isn't this kinda the definition of a status symbol though? the few celeb-ish people I know are somewhat cloistered, mostly out of necessity
-
I'd say definition of a true status symbol is it is rare or difficult to acquire, it's a marker for the ability to get it
-
aside from people who were pre-application verified as a matter of course (celebs/journos mostly) it reads as overly vain
-
it certainly does
-
I guess what I'm saying is, a lot of status symbols read this way to me
