Are we ballers or not so much? We've noticed an increasingly alarming trend amongst Egypt's supposed 'Elite.' 

Everyone wants to give off the impression that they're loaded and rolling around in dough, the extreme need to show off left and right in this country is becoming sickening, but when push comes to shove and everyone's wallets need to come out, oh so conveniently no one seems to be around! Everyone may seem to be running around in designer duds, but it's starting to look like everything is a matter of image and fronting, than actuality!

So you all want to be big rockstars, we blame MTV for making everyone feel that the only way they can be legitimate members in society is by having a gigantic table, and 20 bottles of Moet on it...none of us are P. Diddy, and certainly none of us are living in a video clip.

We are baffled by the amount of people who want to exude the above mentioned impression while riding on other's coat tails! Have we become that spoilt of a society, who have gotten used to invitation only events, that when it's time to cough up the change (which everyone claims they have) a grand or two of what you ordered in drinks, etc...just don't seem so worth it?

Cairo help us dissect the issue because we sure as hell can't figure it out...is it better to play a role (which is alarmingly transparent) or live within your means, whatever they may be?
