Glamping: No One Asked But I Say “Nay”

None of my camping or backpacking trips would ever be called “glamorous.” I’ve never had a butler to toast my s’mores, a maid to offer nightly turn-down service in my designer tent, nor a concierge to arrange my hike so I specifically wouldn’t have to suffer through any boring parts.
Of course, that isn’t camping, it’s luxurious “glamping,” for people who want to experience nature without…well, without actually experiencing nature.
As much as I want to encourage more people to get outside, please let this glamping trend (which took off thanks to supermodel Kate Moss's appearance at muddy British festivals) end soon.
And don’t Kate and her trendy followers know there are more appropriate clothes and footwear for camping than a couture mini dress paired with Wellies? Maybe I should send her and her fellow fashionistas some suggestions. Perhaps some Patagonia or Nau?
