I was once carrying my orange Birkin browsing in FCUK store, a high street clothes store here. A young SA came to me asking whether I needed any help. She saw my bag and said "oh I have the exactly the same bag!" I was a bit taken aback and said "oh good for you!" and she went on to say her parents bought it for her on a trip somewhere. So I said "Oh lucky you, I had to pay for mine myself!"

I watched the eclipse on the TV. If it had been going over my head, i think I would have hidden in a closet for fear of going blind. I wouldn't even trust the glasses that were available for eclipse viewing

In other Hermes related news, at dinner last night, I was treated to the worst looking Constance fakeroo. It had an adjustable strap and a snap closure under the H! Quelle horreur!!. This same woman has a fake Kelly, but it is not as egregious a fake and i was able to tolerate it across the dinner table at the time several years ago. I believe that when I last saw her months ago, she was carrying a fake mini Chanel. She is clueless that these are fakes and thinks that she got a "good deal" in Italy. I wonder if she bought them from the guys who set up in the squares where the sellers of fakes all hang out.

I was worried about the blind thing too. The library ran out of glasses early in the month. I decided not to pursue the glasses. On the news there was a picture of a crowd in NYC peering up at the sky and all of them had glasses on except this one young woman who was shading her eyes with her hand. Boy, I hope she's all right.
The eclipse was coming and I was in the midst of negotiating an best offer. Emails were flying back and forth -- what's condition of item, when will I get it, what shipping options do I have, etc., etc. and I was watching the sky thru the window at the same time waiting for 2:42 pm to come. It was a foreign transaction and I got rattled and gave the seller more than I had intended (I could have cancelled the offer but I'd already sent it). Tho it wasn't a huge amount more, I will never make another Best Offer when an eclipse is going on. Somehow even saying the words in the same breath: "eclipse, best offer," sounds like an oxymoron.

Anyhow, all the sky did was darken like twilight was coming for a couple of minutes (I had no glasses and no view of the sun). The pictures on cnn of S. Carolina were nice and i could see how the area was darkening nicely. I wonder if actually being in the path of it was as awe-inspiring as I heard on news reports prior to the event.

I had a funny situation too actually just on Saturday.
We were at a wedding and I had my Chanel 2.55 with me.
Someone looked at it and said nice bag, it's just like a Chanel isn't it.
I agreed and said yes it was.
:biggrin:

LOL- that's so funny. I had a similar thing happen with a vintage Chanel I have. I was wearing it one day when my mom and I went shopping and had a conversation like this:

mom: oh that's so pretty. Is it Coach? (because of the C's)
me: :whut:

If y'all don't know by now I am truly the black sheep of my family.....I'm pretty sure I was changed at birth with someone else as *no one* but me has any interest in designer goods.....

To quote Rachel Zoe " I can't even!" This when hoarding is a good thing, They should have laid in a supply to last 3 years! You have now learned that you will need to keep a 2 year supply of vanilla ice cream in your freezer.

Let us know if we need to Fedex you a supply.
