When she was six, word got out that a dead whale had washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. Bobby — who likes to study animal skulls and skeletons — ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York. “Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kick recalls.
Just realized this article is from 2012 lol. I think it’s relevant to the current news cycle, but I understand if the mods wish to delete.
I’ve never read Town & Country, but I bet it’s America’s WASPiest, most petit bourgeois magazine. A 2010 NYT article says, “According to Town & Country’s own research, the average household income of its readers is $306,932.”
I think the third party estimate at the top of the NYT article makes more sense:
According to GfK Mediamark Research & Intelligence, the main demographics research firm for magazines, Town & Country’s readers have a median annual income of just $61,614, putting it just ahead of readers of Dirt Rider, but trailing Good Housekeeping, Cooking With Paula Deen and Four Wheeler.
Town & Country and similar magazines are for readers with ordinary incomes and fantastic aspirations.
