The rich folks are what kept all the classic artists working back in the day. You know, the patrons of the renaissance painters and other such excellent artists. But it is amusing to see the two different events held up side by side.

I haven't seen a worthwhile show at the Power Plant since that campy gay nazi painting exhibition almost 2 decades ago... and even that was borderline.

I fully admit that these sort of rich people galas are great for arts funding. Perhaps it's just sour grapes knowing that, like Cinderella, I certainly can't go to the royal ball this year and there is no fairy godmother waiting in the wings to turn my pumpkin into a Benz. However, partying in the cellar with the mice might be just as much, if not more, fun.

Since I am neither Rich People nor west-end hipster but rather beaches nerd, Thursday will find me video chatting with my partner, scratching jesus' ears and twittering tech news dressed in my favourite Edwardian gown. Admission: free.

Damn rich people who spend money to support the arts! I hate them!
