        I have long ago given up worrying about man's ability to devise 
        new ways in which to spend a disproportionately huge amount of 
        money in order to show his fellow man that he has amassed huge 
        piles of it. Forget cocaine. It's place in the luxury goods 
        market has been usurped triumphantly by Prada. I applaud the 
        brilliance of those minds behind this phenomenon. Where else can 
        merchandise made primarily of nylon and leather be fought over 
        by patrons wearing Diamonds and Sable? Prada. More than a brand; 
        A mantra. A greeting. "Prada?" Soon to be right up there with 
        Shalom, Ciao, and Aloha.

        Virtually yours,

        Patrick Bateman
