This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

Alone on a yacht...
I reviewed a cruise ship years ago (can't remember the name, I've done a lot of travel writing) but I do remember it was the highest rated cruise ship afloat at the time, had an open fire in the library (with a permanent staff member posted next to it oin case it needed putting out) and was filled with old Americans who toddled off to bed at about 9pm en masse.
Leaving me, in my tuxedo, the only person in the cocktail bar.
So there I am, sitting on the deck smoking a cigarette, sipping a scotch watching the waves go by while someone grills a lobster, pours melted butter over the top and brings it to my table by the railings.
Just myself, the view and about six staff with fuck all else to do but hover around bringing fresh drinks every time I gestured.

The image is very appealing....
but unfortunately I have no sea legs and would no doubt have been laughed at by the crew for yacking up the lobster over railings. Yilf.
