I had to attend a charity ball full of debutantes a couple times with the first firm I worked for. It was the weirdest fucking thing I've seen. Bunch of teenage girls in virginal dresses just getting absolutely shit faced at the open bar and nobody batting an eye because the parents were too busy making silent auction bids on all the high brow luxury vehicles available.

I watched somebody successfully buy a jeep for their kid (by far the most pedestrian vehicle there) and the kid immediately asked if she could trade it in for something better. The dad shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess. We'll have to ask the dealer."
