The Original Social Media: Pineapples!

Imagine you’re the mistress of a New England home during Colonial times and important people are coming to dinner. Absolutely nothing was better at conveying “I’m on trend and I can deliver the best” than an exotic pineapple. They were shipped by sailing ships from the Caribbean and very hard to come by. Serving one telegraphed one’s wealth and status better than any Gucci bag would today.
 
Thus the pineapple became the symbol of lavish hospitality that finds it expression in so many fashion and style elements today.
