I heard the hot pink was sold out. Couldn't make up my mind fast enough [emoji22]
Guess I'll have to check the bay.
What kind of extension cords do LV owners use?

Sorry, I may be slow here. I don't get this thread could you please explain to me what is this all about? What's with the extension cord? is it about those chain extensions that can be attached to the bag and they are making fun of it? I feel so dumb. lol
It's a silly thread referring to actual extension cords one uses for Christmas lights, etc.
I think the OP was making light of all the posters who are obsessed with their LV bags being "perfect".
I think it's making fun of the car thread as well. I guess it's highlighting that some LV lovers aren't into cars?
You are not dumb.
It's just a lighthearted and silly thread in which members are poking fun at themselves. It's funny to some and not to others. I really got a kick out of it, especially the first few days.
Are you in the U.S.? My SA said HOT PINK would not be available here until May. I just checked online and it says call for availability. I wonder if I should cancel rose ballerine and get this instead. Please do modeling shots so I can decide. I'm so jealous!
I am so glad this thread was started. Bumping because I need help! I'm sorry if this is long. I have a dear friend (VDF) who I've been trying to help (TTH). She has never bought an extension cord and thinks that she can just walk into a Home Depot (HD) and ask for one! The first EC I was offered after building a good relationship with an SA at HD was a classic 6ft in Ebene with two plugs (CSFEWTP). I really wanted white and 12 ft. (WTF) but I knew I had better not decline or I might never be offered another extension cord for the rest of my life (MNBOAECFTROML). Get this, my friend wants (as her first EC!!!!
) an 8 outlet cord with a surge protector, (SP) in a hard to find color. She can't understand why she can't just get on a waiting list for this. I've tried to explain that she has to build a relationship with the SAs at Home Depot first, maybe even buy $10,000-$20,000 of non-extension cord products, before she'll be offered ANY extension cord. Let alone an exotic cord (LAAEC)! Also she says she is ONLY interested in an EC SP. She refuses to even start with outlets or adaptors (OOA). Which is sometimes a good way to get your feet wet in the electrical department. 
I think she has unreasonable expectations and I lose patience with people who want an extension cord but are not willing to do what it takes to get one. I talk to my SA at HD at least once a week. Sometimes I get busy, you know, living, but because I am beautiful, charming, witty and very, very rich, (BCWVVR) my SA will usually call me once or twice a month (OOTAM). I have also managed to build relationships at other HD stores as well as Lowes and Ace Hardware. My VDF also expects good service even if she is buying nails (N) or plumbing supplies (PS). I know we'd all like to live in an ideal world where everyone gets equal service and follow up whether they buy a 6" drain trap or a box of deck screws, but the bottom line is, the customer who is buying an extension cord will obviously come first. So here are my questions:
1. How many times a month do you call, email and personally visit your SA? Do you talk about all kinds of electrical supplies or only about extension cords?
2. Does the number of extension cords you buy a month affect your relationship? What do you do to keep the relationship warm between extension cord purchases?
3. Have you ever asked your SA to do a global extension cord search? Have you bought items you didn't really want just to get an extension cord or make your SA like you more?
Thanks for your help!

This is a lovely post and you are such a dear person to help your friend get the EC of her dreams.
I personally visit my SA at the HD 2 to 3 times a month to keep those positive vibes flowing.
Just last weekend I purchased a microwave in order to have positive attitude when it comes time for the all important purchase of the special edition Christmas EC cords and lights.
My garage is currently FULL of extraneous hardware items purchased to keep the goodwill of my SA whilst I wait for the Holiday Season.
Hope this helps.
Happy that this thread has been revived. Any intel about the fall and winter colours?
TIA!
TIA!
Oh my! I forgot about the limited edition holiday cords and decorations. They should be coming out soon and the good ones sell out so quickly!!!
