A 19th-century artwork that has inspired artists from Surrealist Salvador Dalí to contemporary painter Ed Ruscha may be the influence behind the cover for Taylor Swift’s forthcoming album, “The Life of A Showgirl.”
Did This 19th-Century Painting Inspire Taylor Swift’s New Album Art?
The dramatic teal green cover for the singer’s forthcoming “The Life of A Showgirl” is an apparent wink to John Everett Millais’s famous “Ophelia.”

I keep finding myself thinking, ‘it can’t go on like this’ but then I remember my first trip to Zimbabwe in 2012, where everyone told me they had been thinking that since 1987

there is a certain wealth level beyond which you basically never hear the word no ever again. That's the cutoff point. Not hearing no breaks the human brain. We are not built to afford everything and value nothing
They key here, I think, is the "very" rich part. This doesn't mean your aunt with the vacation home after a career as a corporate lawyer, or your cousin the surgeon. Those people are normal rich.
The brain warping very rich are the 8+ figure wealth people.

As someone who has spent more time with very rich people than anyone with good sense should, I dunno how to tell you this but there is no group that despises you and also wants to be you and also despises themselves for wanting to be you at this level, not even close
