This is some Edith Wharton, Age of Innocence shit
Interesting article in the Style sections about Ruth Madoff's fall from New York grace. The gist of it is that she has become public enemy number one and has been ostracized by individuals and businesses alike. She can't even get her hair highlighted! I don't know why, but it makes me feel bad for her. I am torn because I understand why people, and New Yorkers in particular, demonise those who profit fraudulently on the backs of hard working people and charities. But why does a hair salon or restaurant that have no or limited personal connection to the events feel the need to vilify this woman. I mean how cruel, to her and us, she is going to have horrible roots.
