Discussion on Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Book Review

As Lorelei Lee is travelling through Europe, and through her own life, she is concerned with acquiring cultural capital. One of the themes running through Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is the construction of cultural value or social status through material objects. However, we constantly see that objects in the novel can be misleading or are deliberately used to produce misinterpretation. For example, on page 53 Lorelei is "depressed" when she realizes that it is impossible to distinguish, with a naked eye, between a real diamond tiara and a paste imitation, and when meeting Henry's mother on page 93-94, Lorelei creates an impression of modesty by putting on "a pair of black lace mitts that Dorothy used to wear at the Follies" (i.e. an accessory that was used for cabaret dancing). Consider what the use of misleading objects in the novel might suggest about the cultural capital or social roles they are supposed to represent. How do they contribute to the overall argument(s) of the novel?
