Luxury?

There are some superb exhibitions at the V&A, "Shoes: Pleasure and Pain" and "What is Luxury?" Today we had a great time looking at how luxury is made and understood as well as wandering through 200 pairs of remarkable & ridiculous shoes. Social inequalities raise new questions about what the term "luxury" means to people today and the debate includes less tangible forms of luxury such as the desire for space and time. So today's blip would have been an extra-ordinary shoe, but no photos were allowed, so it's an extra-ordinarily luxurious exhibit instead.

The exhibition finished with the question; "What is your luxury?" Now that's a good question I have yet to answer.
