I was responding in general. It's a really commonly used explanation for Fantasia and I've seen it used in connection with the "Glamour" justification a lot recently, too. People from tribal backgrounds having enough wealth to purchase an extremely luxurious commodity for the purpose of changing their appearance. People should just be aware that it raises more questions than it answers... where did the money come from? Why did the character feel so strongly about changing their race that they expended such a great deal of wealth on it? And so on. Sadly people have a tendency to leave these unanswered and treat the Fantasia issue as something they wish would just go away.
