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.
Hermes will never sell to LVMH in a million, billion years. Like Chanel, it's family owned, independent, has no diffusion or bridge lines, and is quality-focused rather than worldwide domination-focused--and that's a HUGE part of their image. There's no way they'd risk destroying their image and alienating customers by selling.
@ChildBride: I agree with you there. I can't see Hermes being swallowed up by a corporate conglomeration and becoming a "brand" like LV with labels and shit all over it. Their history and yes, quality, is what makes Hermes so special. And so absolutely outrageously expensive. I kind of feel like LV has been sort of cheapened in recent years. Like when I was younger, I'd go in the LV shop and just gaze at everything and it seemed so rare and beautiful. Nowadays the market is flooded with the stuff and it's not special anymore. The same is definitely not true for Hermes and hopefully never will be.
If I call Rosemary Port names, she can sue Google to release my information, and then I can sue Google for doing it! Profit!!!!
Honestly, Rosemary, if you throw stones, there's every possibility someone is going to hurl boulders back. Anonymity is no defense for libel, slander, or defamation.
I nearly refunded my breakfast when I read the bit about AA selling bags of fabric scraps. Because I am imagining a slightly damp plastic shopping bag full of sweat-and-mustache-stained gold lame and brightly colored spandex. All of which would smell like a butt. Oop here it comes.....
@AthertonMerriweather: I'm pretty sure he was doing this to MJ's coffin when he sang at the memorial, even behind his stupid sunglasses. He was making sweet, lip-licking love to that coffin.
