O! I had been meaning to ask has anyone seen that enormous thread in S&B called clothing brands and target demographics?
It is literally oozing with class fetishisation, a sort of intellectual one-upmanship where the majority of posters (naturally) claim to sit at the more affluent end of the scale, taking passive aggressive little pokes at those with less taste and disposable income for astonishingly overpriced clothing. It is all clouded in academic frippery, of course, so that on the surface we can pretend that it isn't about status and class at all.
The username NatashaDancing is worth a mention, as most of her posts are condescending and unashamedly self aggrandising. She takes pains to remind people on every page just how utterly affluent and posh she is, making curt little digs at anyone who questions the theme of the thread. I've seen her about on S&B in the past, she has to be one of the most sickeningly vacuous, self satisfied harpies on the site. I will conclude from this that she is just another wannabee with a slight amount of disposable to throw around. I was previously enjoying the chat on that thread until she elbowed her way into it, along with botemp (I forget the name) and co, airing their unparalleled, educated judgements across a plethora of upmarket, obscure and dizzyingly unaffordable clothing brands. I do believe they have far too much time on their hands.
I would love to see these idiots on the 'wearing it today' thread.
but I do it to be comfy not a young style icon. Someone on the thread about tattle said we must all be very young 
she's my favourite.
