Tea in KC

No, Ice-T isn't coming to Kansas City . . . he's too busy selling out like all rappers eventually do.

Similarly, today The Star runs an insipid article about high tea at the Fairmount. Seriously. Here's a quote that will make you pray for a class war.

"Afternoon tea is about doting on our customers," Carta said. "It's not just about the exquisite food and teas or the location, it's about being pampered."

Which begs the question? Who reads/writes this shit? And then it occurs to me that fewer and fewer people do. And it's not just because of dead trees, it's because the people in the glass house over at The Star think this kind of B.S. article is relevant to life in KC. Maybe it's something you should aspire to.

I don't know, I've never had and probably never will have high tea in a luxury hotel. If I ever have the money for that kind of thing I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't bother. I'd rather spend my afternoon with strippers and other powdered substances stronger than snack cakes. But, that probably won't happen either . . . Instead I'm just inspired to dream by the Star's irrelevant reporting on one of KC's dying traditions of the few rich white people in KC who haven't yet bolted to JoCo.
