I always admire people who can have intricately carved pumpkins. Even with a stencil, anything above triangle eyes and a grin is too much for me. I have absolutely NO hand-eye coordination.

Uh...how do I download it? Dammit, I've been staying up too late with The Gentleman Caller for a few weeks and my brains are mush. Diana Prince would NOT approve.

I would have been more impressed if Michelle had worn an Alaia to the Met Museum instead of the Met Opera House. It would have been like sticking it to the man after Alaia not being included in the Model's show.

Valentino holds nothing to the way Mary McCarthyite lives:

A thermostat that I cannot control in any season; the hum of the RFK Bridge outside my open windows; and un-uniformed chambermaid (self) quaffing Brita-filtered tap water from hand-me-down glasses.

I live in a Hansel and Gretel apartment. I don't even have toaster!

I've always preferred the Kelly to the Birkin. It's more tailored. (Not that I will ever own either, although I do have a vintage bag that is a vague knock-off of the Kelly).

@Flackette Goes Retro: I, too, love the Kelly but prefer the Birkin over the 2.55

I cannot get my head around owning 100 Birkins! They're not even that nice! At least pick something like a 2.55, then again she does have rather questionable taste.

@nessalicious: It's about the history, luxury, and tradition with Hermes. Aesthetically, they might not be your thing...but there's the hand-stitching, craftmanship, made-to-order, customization etc. is the stuff of legends.

page 175 or so:

@IrockIroll: I know about the background of Hermes, but the Birkin, to me is just such a yawnsome bag. I'd much prefer to have one of their amazing custom made bags, did you ever see the one they made to hold an apple? It was amazing.

@bleedingmouths: I agree, sometimes you can love the background but hate the item. I find this true with a lot of fashion designers and looks. I especially dislike the look of a YSL 'le smoking' but I understand that it was a beautiful and revolutionary outfit but god it's unflattering!

Dreamweave McJudgypants wants to say that her owning $2 million dollars of worth of fucking purses in ANY economy, much less this one, is seriously challenging my otherwise inexplicable love for Posh.

Princess Leela

@dreamweave: Yeah ... I'm trying to justify by thinking of the nice old French leather workers in the Hermes factory (I assume they're nice, old and French, anyway) she's single-handedly supporting with her habit ... but hmm, still not so sure about this being an efficient use of resources.

Perhaps she could keep buying 'em, but then auction off one a month and donate the dough to struggling fashion students/soccer leagues for disadvantaged youth/some other apropos and deserving charity ... that would be a cool recessionista move.

(Oops. I forgot the ban on words ending in -ista.)

Honeslty, I'm shocked and impressed if Anna Wintour's office chairs cost $250 apiece. By Vogue standards, that's bargain-bin.

@LaMorena: yeah, even a crappy Office Max one is what, $70? And a nice retail one might be $150 or so? So it's really not too much of a price jump at all.

Hi, Michelle Obama? Could you please repeat what you said about the arts to the Canadian government? Because it's something that Mr. Harper really, really needs to hear right now.

It would be really nice if Mr. "The Average Canadian Doesn't Care About Art" could see the light before he does away with arts funding altogether.
