^^ thanks dear! waiting for your rainbow
Yup just like me waiting for a croc... looks like it's gonna be a long wait unless I buy one for myself.
GOOD MORNING LADIES & GENTS!!!!
CBTG818...thanks I'm glad someone else knows how difficult FMS can be, and the amount of suffering we go through 10 BIRKINS WOULDN'T MAKE UP FOR IT!!!!!!!!..even if you threw in one that had the diamond padlock...lol.
I have a friend that works in the movie business, he just told me that the stylist and the wardore people are using a lot of HERMÈS on the set....and when it wraps he said he would grab me some goodies..I'M SUPER EXCITED!!!!

I just said a present fr dearest hubby..
next question people ask, "does your hubby have (single) brothers just as generous?"
catty remarks...just ignore and be gracious, even though we might not be on the receiving end of similar graciousness. Some comments are just made out of ignorance, and not deliberately snide. Carrying and showing off an expensive bag is easy, doing so with grace and some panache is much harder.
Gosh. I feel very fortunate that nobody has ever commented on my H, other than to say they like it! Friends and colleagues have admired my BBK, but strangely enough the piece which attracts most comments from SAs, waitresses, friends of friends etc, is my plain black CDC cuff PHW.
When I first started buying H, the only opinions I worried about were those of my mum and sister, so I bought H pieces for them both, just scarves so far but I'd buy them other pieces (within reason!) if they wanted them.

I haven't had any bad remarks about my H but I only got my first bag a few weeks ago- however I already know if I met a certain friend for lunch say she would go on and on and shake her head etc... I have learnt now to just take a 'normal' bag when I meet her. I know I shouldn't have to buy I feel like it just saves the hassle! Lol
Reading this thread makes me think of one of my friends. All my friends know that i love branded purse and how much i love to own a birkin or kelly. So, one day we were discussing about purses, and this is what she said,"i can't understand why people could spend so much money on purses, maybe they don't know how hard it is to earn money, and i think it is stupid."
I could still remember her exact words which left me stunned. I was so suprised that it took me a minute to digest her words.

I think if I were single I would have a lot more to spend on myself! lol

This thread is facinating. It's not the first time a thread with this type of topic has come up. I find it so sad that people need to be so judgmental about how others spend their money.
My SIL once confided in me that she heard "women in her area spend 5000 on purses, how disgusting!!!!" Mind you, she made this statement as we were sitting at her gorgeous pool in her new home, in a swanky area of town. I responded by saying people have the right to choose how they spend their xtra money without being judged. Sure, a paper sack would do the same job, just as a smaller home would offer her shelter.
I was always taught to be happy for friends and their successes and that's how I teach my daughter to live. Karma.

So sorry to hear.. 
Like I said earlier, I have not had any negative remarks (yet) and should I get any I can only hope that i will handle the situation gracefully.
I work full-time and study part-time, and if I want to endulge in a "little" luxury I will do so. Hopefully I am carrying myself in a non-offencive way, making people want to say nice things about my appearance and my personality rather than nasty things.
