I hope not to offend anyone with this blog, but I must speak of a horrible atrocity. There are few fashion faux paus bigger than the one I dare speak!. So here it goes. Ladies (and if the shoe fits, gentlemen) I implore you, do not carry knock off handbags. It is a sight that utterly disgusts me!
You may be fooled into thinking no one will ever be able to tell. You are WRONG! I can spot the off color of cheap leather and the horrible cutting and stitching from a mile away. They look cheap and you appear to be a phony wana be while wearing the offending culprit across your shoulder.
Ladies, ladies, ladies, there are very nice bags available at the local chain stores. They are a much better choice than buying a purse at a party or the flea market that has backwards “C’s” on it, or LV’s that look nothing like the true monogram.
When I see you carrying your fake Prada, Spade, Coach, Luis, Doone etc, I want to begin an intervention immediately. I want to carry your tail to the local chain store and show you other options, open your mind. Please!!!!!
The lure of the knock-off is easy to be taken in by to be taken by. They are being hawked at every corner. You will see a bag and think to yourself “This is great, I can get me a $600.00 bag for $12.9.9” Get those thoughts out of you head, and run as fast as you can . Trust me you are hurting no one but yourself (and possibly me and the fashion police)
Only you can help to prevent this unnatural injustice and fashion genocide.
I have mentioned before, I am not judgmental, and it is your right to carry a trashy, cheap handbag. However, I do feel it is my place to help you. I am available 24/7 . If you feel the need to reach into your pocket and pull out hard earned cash for a terribly made knock-off, please contact me immediately, I will talk you down. It may take time and patience, but I am her for you!
One last thought….
As my friend D.A. so eloquently stated “ I have friends north of rt 24 that can sniff these fakes out and they will laugh you all of the way home!”

ReplyDeletethis would definitely be one for the JUST SAY NO
ReplyDeletecategory. Save up and buy the real thing or as you say find something cute and sassy in your price range. My personal favorite for just say no...head to toe knock offs.
I enjoyed your "drogging" post and the one about unsolicited advice as well. thanks for visiting my blog...I never know what I plan to post from one time to the next...everything is fair game!
we bow to the drama queen!
