If you’re overwhelmed by those two options, you can skip the hassle and read the two most important sentences ever written right here:<\/p>\n

“For example, at $7,250 Samantha’s big gold Wendy Brandes earrings, called ‘Cleopatra,’ cost more than a trip to Cairo. But Ms. Brandes also sells the earrings in silver for $450 — by no means cheap, but less than a ticket on Egyptair.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I just checked the Egyptair <\/a>website and it’s true: a restricted economy round-trip ticket for one person from New York’s JFK airport to Cairo, leaving May 30 and returning June 5, is $1452.61. But think of all the additional money you’d have to spend on a companion ticket, hotels, dining, Nile cruises and souvenir t-shirts for your extended family that say, “My mummy went to Egypt and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” That would surely put you over $7,250. Just stay at home and save money by getting my gold and diamond earrings instead.<\/p>\n

And, of course, none of my designs are cheap<\/em>, darlings. We elegant people don’t say the word “cheap<\/em>“!<\/a><\/p>\n
