i had a semi? related idea about giving money a bit more use by letting folks buy gaudy hats, accessories, jewelry, bling, etc. of varying quality
one problem is that if the stuff has an in-game benefit or use it seems like you'd end up with the HoP draining the budget every round to deck himself out, which would probably stop being funny around the 100th time. so I was thinking that beyond the small change to your ingame sprite you'd get from wearing this stupid stuff you could have a harmless but noticeable benefit based on the aggregate quality of the shit you're wearing. maybe like a green glow or access to a custom emote or something harmless that just denotes your superiority
also just as grabselfing has different actions depending on whether or not you have a fake mustache it could respond to such useless accessories as well:
X shows off his/her meager display of swag. What a chump.
X shows off his/her moderate display of swag.
X shows off his/her impressive display of swag. Whoa!
X shows off his/her staggering display of swag. Goddamn that's Gucci.
