Poor thing.

She has to spend, like, quality time with her dad.

He's totally minted, right, but he never takes her shopping.

It's better if you're famous yourself

cos then you're going to the same parties and premieres and whatever. You're on the same circuit.

Plus, if you're a bit of celebrity

-then they don't think you're a gold-digger.

Maybe you can get a job in one of them posh shops.

You might get spotted and invited to parties.
