Label Junkie??
 

Why did I see a woman who was Louie'd (Louis Vuitton for the slow folks) out?? She had on a Louie scarf, purse, her jeans had the design on the back pockets and her shoes had Louie on them. WHY??

Now granted I have a thing for Baby Phat jeans but that's an extreme.

Isn't that just with a lot of bootleg stuff? Because I know Gucci doesn't make special edition Timberlands.

Yikes! I wonder how much of her ensemble was fake. I've never heard of LV jeans.

I love Louis as much as the next girl, but that's taking it way too far. ONE ITEM is enough at a time -- maybe two on occasion, but just yikes.

Times like that I wish I had a camera phone. But this bootleggin' has gotten out of control.

It has, but when you see celebrities with it, it's bound to spread to the masses. For instance, I've seen Shaq wear fake Burberry plaid. :eek:

*raises hand* what is Von Dutch?

You don't see a lot of Von Dutch around here, but those trucker hats HAVE GOT TO GO!

There was a girl who rode the bus every morning (highschool, haven't seen her since summer vacation) and she would wear her stupid Von Dutch trucker hat every day. I think they are so ugly I wanted to rip it off her head and throw it out the window.

I remember a few years ago, when I was living in the DC area, I was waitressing and the table had a bunch of rude azzed folx. One girl had a "Versace" dress. I knew I was getting screwed on the tip so I stepped to her and was like....
"hmmmm, that is news to me....I didn't know K-Mart made Versace!" :p

I was good and ready for a street fight! :p

HAHAHA. I know EXACTLY what you mean.

Jill, where'd you waitress?

For TheEpitome1920: Von Dork, I mean Dutch

In addition to my Govt job, I worked as a server at Bennigan's! :)

I read an article somewhere talking about the proliferation of bootlegging and how it's cheapened the owning of even the real thing. There was also a side bar telling how to tell the real deal from the fakes. I personally would feel really tacky carrying a bag/wearing an item that was a knock-off. Louis Vuitton bags aren't really cute, but it's the name that makes them sellable. If you buy a fake you're copping out.

Then again, I'm not much of a label shopper. I don't care if it's a $3000 Versace dress; if it doesn't look good on me, I wouldn't buy it. Not to mention I don't have three grand to be throwing aroudn these days. :(

This is why I'm looking into buying a Patek and not a Rolex. Poor people constantly make my life difficult :(

I think the people who can REALLY afford to wear LV and the such have the pieces that don't have the logos on them...
