Whats the reacton like when you guys show and tell your bags

[KraZy007]

Haha too funny.

I actually am worse than my girlfriend. I go into Louis wanting to buy everything for my mom,sis, and girlfriend and it's my girlfriend that has to stop me. But then again, she has a natural nack for picking out the limited, most expensive bags on earth. Sheesh. At least I *try* to keep it around 1k.

I need to work where you work then. Over here at my work place Hermes is unheard of. Most people don't even know what it is (except for my SVP who decided not to give me a raise after seeing me carry the ostrich Kelly) and carrying an LV is typically done by ladies of the VP level. I wish I can carry my Hermes without reservations.

You don't want to work in my place, we are serious hypocrites.

I think I've written somewhere before that in our place, there is a v.strong inclination not to hire a person if she turns up with a Birkin (looking too much like clients) but then after you are hired everyone goes and get one anyway!

If it's not too rude to say, what your SVP did is out-of-order, do we judge people's performance by what they carry (after they are hired, of course) ?

KraZy007, I wish my fiancé is like you! LOL! Can I ask, as you are a gentleman , what's the best way to justify a purchase to a man?

Simplify it. Is there anything that he's into? Cars? Golf clubs? Electronics? Usually, when guys get into something, there's a tangible aspect of his hobby that makes him spend absorbant amounts of money. For example, with cars, it's usually performance, making it faster, handle better, look better, etc. With golf clubs, there's the exotic materials, lighter clubs, better balance, etc. With electronics, like computers, there's making it faster, or with TV's there's the better color, picture quality, etc.

Buying a fine bag is a lot like that. We look for the style, the craftsmanship (made in italy will last a whole lot longer than made in china), and the materials. If it's exotic leather, then it's gonna cost more.

Honestly, I see a lot of parallels between a guy's typical hobby and buying bags. But most importantly, make him understand that the bag will make you extra happy. Because if you're happy, then he's happy, right?

This reminds me sort of that book I read Bitter is the New Black where the lady went to the unemployment office carrying Prada. Needless to say the workers in there were pretty rude and she constantly had problems with her unemployment benefits. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. When I start my job in August I won't be carrying my Hermes either.


By the way, how do you know its because you were carrying the bag? The reason I ask is that this sounds illegal...especially if you have proof that this was the reason.

mom- oh i like it it is beautiful but why do you need so many bags i get along with 3 or 4 since years (but she truly means everything she says she is a truly lovely person and also my friend not only my mom )
dad: whatever floats your boat
gay-freinds: they all went wild on everything i have and love to call me the person who puts madonna to shame
female(or male firends): they love it or comment on it or say nothing at all cause they do not care
excoworkers:i only carried one bag to work as i never wanted to put me in a position i won´t feel comfortable in
exhusband:it is bedtime darling

Mom: Very agreeable with all my purchases...she is much, much worse herself so it doesn't matter much.

Dad: Thinks that all women's purchases are ridiculous and has given up trying to justify anything. He drives a very old minivan that costs about 1k now so he compare purchases to it...for example, "your new wallet just cost two of my cars!"

BF: Usually just shudders in fear and is quiet and thanks the gods that I have my own job...lol.

Boss: I start my new job in about a week but my "big" boss is a very scary domineering woman who wears scarily frilled Herrara suits and lots of croc bags anyway so I don't think I will even appear on her radar.
