How could she do this!?

As an artist of a kind, I can kind of see the angle, the shallowest level of commentary at play here. But it's the cheap, schlock nature of the execution that disinterests, baffles, then worries me. It worries me because impressionable artistically-inclined people will see this as food for thought, and will then pump more of this unimaginative crap into the world. Tyler Shields and Ms. Eastwood (Clint's DNA no longer has the respect I'd have given it, had the stuff ever crossed my mind) are clearly bored, wealthy, people so high on their own hyper-sexualised, slow-motion pop nothingness, that they resorted to a tactic like this. It was a terrible waste of a bag, even if it was a $179 knock-off. Stick to the boring, boring "flashion" softcore porn you do so "well", and leave objects of nobility alone. Leave it to artists who KNOW how to use the "material" of a perfect, expensive object in the creation of a work which has artistic sentiment of true resonance.

I've of course considered the idea of an "exploded" Hermès icon. The idea of dissecting a bag is an interesting one (though in no way, original), and this could actually be staggeringly beautiful. A Bleu France kelly pressed into waving flag-shaped confetti, painstakingly suspended in a large block of crystal clear resin in the form of a bust of the former First Lady of France yelling in protest, could be an idea, one I just pulled out of my a**.

Any who, I'm sure we're all waiting for the next Shields/Eastwood collaboration with baited breath. And if it doesn't arrive? At least the twosome are very attractive, we can all look at them and once again consider which came first, the chicken, the egg or the deep-fried chicken omelette at 3am, with a VitaminWater and a small baggie of cocaine hilariously paid for by my dad.

How could she do this? One word: Desperation. She is "Clint Eastwood's daughter" and will always be known exclusively for her famous father. She is flailing for attention, since fame of some (any) sort, sadly, is the only value system many celebrity offspring comprehend. I pity her, actually, and I would add that all of us have already spent MUCH more time on this subject than it is worth. If her act offends us, there is one response certain to bite back: IGNORE HER.

Extremely well put if I might say.

Clint Eastwood's daughter must have waaaaaay too much money to blow, 'cause the reality TV star just lit a $100,000 Birkin bag on fire ... all for the sake of a photo shoot.

19-year-old Francesca Eastwood -- who stars in the E! show "Mrs. Eastwood and Company" -- and her celebrity photographer boyfriend Tyler Shieldsdecided to drop some major cash on the Hermes hand bag ... just so they could DESTROY IT!

If you don't know, the luxury-item bags range from $9,000 to $150,000 a pop (this was the $100k version) which apparently made no dent in the duo's wallet, because they sliced it in half with a chain saw and then let it burn -- all while the camera captured the fashion murder on film.

The photo is on TMZ. It was a croc :faint:

I don't know the reason they did that, but I think that's just arrogant. If they don't give a damn about these bags and just want to protest or something, I think the classier way to do it would be to just to let it be and just give the money to a charity or something.

Or if the reason is to show off, that's arrogant AND tacky.

"Art"? Bwahahaha!!!
Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne and Renoir will continue to be worshipped long after brainless poseurs like Tyler Sheilds and celebrities' spawn have been forgotten.

Totally agree, Madame Bijoux! And how much is the alleged artist selling his work for? And why does he think that the effort and time the artisans put into the creation of a beautiful handcrafted birkin is worth less than the 5 or so minutes that he put into the creation of his schlock?
Personally, I am tired of seeing mediocre "art"; I wonder how he would feel if I took a chainsaw and blowtorch to some of his work...
