I am not rich. But somewhere in a parallel universe there’s a version of me that is – that bitch — and she goes on wild spending sprees and doesn’t care about the practicality of her purchases.
In this universe, I (Proper Genevieve) grew up with a rickety, wooden four-poster bed that was in danger of falling apart thanks to my proclivity for hanging off the columns while I pretended I was a superhero adventurer of some sort. In that parallel universe, Other Genevieve (that rich bitch) has a bunk bed shaped like a castle — a castle.
Yes, it's highly feminine but it's still a *castle* of all things.
But this bed isn’t just available in Other Genevieve’s universe, it’s available in this universe where the price tag is $20,570. In case you can’t conceptualize how much that is, let me just point out that tuition for one term (that’s fourth month) at NYU was a little over $15,000 when I attended.
You’re looking at someone’s college education.
Don’t get me wrong, though. If you earn the money, you have every right to spend it how you wish even if it’s on an overpriced Woodland Princess Castle Bunk Bed — the mere sight of which makes me sob with broken childhood dreams.
So have your fun, Other Genevieve. Battle off foes from your ivy-covered towers. I’m just going to go sit on my rickety, steel-framed four-poster and hate you.
But hey, if you’re ever in the neighborhood can you spot me a twenty?

** The wooden bed did eventually give way, which is why I now have a steel one.
