King of Shoes

As the sun sets over the cloudless violet horizon, the King of Shoes fiercely brandishes a pair of the evening's Hot Tickets. How did he manage to acquire such perfect seats, at the last minute, for half price? He must know someone, you speculate. In fact, he knows everyone -- it's the secret to his success. Every moment of every day is an opportunity to network. Oh, and to look sharp.

Meaning: Edifying affiliations, an influence of style.

Reversed: An unhealthy insularity. Codependence.
