There is something I truly cannot understand here! I've been scanning Facebook pictures and there is something really bothering me.
Okay so, basically I'm staring at pictures of people all glammed up. Make up on, heels, etc. (Yes, I do not know how on earth people have the patience to put make up on every single time they go out AND walk in heels. But that's not my point. -,-") And my eyes, naturally, fall straight on their bags. Their gorgeous, exquisite, branded bags that must have cost a fortune. No, I'm not talking Coach, Guess, Juicy Couture etc. I am talking Louis Vuitton. Gucci, Dior, Burberry. (Though unfortunately not Marc Jacobs or Jimmy Choo. Their bags cost almost as much as a Proton.) And these bags aren't those normal-sized bags either. They are those hideously over sized bags that cost a little more than the average bag. They are the kind of bags that people use to flaunt their stuff.
But up to this point, there is no problem right? They are merely rich bitches kids that love labels as much as I hate being broke. But hey ho, what do we have here? They are not the filthy rich kind. They live in one of those houses that look like it was cheaply furnished by their grandparents and left to rot. You know, the kind where the idea of a sofa is putting a worn out cushion on a rattan chair. And not changing it for 20 years. I personally don't have anything against these houses. They're great and I've a lot of memories in a good many of them. Sweet memories, I assure you. But they're not the kind of house that has a pile of branded bags just lying around. Its just not right. I don't get it. Why would someone splurge on labels so much, and not save up and perhaps buy a damned couch? Its like a fucking lie, the show you put on. Parading around in designer wear rather than buy more important things, like maybe a new mattress so the bed bugs really won't bite?!
I mean, its not like these bags are oh-so fabulous. They're so huge all you can see is the logo repeating themselves. What is the point? Wouldn't one rather live comfortably than by the label on your arm? This is crazy. But then again, society is. This infatuation with labels is crazy. Its no longer coveted to be seen with a little Fendi on your arm. I mean in Malaysia people are so obsessed with these labels that they can't even recognise anything in the price range above them like a Hermes scarf or Miu Miu shoes. I can't. This is so.. sad.
Oh and by the way, if someone steps out of a Kancil with a Versace bag, everyone would think it a fake anyway. It just isn't rational.
