My child attends one of those elite pre-schools on the west side of Los Angeles. It is, perhaps, among the most desirable pre-school in Los Angeles. Not necessarily for the children, but for the parents. Bragging rights and whatnot. Terrible anguish if "Madison" doesn't get in, etc.
At any rate, there was a holiday show put on by the children, in a building attached to the school. Parents attended the mid-day performance. Everyone was dressed appropriately with the exception of a few of the "A" List parents.
What the hell is the world-famous, highest-grossing director of sentimental pap in the world doing with a bloody baseball cap on his head whilst seated in the church pew for the duration of the performance? What's his creepy wife doing with a wool knit cap pulled down past her eyes? Do they not know that this "look" makes them stand out? It's been pointed out to me that this is entirely the point. That the baseball cap is this slob's signature "uniform." Contrary to what one would imagine, such a look isn't a disguise but a signpost. Can this possibly be true? Hey bro, there's nothing worse in my book than having the resources to kit yourself out paired with the inability to do so. You get an "F" in aesthetics.
In addition, another celebrity violated the "don't stand up and take pics until the end of the performance" rule. He too was wearing a baseball cap. He's gonna block everyone's view now? Is he so full of hubris? Has he been so enabled by sycophants and yes-men that he doesn't think the rules apply to him?
Standing-up-in-everyone's-way-and-block-the-view-of-all-the-other-parent's wife has, in the past, the annoying habit of wearing dark sunglasses indoors. Inside the children's playroom while reading scripts. Why? Do you think people are going to recognize you? Bother you? No one cares. Preternatural parental love of children trumps supernatural obsession with celebrity. How can you possibly even read with those dark glasses? Are they prescription? Maybe you forgot your contacts at home? Or are you just annoying. I hope for the former but fear it is the latter.
You people are entitled swine. You'll be the first to go when the Revolution comes.
P.S. Ditch the baseball cap and seek out hats from Lock or Bates.

You are so two-faced. Either that, or delusional. You are EXACTLY like the "swine" you profess to hate so much. You are rude, pompous, condescending, pretentious, and status-oriented. And while I don't know what school your kid attends, I would bet that the other parents there don't think any higher of you than you think of them.
Dear Grossed Out:
I'm not "status-oriented," though your use of the hyphen is commendable.
Yours most assuredly,
Precious Parent.
P.S. Oh yeah, I prefer "Janus-Faced."
I have to agree with "Grossed Out". You're simply annoying! I've read your pretentious comments on Peachhead and it looks like you're simply writing responses to generate readers for your blog.
WOW! "Two-faced", "swine"? It's hard to stand out in the face of conformity. This kind of brutal honesty you can't buy and that's a shame! If the other "Sheep" don't like the rebellious tone then why exactly are they reading it? I look forward to every new entry. It's refreshing and highly entertaining. Trust me every word he writes is true and if you don't live in the extremely "precious" west side of L.A. or for that matter west side of NYC then you have NO idea. Bravo!
