Senkus brought a bracelet given to her once upon a time by a handsome doctor, who then cheated on her with a nurse.” What a trashy nation. [Washington Post]
Call Sarah Plain! She’s got, like, 16 class rings from all those colleges she attended.
This is so horrible! What about the children? Why isn’t anyone thinking about the children? That tacky, outdated costume jewelry was supposed to be given to my girls, who would then pawn it off when their sorority was throwing a party for the neighboring fraternity, or if, heaven forbid, one of my daughters needed a nose job. Instead these greedy old biddies are melting this stuff down for their own selfish needs, like one more trip to the Sizzler. No one is thinking about the CHILDREN!
QVC the 2nd Wives Club home version!
Does it mention anywhere that these parties end up them drunk, start kissing each other and then having a lesbian orgy? No? Damn porn.
can i haz post of Robinette Biden? Izn’t he runnin for sumthin’?
I’m getting rid of all my Paultard Krugerrands.
Once all the rich white people are destroyed, this country might start looking up.
too soon?
They then melt down the gold and fashion it into a statue of a golden calf, whereupon zombie Charlton Heston descends the glitzy staircase and gives them the Ten Commandments.
January never took a potty break! Oh god, why did I read that article
Would you go as far as to say that rich ladies are showering each other with gold at these parties, Ken?
“Suzy Senkus” is a great name.
This is a high-class white trash version of those “Send us that old gold jewelry you never wear anymore and we’ll send you cash!!”.
StrangelyBrown: Ug, golden showers, double ug
Sweet, I knew there was a reason I kept that busted gold anklet an old college boyfriend gave to me. Too bad I’m too poor to ever be invited to their rich-person’s Tupperware party!
StrangelyBrown:
“Affluent Elderly Women React to Bad Economy by Indulging in Golden Showers”
StrangelyBrown: WIN.
I have a Jefferson Starship album called “Gold.” It even has the “Light the Sky on Fire” single included, with the short version of “Hyperdrive” on the back. What am I bid?
Serolf Divad: And at least a couple of promise rings her family won’t be using anymore.
this story goes with the one the Post ran last week about how rich area women are shoppng at Goodwill (gasp!) and buying gently used Chanel suits (we have some ridiculous Goodwills in this area) because they are such a bargain. These women do not NEED to do this, but apparently, it is now sort of trendy chic. “oooh, Buffy, let’s pretend we are poor! Heehee”
Doglessliberal: They’ve been doing that for years. It’s called bad tipping.
What swell people. I’m sure they will report any profit on the transaction to the IRS.
When did Chuck-E-Cheese start minting game tokens with Ron Paul on them? I want Chuck-E on my coins when I play skee-ball.

Doglessliberal: Do they then dress like shepherdesses and milkmaids while visiting their rustic country homes?
They’re jumping the gun a bit. Hold gold until the bottom dollar really hits.
Also, my first impression of the pic was of a gold coin featuring Vladi Lenin, but that *can’t* be right.
I want a John Mahoney (frasier’s dad) gold piece!
Those Paultard coins will be essential for the small communties we establish with our armed border guards, parapets, MREs, and pure white populace to rebuild America.
Why don’t they hold a charity event in which they melt themselves whilst wearing all their useless gold? I’d be there picking through the ashes and cheering the smell of useless burning women!!
