“Privileged Little Artiste Writing Something Oh-So-Precious Into His Moleskine Notebook”
After gently unfastening the elastic strap keeping his dearest musings safe from prying eyes, little literary artiste Evan Stansky penned a few more darling thoughts into his clothbound Moleskine notebook Wednesday. “These are much higher quality than the notebooks you find at CVS,” lilted the auteur, who couldn’t be bothered to use—dare it be said—a journal of lesser craftsmanship or pedigree, or one not famously used by such legendary artists as van Gogh and Hemingway. “They’re a little more expensive, but I try to write on both sides so I don’t go through them as quickly.” At press time, the princely scribe was seen finishing his apricot jasmine tea, asking a mere mortal sitting nearby to watch his literary accoutrements, and then prancing off to the Starbucks powder room, light as a feather.

Now wait a minute, George, the Moleskine used to be a bone of contention between us! [see link above] May we, the haters, now welcome you to our ranks? xo

My dear Maud, I still use a Moleskine, but consider myself something of an outlier in the demographic chart. Even if I’m not, that’s damn funny.

Addendum: I’m still using original ones I bought all those years ago, that were made in Italy, not China. Once I use up that supply, I won’t be buying more.

Well, as long as you only use original, Italian moleskines…nothing pretentious about that. :-D
