The Sunday Times skipped its usual repeat fashion story to delve into some of the deeper questions New Yorkers ask themselves. Such as, "can I really be friends with a rich person?" Or, "why do people with money take the subway anyhow?"

Apparently, there are so many rich people on the subway — not because it's faster than taking a cab to Wall Street if you live in Gramercy — but because it's fun. Like a show. (See, you have to remember now that the really, really rich people don't actually work, therefore they have time for these frivolities.)

Really, if you don't have money, you shouldn't even try to be friends with rich people. Seriously, because all they do is wear the same the clothes, carry the same bags, and walk around.

"I call them 'money pods,' " she said. "Look at a group of female friends walking down the street. They're often all dressed identically: the same shoes, the same belts, the same handbag."

That's so interesting … money pods. Yeah, we just called them Gastineau girls.
