I honestly don't understand the purpose of this picture other than ego stroking. The accompanying description reinforces this theory.

Hell, I can't even see the tiny little diamonds!

And hopefully that band belongs to his wife. A man shouldn't be wearing diamonds set in a ring.

I always love the remark made by Walter Hoving when a man demanded a diamond ring at Tiffany ... "What you buy is your business, what we sell is ours."

A few threads down is "At what age did you/do you project you will become a millionaire?"

Oh, the irony.

So that's how it's spelled. I imagine I only used/heard this term in speech ... way back in "high" school.

Thought I'd add some fuel to the fire...just a couple of pics from my other "home"...Peninsula Beverly Hills:

My "crew" poolside in my cabana:

I'm addicted to "high tea" and would enjoy it everyday if I could find people with enough free time:

I do wonder what the people at the Veuve event across the pool must have been thinking

Alright...carry on...
