Delaware Antiques Show: The Rich Lean

The sign is already collectable

The 47th Delaware Antiques Show opened with a bang of Black Watch tartan last night. Martha Stewart opened the show but her escort stole it dressed head to toe in Black Watch tartan. Jacket, trousers, shirt, bow tie...everything he was wearing. I assume he was wearing Black Watch boxers but I did miss his shoes.

There seemed to be fewer booths this year while prices finally seemed to reflect everyone being poor or scared. Delaware is a tax free state as well. Something the rich seem to appreciate more than anyone else.

I couldn't help but notice the 'forward tilt' posture and gait of the high net worth. The Golf Foxtrot insists it comes from carrying bags of money. Add amazing food, lots of hooch and loads of fresh crab and you have a magnet for rich people who love old things. I'm half way there. If you're 100% - - the show is open until November 7th.
