fanciness

“There wasn’t fanciness or pampering or anything. We were all just in it together. I really do feel like we all took care of each other on this. We looked out for each other.”

“It’s the kind of thing I wear when I want to be reminded that I’m someone with a deeper capacity for fanciness than I let on.”

The problem is: Most of the justices, and certainly most politicians and judges and people of generalized fanciness already do have friends like Harlan Crow.

“We didn’t want to put our whole careers in jeopardy just for the fanciness of coming together because we are friends. There had to be a reason: the maker and the subject.”

Something about the way the director Jane Campion went overboard on Sunday to identify with, then insult, Venus and Serena Williams at an awards show brought to mind a night of botched fanciness that happened to me.
