How We Lose
To understand the game, you have to understand the players. First we have the corporation - these are the money makers. They're the ones who are looking for profit above all else. Next are the designers - these are the ones who create the works of art that we all covet. Then you have the manufacturers - the ones who take the designer's dream and turn it into reality. Next are the boutiques - the places that sell the designer handbags. And finally you have us, the consumers - the ones who put our hard earned money into these beautiful handbags.
To those people who design these beautiful handbags, this is nothing but a game. They have designers who try to come up with trends that will either last for a very long time, or that will suit the next season. They then make the bags and begin to sell them, putting a huge price tag on them. But is the high price really necessary, or is it simply part of the designer handbag game?
You can't work out how to operate the taps with the automatic sensors, so you wash your hands with liquid soap (most of which ends up on your blouse) and dry them under the hot air blower because, of course, there are no paper towels in the dispensers. Have you ever tried drying liquid soap with hot air? Ten minutes later you stumble out and shuffle past the queue of waiting women, still cross-legged and
New York Jet, at this point, you no longer care that your manic grimace is met with disapproving stares.Just when you thought things couldn't possibly get any worse, one kind soul at the very end of the queue points out that you are trailing a piece of toilet paper on your shoe as long as the river Nile! (Where was it when you NEEDED it??) You rip the paper from your shoe, shove it in the woman's hand and tell her cattily, "Here--you might need this."
The Game
How We Can Win
There is, however, a way that we can win the game. Replica designer handbags look and feel exactly like the designer versions that we fall in love with, only they are sold without going through a corporation or a boutique so the price gets lowered dramatically from the very start. This way you can own the type of bag you want without paying the high price. The Monogram Watercolor Speedy 30 is a great example of how a replica Louis Vuitton handbag can look
Air Max 95 Men Shoes, and feel, just like the original version, while still being extremely affordable to purchase and to own.
As you leave the house of horrors, you spot your husband loitering impatiently outside, having long since entered, used and left the men's toilets and read a copy of Gone with the Wind whist waiting for you.
The icing on the cake will be when he asks: "What took you so long, darling, and why is your skirt tucked into the back of your knickers?" Silently you curse the bitch who pointed out the toilet paper stuck to your shoe, but omitted to mention that your bum has been on display to every pervert in the place.Male readers will now know not only why women take so long to powder their noses, but also why we always go to the toilet in pairs. It's so the other woman can hold the door shut and pass you the toilet paper under the door.
This game, however, isn't evenly matched, and from the very beginning we're set to lose. Everyone above us, from the designers to the boutique to the corporation, are looking to make money, plain and simple. They want our money and they know that if they put a high enough price tag on something beautiful, we will spend the money to own it. It doesn't matter if you find a designer handbag on sale or at full price; if you purchase it you've already lost.
Any woman who loves fashion or who loves to look great has seen them: delicious designer handbags that are very easy to covet. We look at these handbags and drool over them, secretly wishing that we had thousands of dollars that we could spend to purchase the type of designer handbag that we have always dreamed of owning. We look at handbags from designers such as Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Christian Dior, Chanel
Air Jordan 5 (V), and many more. We watch celebrities tote them around as if they're worth less than a cheap handbag that can be found in any department store, and dream of owning something as beautiful as those handbags. But what we don't realize is that the designers who create these bags, these masters of craftsmanship, are actually intentionally stealing your money.
