Barbra Streisand's Passion for a Bargain!

I was sitting in the Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset Strip one afternoon in the 70s and an ivory Rolls Royce convertible came to a stop in front of the place. There were two people in the car and they were screaming at each other, I mean really going at it. Then, a somewhat short, but hot, bearded man with long dark hair jumped out of driver's side, slammed the door and stalked off, waving his arms. For a moment the woman sat there turned around in the seat, speechless at last, following him silently with her eyes. Then Barbra slid into the driver's seat, put the thing in Drive, and left Jon Peters staring after her instead.

Here's my deal though, she is rolling in dough and she is haggling over $67.50! Cheapo please!

I saw an article somewhere about her big house re-decoration. She mentions that she grew up with nothing, not even a sofa (I think), and her decorating style really shows that. And she has a row of 'shops' in an indoor mall where she displays her collections. I like how she thought it all up herself instead of paying some trendy designer to do it.

""Sam, You Made the Pants Too Expensive." I'm dyinngg. =)

Thank you for putting a positive spin on what could have otherwise been a dissing of the via.

She's my idol too

I think many pros (beauty pros! In all fields) are kind of do it yourselfers in their minds, knowing to put together elements, textures and they don't much buy into the hype of things, names, but know quality. Once this is understood, concocting something, a room, an outfit, it's a matter of using what you like, what you find to get the result, and $ isn't always indicator of what you want, must have, etc. Though some people are just hopelessly cheap!
