my favorite is the "Dream Folly"


Our "Dream Folly" is inspired by the classic 1960s TV show I Dream of Jeannie. Starting with a sturdy 18-foot-diameter yurt—a structure invented centuries ago by ancient Mongols—"Dream Folly" is the ideal simulation of a genie's posh bottle.

1. ...

"Simply ask for this dream getaway, and we'll have it installed on your estate grounds in the blink of an eye. For every retreat sold, Neiman Marcus will donate $5,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation."


cost is $75K...so they give $5K of it away so you can feel better about being a rich prick?

this is what disgusts me about the wealthy, how can you even SPEND that much money? why can't they see the inequality is counter-intuitive?

3. I guess I'd rather they spend on material goods than

tucking it away buying risky financial vehicles that only transfer wealth from wealthy people to other wealthy people.

2. Perhaps it's time to occupy Neiman Marcus....or the mall outside.

San Diego has one at Fashion Valley mall. I stopped in recently and saw ugly shoes at over a thousand bucks - obscene.
