    "Coco's solution? Wear less."

    I've seen her at BB's. There's no way.


    Also LOL @ Vacca and Varvatos. Srsly, guys, how about you each take credit for designing something for someone else and then you don't have to fight. What's that? You only have the energy for one customer per awards show? Oh, okay. o_0


    Plus, props to Becks for talking Hermes down and/or making them give him a discount for the custom work. I thought that was what the regular Birkins cost these days.

    It might be just me, but I get a little teary when I read about these ridiculously luxurious purchases.

    @Samanthrax: ME TOO. My scalp shuddered. My SCALP.


    I know there's no set-in-stone, always-objective way to estimate worth, or the value of a persons' contributions to the world at large and how much they should be compensated for their efforts, but this just struck me as abso-fucking-lutely heinous.


    The Beckhams: The man is a pro athlete, and the lady was once an entertainer. Yes, they entertain us; yes, sport and entertainment are shared cultural experiences that distract us from the hum-drum tedium of the cold average-Jane daily grind.


    But the dude kicks a little ball around. She sang sometimes. What are they doing for the human race as a whole that they can blithely drop MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY months' worth of my rent on a bag that DEAR GOD WHY DOES A $120K HANDBAG EXIST.


    I'm not saying the wealthy shouldn't enjoy the fruits of their labors - I'm sure they've worked very hard to get to where they are. But dear lord.

    @tscheese: Yeah- I'm not hatin' on a nice bag. I get it. But 120k far exceeds the bar for nauseating spending just cause you can. It speaks volumes. Tacky, tacky volumes.

    Why am I suddenly confused about the Birkin bag? It was named after Jane Birkin, right? And she was around after Kelly.....

    @Penny Plastic (Archetype): I'm confused too, because I think in fact this is a Kelly bag by Hermes. So named, because Grace Kelly hid her 'babybump' (in the 50s) behind it. Jane Birkin helped design the Birkin by Hermes, in the 80s.

    Advantages to walking around naked:

    1. Save on clothes.

    2. No need to buy accessories to match clothes.

    Disadvantage: Increased heating costs.

    Cloud has a silver lining: No need to buy those fake nipples to make it appear that your nipples are hard as rocks because they will naturally be that way because they are freezing off.
