    The hem on those shorts is utterly beautiful, I mean: just look at them! They're short and filmy and white, such dull things in themselves, but the hem! It elevates them to new, subtle, beautiful, ephemeral heights! They are no longer just shorts but amazing white dream like garments that remind us of flowers, clouds, and castles in the sky with ramparts leading onto bronze towers. Those shorts are more than just shorts: they are dreams.

    Judging by her shirt and shorts, she appears to be attempting to morph into Tinkerbell. If we quit believing she exists, maybe her fame will die?

    @wtfox?!: No, no, no. They meet in the secret dungeon (the basement of Nana's condo) and don their official uniforms (tin foil hats) to get that information. They don't carry it around in their bags or the documents (Spencer's scribbling on a yellow legal pad) might get mixed up with their important papers (old scripts from The Hills.)

    @CollegeCamel: Only if her Birkin was the large, orange ostrich model (40k). And she was using it as a shopping bag.

    I saw this in Monaco. The woman was using it to carry LOAVES OF BREAD!! That was the most blatant example of conspicuous consumption I'll ever see.

    If that bag actually costs $8000, the proceeds had better damn well go towards rescuing kitties and children and unicorns, for seriously.


    There is no way a lamb's worth of leather and a few bucks of metal wrapped into a squareish shape and then filled with air and giant sunglasses is worth $8000.

    @tscheese: I thought that one went for more than 8k, but maybe that was the orange ostrich version. I saw one of those in Monaco two years ago - the woman carrying it had actually stuffed a baguette into the thing!

    @Gretchen: They start at around $8K and go all the way up to $100K, depending on all sorts of ridiculous criteria, such as whether the bag was made of endangered yak leather by virgins under a vow of silence.
