Definitely the diamonds.

I pick, E. Use it for a down payment on a new car.

i would have to decide between the handbag and earrings. any of the other choices and people would get tired of seeing me at walmart in the fur coat, or at the movies in the evening gown, or watering the lawn in that chanel suit...especially the evening gown. everywhere would be a red carpet event for me!! lol

I'd go for the Birkin.

I have some diamond studs (though they are no where near 10K!) and I rarely wear them. My hair is always down and you never see my ears.

And funny enough, most of my purses are from Target, but I'd love the Birkin. I can't bring myself to spend 300 on a "nice bag", but I'd take the Birkin in a heartbeat - assuming I had the money!

And to you ladies who would sell the item and invest the money: No practicality allowed here! :p

She started it!! LOL

If I can't be political or moral, I'll take the Birkin please! ;)

diamonds are nice but Chanel is a forever icon my friends. Also, without going into too much political detail I despise the diamond industry and their marketing.

Although I covet Badgley Mischka. Their gown are gorgeous.

I'd go with the Chanel suit. A true classic.

Actually made too quick of a read of choices yesterday.
Do recognize A,B,E. Do I have 1 or more, no. The other 2, I don't know labels, top designers. If I need something classy, I shop with my mom, I hold stuff up, and she either rolls her eyes, laughs or hands me something to try on.

She says the diamonds, I mentioned the diamond cartel, and she has friends in PETA, and I was told no daughter of hers will be allowed out in a mink coat.

The Birkin.

TrueBlueKappa 08-01-2007 05:56 PM

Definitely the Birkin.

Definitely!

However, $10K for a serious spa vacation sounds like heaven on earth to me.

If I had to choose from the provided list: A.

If I had the cold hard cash: I'm doing the practical thing. Pay down the mortgage, invest the $, use it as a down payment on a new car...

Oh, wait, this is an escapist thread. Ok then: Some pretty jewelry, and a shopping spree at Chico's :D

My diamonds would be the Canadian-conflict free kind. (yes, I know...how convenient....LOL) As for the mink coat, even if it was faux-mink, where I live, the winters are not that cold as to need to wear fur, plus I've always thought that fur coats look a bit pimp'y/prostitute'y in a way.

You said frivolty (sp?)
 
$10,000 is not enough for me to buy a quality Argyle Pink in a princess cut Flawless with encryption codes--in Platinum/Palladium Rose gold setting...

Rather than a spa vacation, I would get plastic surgery with lipo and laser... An a day in honeymoon sweet in the Bellagio/Venetian.

or

$10,000--I get a 72" flatscreen HDTV... or maybe an iPhone with a good service contract.

or

Fan club seats at the ESPN Box seats at either the BCS or the Superbowl...
