Vi hanno dato della snob?
E magari sotto il make-up ed il naso proteso verso l’alto, vi ha sfiorato il dubbio di star sbagliando qualcosa?
E perchè?
Essere snob è l’unico modo per non farsi travolgere ed omologare da queste tendenze qualunquiste! Lo dice Antonius Moonen nel suo libro “Il manuale dello snob” un ironico plauso allo snobbismo ed ai vantaggi che provengono dall’essere eccentricamente controcorrente.
Grande libro
Sono d’accordo, me lo comprerò sicuro.
Abbiamo già trovato dei “filosnobbisti” convinti..allora è vero che essere snob ha i suoi vantaggi?!
Did you notice the Yorkshire Terriers, superbly dressed and trimmed, on the “dogwalks” of Emporio Armani and Mulberry, announcing the next season autumn/winter 2011/2012 and the new collection of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac inspired by the “101 Dalmatians”? And what to say about the ostentatious and affected dignity of the TopShop Unique models, parading with their distinguished make-up and hairdressing which made them look like a pack of Shih-Tzu? Or fashion icon Liv Tyler, posing with a huge and ferocious Doberman printed on her sweater?
Obviously, the canine family is indeed very hip! Meanwhile, many questions might occur: how to select a fashionable puppy, how to find him a trendy name, where to buy his designer outfits, how to choose a tasteful basket, a park or a fancy kennel where he (or she) can make some aristocratic friends, how to feed him or where to find a chic hotel where the room-maids will gladly pamper your precious pet?
Now, if your doggy is a snob (what we sincerely hope) and thus fluently French-barking of course, then you both should run immediately to your bookshop and order the only manual of savoir-vivre entirely devoted to your four-legged friend that contains all the answers and name-dropping you need.
