In the California, the way to subtly let everyone know that you are gay, have some money, are politically aware - but not over the top is to put a little HRC sticker on your bumper.

Well, clearly there are no bumpers in New York. So in New York the way to let everyone know that you are gay, have some money and.. well that's it.... they don't care if you are political if you are hot. Wear a DWR Messenger Bag. FYI- that is really how they refer to it. "DWR... (significant pause) .. ah.. Design Within Reach 0- hello?"

Yes, dear, we all know what it is - we just didn't know you were that shallow.

And, in case you don't know, Design Within Reach was a company that did wonderful and cheap knock offs of famous furniture lines. Until they got caught. Now they license the pieces form the heirs and their prices are crazy and so NOT within reach (example).
