I would rather weep in a Rolls-Royce than be happy on a bicycle. Words to live...and kill by.

#9. Quel Scandale! : Murder, She Wore (originally published Oct. 11, 2011)

Of all my Quel Scandale! posts, this one is nearest and dearest to my heart. This story has everything I could possibly want: an imperious woman with no sense of reality who hatched a plot with her psychic to kill her ex-husband, heir to one of the greatest fashion dynasties of the 20th century. But it's Patrizia Reggiani's abject refusal to even consider working, preferring to stay locked up behind bars, that elevates her to true icon status in the hallowed pantheon of  "Bitches Be Cray."
