Market Girl 

A market girl is a term for a transient and passing moment of beauty. A girl who is way more attractive than she has any right to be, wearing cheap clothes and garish gold jewellery that should be repellent, but on her is intoxicating. And she is ephemeral, within 1-2 years, her beauty will be long gone, mislaid somewhere between pizzas in front of Jeremy Kyle and a string of useless wanker boyfriends who all do the unspeakable things to her that the rest of us only dare to dream of...

Dave: So, is she marriage material, then?

Pete: Nah, mate, she’s a market girl, only 2 years left before she’ll have a tramp stamp and a pushchair!

market price 

"Market price" may be listed on a restaurant menu in lieu of a dollar value when an expensive item, typically seafood, fluctuates with market conditions. People don't normally ask before ordering because this makes the patron look cheap or poor, so this conspicuous consumption can be used as a sign of wealth.

It's the food equivalent of "bling".

Did you see that dude order the market price lobster? Baller.
