Fake D&G?
I remember Usha telling me a story about her Dolce & Gabanna glasses. Someone actually asked her if they were fake!!! Who on earth would ask such a question and who on earth would be game enough to by fake glasses. I would have hit the person so hard if they asked me if MY glasses were fake. Thank God no one has ever asked me... I've only recieve, "Wow I love you frames!" haha... but sometimes I like to joke with people when they ask me, "Is it CK?" I say, "No, it's DK...the NY is on the other side..." (with a giggle inside my heart thinking 'you fool') ...and people actually look closer!!! hoho~Well I met a person today that bought fake glasses! He's my collegue... and he was asking me a question. and as I was looking at him, I said, "Oh I like your glasses..." and you know what he replied me, "Thanks! They're fake..." Wah lau... so proud your glasses are fake ar? If you didn't tell me I wouldn't have known and I would have assumed you paid $200 odd for your frames!
I guess in this day and age, you can buy fake anything, but I'd never buy fake glasses or fake shoes! That's just wierd...I've bought a fake Dior bag before but I won't be buying a fake anything ever again. It feels retarded holding or wearing something fake. I like wierd unknown brands anyway. I think that LV, Gucci, Prada and the like are just becoming too streamline these days that you can walk down the street and expect to see someone with the same item as you - which is probably a fake! And even if you do carry the real deal and pay thousands upon thousands for it, people still might think it's a fake - then your buy would have all been in vain right? I mean the purpose of buying the real deal bag (for example) is to show others that, "hey I'm not a cheapo - I can afford this bag which cost me $2000 (boast a little with a wiggle of the nose and bum) and a little status of the higher class." Isn't that the purpose of buying an LV bag? Otherwise why would people even spend up to AU$100 on an A Grade FAKE LV bag... when they can buy a perfectly authentic bag of another brand which is not labelled as "fake"?
I mean look at Loius Vuitton's new "Chinatown Collection" by Marc Jacobs. As much as I loveeee Marc Jacobs and his designs and his new perfume to bits... I have to question, was he high when he designed this collection? WHO ON EARTH will pay upwards of $1000 for one of these Chinatown bags when you can get them for the $2 shop... for $1 some more! It really perplexes me... and I'd be keen to interview the first person that would actually buy a real one of these.
Even the China man models it better and plus he is just as skinny as the model from Milan!
I always try to differentiate myself from mainstream - I mean of course there are things which I like that are mainstream, but most of the time I try to be different. I actually prefer a lot of the Australian labels like Industrie, Wish, Mimco, All About Eve and little unknown brands from boutique stores. I love vintage and generally go for quality over quantity. I usually go into a store and see something I really like, then I check the price tag and it costs a bomb... so then I have to put it bag down again. =( I once seriously contemplated buying a $500 Mimco bag...thank God I came to my senses. Later on in the month, I saw numerous ladies with the bag... *heart stab* the bag is still so nice... and still so pretty and I wish I had one...nevertheless... I won't die without one, I'll just feel a heart stab everytime I see some chick with one. =)
