While most of us would kill for the chance to sit front row at a fashion show, Fashionista reveals that today’s celebs not only get to do it, but THEY GET PAID, A LOT. How much they’re paid depends on the celeb:
We are all told that we should be terribly busy,
cheap Kansas City Royals Hats, so we can’t laze around without that nagging feeling that we need to be getting stuff done. I rejected my guilt upon learning that Europeans in the Middle Ages felt no shame for lolling about. Their favorite philosopher, Aristotle, had praised the contemplative life,
