The layroom or f nfants erribles
Unlike everyone else they had dealings with (mainly servants), brothers Zachary & Isaac had had a playroom for as long as they could remember. It was enormous and held captured secrets in every nook and cranny.

The abundance of toys was only superseded by the amount of clothing they had at their disposal. Many would have called them capricious, overindulged, and endowed with massive superiority complexes. They were just a result of circumstance and happenstance. Their ability to have whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, wherever they wanted, created a world that ran parallel to reality. Their passion for fashion led them to create their outfits based upon style icons such as Spandau Ballet (a band from the 80s), Karl Lagerfeld, and many of their day’s creations were borne by the collision of unaligned references. For example, Duran Duran with Olivia Newton-John. Their love for each other was only outweighed by the competitiveness they had for creating the perfect outfit. The judges were one of their “reality checks”. These came via Instagram - another faceless and virtual interaction with others. The number of “likes” and “comments” were like food for their souls. Unadulterated narcissism would be the judgement of others, but these two lived a life of self-indulgent bliss in the playroom; unaware that they were even being be judged. Ignorance, for them, was truly bliss.
