@Penny: yeah 299 doesn't seem so crazed to me. Mind you I personally wouldn't buy them, but I see boots all the time that run well over 100 so...? #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@Penny: $299 — at H&M — is just against my nature. For God's sake, with a little creativity, you can find Manolos for well under $200! #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
If the MadMen line is selling at Brooks Brothers expect it to be crazy expensive. I've been in BB from time to time when looking for a simple black skirt/pants and that shit is bananas expensive. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@bluebears: I saw an ad for the Mad Men/Brooks Brothers suits, and I think they were around $900/$1000. I'm not sure how much Brooks Brothers normally charges, and that's definitely way more than I'd ever pay, but I don't think it's as crazy expensive as, say, an Armani suit. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@ytuhermanotambien: yeah I don't know about mens suit prices but the womens clothes at BB are just beyond expensive. They're basically more conservative version of the stuff at Banana or Ann Taylor but they are like 3 times the price.
Those Tom Ford quotes are priceless. I particularly enjoyed the quip about the bonzai trees taking a trip to the countryside each month for their necessary sun exposure. His dry, sarcastic wit makes me want to be close friends with him, or at least invite him to a fantasy dinner party. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget
@katie.scarlett.o'hara: I didn't realize the model was pregnant. And I should not have written "natural" , as a pregnant belly is both natural AND acceptable in fashion. But that doesn't really change my poorly worded point about the world of fashion failing to accept round, non-pregnant or non-designer bellies.
OK, I know I'm probably in the minority here but as a somewhat crafty person who likes shiny things I'll admit that I paused at the American Apparel scraps item. And maybe took a little gander at the website. DON'T JUDGE.
@RustyHeadedGirl is back in Miami!: Dude, buy cheapie offcuts from a fabric store. Or scour garage sales for old fabrics and yarns. It'll be cheaper and there'll be more variety so you won't end up with a sack o' spangled jersey. Trust me, I sew.
@Jenna: I know. $8 for a bag of scraps is ridiculous. I could get a crate of scraps from my mom for free. I just had to look to satisfy my own curiosity.
Doesn't anyone else remember reading that long footnote in the Federalist Papers where James Madison goes on and on about how Brutus is, like, such a ho? And then of course next month Robert Yates was all like, Nuh uh, you're a big fat skank, Publius, and everyone knows it!
This statement deserves cupcakes. I will start on that forthwith!!
Admittedly, that Penguin thing from WS is adorable and were I a millionaire, I'd probably buy one just to display in my kitchen. Also admittedly, I would gnaw off my own finger to have a collection of Hermes enamel bracelets. I fucking lust after those things and I don't even like jewelry. Oh one more thing: Petit Bateau makes plain white t-shirts for wee lads 'n lasses. As far as I know, American clothing people don't offer baby clothes that aren't emblazoned with such barfy statements as "Little Squirt" or whatever. I used to nanny for some French people and their little dude had a lot of PB clothing. Trust me when I say that there are few things cuter than a three-year-old in a white t-shirt and baggy cargo shorts. Especially if said three-year-old has a French accent and owns a scarf and a dressy top coat. Squee.

Harlot! Those skirts are above the knee! This would not fly at my all-girls Catholic high school. #jeanpaulgaultierfortarget

Unless I totally misread your comment, in which case, carry on.
