The Rich Have It Tough

In Good Housekeeping magazine, Martha Stewart discusses her prison ordeal:

At Alderson, Stewart reached out to the other prisoners, urging them into activities. "We'd have picnics" — Stewart and the other prisoners were free to roam the prison camp's 100-plus acres during the day — "and we'd have dinner parties," she says. She and about eight other inmates regularly exercised together. "We did 500 sit-ups every night, and I taught yoga." She still practices yoga, and works out with a trainer at 6:30 a.m. three days a week. "And I told stories about what it's like to work and about good business behavior. I was a role model for a lot of these women."
and subsequent house arrest:

After prison came more than five months of house arrest at her 153-acre estate in Bedford, NY, during which Stewart wore an electronic ankle bracelet.


While, in Harper's Bazaar, to accompany a "serious" article about the popularity of rehab among celebrities as a lifestyle option, actress Chloe Sevigny is shown wearing designer gear in a mock-up photo-shoot offering precisely that.

Who said these people have no sense of irony?
