It seems some reality stars are getting fame and fortune just for being the life of the party. I don't think the Lord of Misrule was ever fully done away with. Of course, then comes the new year, and the consequences of all the indulgences guided by many as 'worth' their sacrifice and blah, blah, blah with the rent due and payable as well as those other bills and costs! Like no one sees that such 'partying' takes place today in our 'modern times'? There are office, neighborhood, community, family, friends getting together and then some! Extravagances abound in the realms with lavish (unaffordable /overindulgent) gifting not to mention the indulgences of the feastings. ![]() |
