			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 384px"><img src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01576/cashmere-loo_1576089c.jpg" alt="" width="374" height="233" /><p class="wp-caption-text">CASHMERE! THIS IS CASHMERE! from telegraph.co.uk. </p></div>
<p>Earlier this year, as USG campaigns raged on and the campus discovered <a href="http://princetonfml.com">its newest way to procrastinate</a> (Ok, this is before <a href="http://www.universitypressclub.com/archive/2010/03/time-waster-of-the-week-robot-unicorn-attack/">Robot Unicorn Attack.</a>), we realized that, well, Princeton&#8217;s needs are humble.</p>
<p><a href="http://princetonfml.com/?s=toilet+paper">Two-ply. </a>Or even, maybe, softer one ply? I don&#8217;t know, I&#8217;m just tossing out ideas here.</p>
<p>But why <em>should</em> our demands be so humble? <a href="http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2010/03/08/25465/">Think of our futures&#8211;</a>earlier this week the Daily Princetonian reported that a full third of Princeton students go on to work in finance. (<a href="http://gawker.com/5490406/six-lies-princeton-kids-tell-about-why-theyre-becoming-investment-bankers">But not for the money&#8211;because they&#8217;re &#8220;genuinely interested!&#8221;</a>)</p>
<p>And so today, I introduce to you: <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6770590/Cashmere-loo-roll-the-ultimate-bathroom-indulgence.html">cashmere toilet paper.</a> That&#8217;s right, future Masters of the Universe. That&#8217;s for you.</p>
<blockquote><p>The supermarket won&#8217;t reveal quite how much cashmere goes into each roll, but    insists it is a &#8220;significant&#8221; amount. No cashmere fibres    themselves are included in the manufacturing process. Rather, the paper is    covered in oil extracted from the hairs of the cashmere goat.</p>
<p>Carla Smith, buyer for Waitrose, said: “Cashmere provides that stamp of    quality to any fashion garment from a designer suit to the finest luxury    knitwear. It’s indulgent, it’s stylish and it’s helping provide that extra    softness to our new premium bathroom tissue collection.”</p></blockquote>
