Hi Heather:

Can anyone explain to me what they think the 'bobo' lifestyle is, because 
maybe I have got it wrong?  Can you compare it with the Yuppies of the late 
80s?
Is it the lifestyle (term of art) that everyone must be a part of, such was 
yuppism?
Acutally, I am not disenchanted with it all, it (bobo-ism) is just done to 
such excess here, it has become rather amusing and unglamorous.

But maybe it is not 'bobo' per se, that offends me so.  Perhaps I mix up 
'bobo-ism' with fragrant arrogance and conspicuous consumption and that 
haughty attitude that defines those who overcompensate for their immense lack 
of self esteem.

Thanks for your message.  I now get to take a look at my opinions and verify 
their accuracy.  Good work Heather, made me think ';-)
