Rosemary Vs. Seagrove Beach

[Miss Kitty]

Every place on 30A has "snooty" people. They come in droves during the summer. Name dropping, wearing big sunglasses, and bathed in designer logos. You'll never find them at certain local establishments or neighborhoods they consider "beneath" them. They generally aren't on vacation so much as a chance to go home and talk amongst their friends about where they stayed, how much they spent on it, and how exclusive it was.

The happiest people wear sowal.com and 30A Funn logos.

Snoots are everywhere, as are wannabe snoots. ;-)

Most of them don't have money. I'm betting the full time local in Seagrove driving the sensible car they own as opposed to lease is much more comfortable, happy, and funn to be around than most of the tourists.

When did "having money" become so ostentatious? Must have been the 80's from what I can remember.

I love Rosemary! Cowgirl Kitchen, Wild Olive and Courtyard Wine. I like the intimacy and the color and style of the architecture. Very family focused. I love the movies and Gigis. Just so much funn!

I didn't say having money was ostentatious, what I meant was that the tourist in the brand new BMW, Mercedes, Landrover, or other pricey land yacht that absolutely must stay in the swankiest high end exclusive development usually shouldn't be spending the way they are. ;-)

Almost missed this..maybe you misunderstood my question. I was wondering out loud when people started wearing their cash (or perceived cash) on their sleeves. Don't remember it from my youth or even at SMU (nicknamed southern money university). I knew plenty of peers that came from big money, but they never stood out. My premise was it was the go go 80's the started the whole logo wearing, somewhat showy generation.

Drove all the way from Ed Walline to Rosemary on my bike in the heat for some lunch at Wild Olive, only to find them closed on Mondays.:shock: Business must be really good at Wild Olive. Had a good meatloaf sandwich at Cowgirl instead, cute place, nice people.

I'm pretty sure it was the 80's that did it. Some people just can't help themselves.

Wild Olives has closed on Mondays since they opened for business. ;-)

Many restaurants close on Mondays. It isn't uncommon at all.

I started carrying Louis Vuitton in the 70's. Have never broken that tradition. They last forever. Beach Jacket's diaper bag was Louis Vuitton. She still carries it as a book bag.

So I guess I'm one of those bad logo people.

Does VC&A ring a bell with anyone?;-) JK.

You were ahead of your time. I am pretty sure I had no idea what a LV was in the 70's and I lived in DALLAS for most of that decade! Logos aren't "bad", I jsut wondered when they became so popular.

Oh man...sorry, we need a new thread for this silliness. Back to RB and Seagrove.

You don't remember Pappagallo in the 60's and 70's? All teens that weren't pseudo-hippies like me wore that stuff. Or Betsy Johnson if you were a hippie or pseudo-hippie like me. I was a model for Betsey Johnson at Paraphernalia in the 60's and 70's, starting as a young teen.

That's how I got into designer clothing. Plus my Mom indulged me in designer stuff. She was gorgeous and wore beautiful clothing, as did my Daddy.

Speaking of RB vs Seaside, I have seen some beautiful clothing and accessories there. Makes me sort of chuckle, though. We were accustomed to going to the Cloister where everyone dressed up for dinner. Then when we started going to the FL Panhandle, we dressed up. We quickly realized that we looked like turkeys in the Panhandle when dressed in Cloister style. So now we dress down, with at least one designer logo just to rep.
