*For the '''''Borgia''''' connection on Pucci/Pucrezia, see under [[Lavishes]]. <br />
*"Pucci" is a take on the fashion house of ''Pucci;'' "Pucci" is also a take on ''Gucci'' - overpriced designer accessories for the woman with more money than taste, generally flaunted by suddenly rich girl-groups and footballers' wives and girlfriends, and now thought of by the fashion fascists as the mark of the gauche and nouveau-riche. Well, if ''anybody'' can buy them just because they've got the money to, then they're not '''''exclusive''''' any more, it stands to reason, doesn't it? It's like the thing with chavs and Burberry... Emilio Pucci's ancestors were wealthy Florentine merchant-bankers and rivals to the Medici, not unlike the Lavishes. <br />
*"Pucci" is also pronounced "Poochie", which is rather mean, although unkind men might well see the joke and murmur "woof woof!" as she walks by...<br />
*Interestingly enough, in {{CJ}}, [[Vlad de Magpyr]]'s pet name for his sister [[Lacrimosa]] is a similar contraction: ''Lacrimosa'' shortens to '''''Lacci'''''. In invoking a distant echo of the de Magpyrs, could it be that the suggestion is being made that the banking [[Lavishes]] are a different sort of vampire family, sucking a different sort of lifeblood out of the system - in this case [[Ankh-Morpork]] - to sustain themselves as not-very-efficient parasites. (the sort that don't realise it's in their best interests not to get too greedy and kill the host they're living off.)<br />
