The
PLEASURES of Peasantry An heiress loses her fortune and is forced to live the everyday life of a commoner. But she’s going to bring high-class [style] to the lap outside of luxury.
After being unexpectedly cut off by her parents, the Heiress is left with nothing but the clothes on her back and the contents of her suitcase. She relunctanly says goodbye to the only world she’s known and must figure out how to navigate the simple life alone.
She’s money hungry, but instead has to settle for a burger and fries.
What do poor people even wear to the gym? Since the Heiress no longer has access to the family’s trusted plastic surgeon, it’s goodbye lipo, hello hard work. She has to cleanse her system of the greasy fast food somehow.
As if she didn’t already work up enough of a sweat at the gym, the Heiress decides to go grocery shopping. Luckily for her, the cheapest thing in the super market just so happens to come in her favorite color, pink. Too bad diamond encrusted ramen doesn’t exist.
The Heiress finds herself in a serious power struggle with the ATM upon the discovery that she has only enough money in the bank for a measley bag of hot cheetos.
No matter how much laundry the Heiress does, she can’t seem to make herself feel clean. Never so much as having worn an outfit more than once the idea of repeating an outfit is daunting enough, but having to wash her clothes and at a laundromat? Unfathomable. My oh my how far the mighty has fallen.
Usually when the Heiress needs a change of scenery she takes a trip to the Hamptons. She’s used to flying on a priavate jet, but this time a dirty pickup truck will have to do. Has a taste of the simple life humbled the previously disillusioned and pampered Heiress? Regardless she’s on to her next adventure, bringing high-class [style] to the hitch-hiker scene.
Wealth is of the heart and mind, not the pocket.
