There was a denim jacket for $200,000.
WTF!! Are the threads platinum? And the buttons diamond?
Hands! Hands in new places!

It is mink-lined. I shit you not.
These mink must be gold-plated.

Not leaking heat will be good. I haven't thought to ask, Sue, but I remember when you bought it you were worried about being further out of the city. How are you liking the area now?

But! But? I can understand how couture can be expensive, taking into account labour-hours and cost of materials and such, but how many hours can have gone into a fricking denim jacket? Dear Jesus.

Oh my GOD.
Thanks to Facebook, I have discovered that my ten year HS class reunion is the same weekend as Thanksgiving. When I will be in town.
And while there are a couple of people I might like to see, uh...
"Hi, everyone! I've gained weight since high school AND I am completely unsuccessful! How YOU doin'?"

Maybe it was made by multinational CEOs and professional sports players. Those labor charges would add up quick.

Mink lined - the mink were specially bred, fed a diet of champagne and caviar, hand-groomed every day, the fur taken when each had reached the peak of its beauty. Denim from specially cultivated cotton, hand-picked, thread spun and then woven by hand by temple virgins.
Or just an obscene mark-up for a designer label.

"Hi, everyone! I've gained weight since high school AND I am completely unsuccessful! How YOU doin'?"
I'd phrase it more like "Hi, everyone! I haven't had kids and get to lie in on weekends, thinking of ways to spend all the money I don't have to spend on diapers! You?"
No?

Seriously. Couture is one thing, but that level of decadence makes my skin crawl. 75,000+ homeless in LA, many living mere miles away from a $200,000 denim jacket. Feh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
