Puttin on Airs First of all, Happy Birthday to my son Jeff. He turns 37 today. Wow. I'm old. I started early, though. Yup 37 years ago (at 1:10 this morning) he came into the world bottom first. Love that kid. ****************Wow, just when I think I�ve seen everything, I find I have just seen the tip of the iceberg. Imagine this. You are going out with your significant other. It is a very important event to in which he/she is receiving an award. There will be some very important people there. You have a basic simple black dress to wear. Nobody can tell it isn�t a designer dress, which makes it perfect. So what if you bought it at W@llmart. It looks fabulous on you. You have the simple, basic black sandals from P@yless. Again, no telling where they came from. And now the troubles begin. How on earth are you going to be able to rub elbows with all of these beautiful people when you are a nobody? You aren�t an actress. You aren�t a politician. You aren�t famous for anything. OMG! Nobody will speak to you! You can�t have that! That will not do. You must make a statement. You must be worthy. Do what do you do? I shall tell you. You go to this place and rent designer necklace, bracelet and a Gucci evening bag. Everyone loves you and you are the bell of the ball. Weekly Rental of Louis Vuitton purse? $132.00
Weekly Rental of Louis Vuitton necklace? 35.00
Weekly Rental of Alex Woo bracelet? 77.00 Look on your bosses face when she shows up with identical items? Priceless I could never understand the need for designer things. I can understand if it is a matter of quality. Of course paying more for something that lasts longer makes sense. I have some sweaters that I bought at a local store that I have thrown in the washer at least a dozen times and still look brand new. I have sweaters bought at the local W@llmart that looked horrible after a few washings. I would have had to buy about 7 sweaters to last as long as the more expensive one. No savings there. But basically, that�s ok. I bore easily. After I have worn a sweater 4 or 5 times, I get tired of it anyway, so it�s okay if it falls apart. The ones that I really like, I pay more for. I think the oldest one I own is about 12 years old and I bought that at P@nny�s. I digress. Designer things. Yes, that�s what I was going on about. Purses. Now I can understand these new purses with picture frames on the side. Who doesn�t want to show off their newest child or grandchild? I have a friend that has pictures of her basset hound on hers. Though that isn�t my bag (pun fully intended) I understand it. I do not understand carrying around a purse that advertises a man�s name that I have never met, have not desire to meet , not whom I have any connection with. Louis who? Or the Coach line. I see a coach purse and I want to tell them, �No dear, that isn�t a coach, it is a purse. A coach is much bigger and would hold a lot more stuff.� One of the purses you can rent is a Chanel. It says Chanel right on the purse. I don�t get it. I would think that would be like wearing a sign that says, �Hey bitch, I have more money that you.� Well, dear, maybe you do. But that may just change if you keep buying those outrageously priced handbags. Or the other one. What is the other one? Oh yes, Yves St. Laurent. You have a purse with her name on it. Well, goodie for you. I am going to embroider �Karen Murray� on a piece of soft leather and sew that to my vinyl purse. When anyone asks about it, I am going to say, �Oh, this is by that famous Scottish designer. I got it for a steal. I only paid $600.00 for it.� I wonder how that would go over. I only know that wether it be $150 to rent one for a week or one to two thousand to own it, I can think of better ways to spend my money. And if I ever feel so inferior that I have to pretend to be richer than I am, I will stay home. Me, in my W@llmart Jammies, sipping hot chocolate from my Target mug and watching TV from my build-it-yourself loveseat kit. Have a great day!
Later,
Cosmic
