St. Angie Lands A $10 Million Contract With Louis Vuitton
Celebrations for the anniversary of the resurrection of our savior have been put on hold, because priests all over the land will instead devote their Sunday mass sermons to praising Louis Vuitton for spreading the word of the good lord by hiring St. Angelina Jolie as their new face. (Oh here go hell come for me.) E! News says that the worldwide campaign will be shot by Annie Leibovitz in a couple of weeks and will debut this summer in stained glass form in a cathedral near you!
Spokeswhores for Angie and Louis Vuitton zipped their shit about this, but a source claims that LV will put around $10 million in her collection basket. This is apparently the most she's ever made for any kind of campaign. Past faces of Louis Vuitton have included Madge, ScarJo, JLo and Gis Bundchen.
My initial reaction to this was just like the one the wide-faced Cate Blanchett is making in the picture above. Hand on hip, ciggie in hand and an "OH, BROTHER!" expression splashed across my face. Angie is already everywhere EVERYWHERE everywhere and now she's really going to be everywhere EVERYWHERE everywhere. Personally, I'd rather see Maddox in the "U MAD, Aniston?!" campaign for Louis Vuitton's exclusive line of Cabbage Patch clothes and Beanie Baby bjorns.

Bottom line is that it's shallow. This is a woman who claims her heart breaks for the poor, homeless, and less fortunate and YET she continues to live a life filled with brand names, mansions, private planes, etc etc. She is a brand in herself !!! $10 mil to represent? Are you kidding me?!
Sure, quality counts. However, dont let it become your life (labels!). Some people dont care about the labels b/c they like a simpler life not b/c they cant afford it. NOT everyone lives a materialistic lifestyle.

Lv is classic, period. For those of you who don't give an eff what you wear or carry, good for you. I suppose you all proudly sport the cheapest wardrobe with pride? Doubt it. Don't hate on us who can and do have nicer things.
There is absolutely nothing elitist or snobby about this comment. *snort* You sound like labels are the only thing that matter to you...i.e. FASHION VICTIM. Even if it's butt ugly, if it has a designer tag, I bet you'll wear it.

I personally love this particular LV print and I have heard their purses hold up great, but I will never be able to afford one. I do have a knockoff, but the straps broke off the bag. Got them fixed, but the straps themselves are about to snap in half now.

You're kidding, right? I don't think I could spend $2k on a bag because I still think in terms of tuition. Besides, pop into Barney's Co-op, for example, and you can find plenty of expensive bags, if that's your thing, by many established and up-and-coming designers.
LV is not the only designer label in town. I happen to find those quilted Chanel bags tiresome but love the Kelly bag. Does that mean my taste is better? No, just different.
It's not that people here don't care what they wear; it's just that we know how to dress without spending thousands of dollars. If you're as chic as you claim to be (your whole "us" thing), then you know that thrift shops, from the Salvation Army to Tokyo Joe's have cheap items that one can flaunt. Style has nothing to do with money. The dollars allow you to purchase big-ticket items, but they don't make you chicer.
And who exactly are your "us"? You're on the wrong site; I think you were misdirected from GOOP.
LV is not in my budget. I will admit that freely and straight up. I will also say that if I had that sort of budget, I would never buy LV simply for the fact that I find their bags hideously ugly. I love expensive and high quality goods but I could care less about the label. I despise having the name of the designer splashed all over the bag or anything else that I carry. Shirts that have the designer's name written somewhere, very noticeable, on the front, etc...that kind of stuff is a huge turn-off to me. I think LV's stuff would be more attractive looking if it didn't have that ugly LV all over it and if it wasn't all shit-brown in color. JMO.

That's why I referenced their signature line, the recognizable brown logo bags that they are mostly known for among the masses. The one you linked looks fine to me but the last time I was in an LV store it was ALL the brown stuff that everybody has. And I have plenty of hate to share. I think a lot of popular designer shit these days is awful (Coach's metallic line and their godawful patchwork mess purses, I'm looking at you).
Oh yea and burberry too. Yeesh.
Yes I get that obviously people like this stuff and that's fine. All I'm saying is that expensive does not automatically mean everyone is going to think it looks awesome.

I carry a Mulberry, which is more expensive than any LV I've seen - and is far more versatile and classic, and doesn't have a bunch of fugly shit written all over it. Untwist your labia and sit the fuck down, nobody is attacking you personally.
Ooops Sofia Coppola! I will admit that all of these "top" designers are charging way too much for these items.
My thesis is complete!
This LV pattern is the most recognizable, but the bags come in other patterns and colors. I bought an Epi leather drawstring in black, and it is hard to tell that it's an LV. I really like the LV bag that Sophia Coppola designed, but not for $3,700/$4,300. Sayo is sooo over spending a fortune on handbags and shoes.

I see your point. On another point, I am getting a little tired of people saying the older you get the -less- insecure you are. I am reaching my late 20s now and feel more insecure about every aspect of myself than I did when I was 18 and didn't give a fuck so much at all.
***********************************
LOL! you're hardly "older" yet! But nice try;p
But yeah - I think confidence is something you gain if you seek to gain it. The thing about getting older is really just having time to wear a groove. If you wear down a groove of insecurity then you end up with deep insecurity...if you spend your life looking for confidence - that's what you find.
And men worry plenty. They're just not as conscious of their own worrying - way more reactive. Women may act insane but at least they can tell you why. Men just try to tell you "it's over. forget about it." There's strength in both those approaches - one can help you figure out how to not let it happen again...and the other lets you move past it so you don't have to carry it as baggage for the rest of your life. It's all about balance, yes?
If you're gonna hate anything hate being human. Men aren't any better off than we are, that's fersure, but animals certainly never have to sit around worrying if they're too fat or ugly for life;p

Excuse my beauty, but who said anything about hating on nice things? Money and nice things are not mutually exclusive. LV is just ugly, sorry. I've seen better looking bags at Target. It was tacky 10 years ago when everybody had one and it's still tacky now. Personally for the money I'm a Kate Spade girl, simple, clean lines and professional looking and you can't see her "lookatmeimsokewwwwlll" logos everywhere. That signature bag above is just a trendy mess and I would never.

James Haven begged Angie not to do it! Angie just laughed a brutal "ha ha ha" in James Haven's face when he told her that conforming is not what we Voight's do! Angie told James Haven she needed extra cash because feeding all those crazy kids costs money and let's face it, her movie career is in the crapper. James Haven had to agree. Do you bitches see "The Tourist"? If James Haven hadn't bought the jumbo bucket of extra buttery popcorn he would have hauled ass the first time he heard Angie's preposterous accent!

Her making a ton of money off lv has nothing to do with her philanthropic work. She obviously must make money in order to donate on such a large scale. I am no brangeloonie by any me and, but can't knock her for this. Sounds like easy money to me. Lv makes money off the well to do, not the impoverished. I happen to love lv, it's classic and holds up forever. My guess is those who hate the brand so much likely can't afford it. Just sayin'
**************
I don't have a problem with her making money. As you said, she donates much of it, so why not?
As to hating the brand so much because you can't afford it -- well, I could spend money on an LV bag, but I just wouldn't do it because I think LV is butt fucking ugly.
But even if I thought it was the most beautiful bag I ever saw, I personally can't justify spending that type of money on a purse/bag. And I do think there area many people who only want to purchase these types of items so they can appear more successful than they are.

I am reaching my late 20s now and feel more insecure about every aspect of myself than I did when I was 18 and didn't give a fuck so much at all. Teenagers being the most insecure population? Can't be. Then I see my mother worrying over her gray hair and having her entire day ruined because she'll go up to someone at a cash register who is rude to her and won't even look her in the eye and she takes it so personally that she feels she is some kind of beast despite what we tell her... that people are self-involved and don't even realize what they do affects you on such a level. She was never even a sensitive person 20 years ago.
My dad seems less bothered. I guess (and get jealous being a woman) that men can brush off things so easily and don't seem to worry as much about what other people think. They DO worry but just not as much. I don't even know if I have a point to make here... just venting :)
EDIT: oh I think now my point is that I hate how women are so judged in this society for everything. ESPECIALLY aging! We all get older and men get more respect with age but women get disregarded and it drives them crazy to the point of starvation and excess plastic surgery. It is depressing. I already see lines forming on my face. I wonder how I will look at 40. I wonder what I will feel worth. I wonder if the man I am with will be happy with me or will he be wanting someone who looks 20 years younger. I wonder if people will take me as seriously. Really, I hate being a woman.
There is one that I really like for $3,700, but I refuse to pay that much for a handbag. I have a few designer bags, but my days of spending $$$ like that are over now.

I think a lot of people who need to display the name brand of their nice things are insecure too. All of them? Um..yeah, pretty much, actually.
Something can be nice without the nice maker's name scrawled all over it like I'm not going to know if it's nice if I don't see that. Just sayin'

Isn't everyone insecure to some degree? I am suspicious of people who aren't. They must have some mental illness to literally never give a single fuck what anyone thinks of them EVER at any time. And if your biggest insecurity is your name brand or generic clothes, you live a pretty good life.
************************************
Yes and no. I mean yes - we're all insecure. But I just feel like that kind of display is the same as wearing your insecurity on your sleeve.
It's totally not going to be the biggest insecurity that person has if it's so out there for everyone to see. But even then, I can't even talk about this that much cuz it'll turn into a thesis as soon as we try to root out all the different kinds of people who would wear it and why. For instance, when the Situation wears Ed Hardy - that's pride. When Vinnie wears it - it's insecurity;p If that makes any sense lol!
Basically, I made a sweeping generalization but I was really just joining in the partay!

If you were addressing me, I'm not bitter, it was an observation that all the fame hos that took a shot of the Brand Name Kool-Aid all seem to carry bags and luggage with that print. That kind of thing is a turn off for me. If you like it...cool. Not everybody is going to like the same things as you. Deal with it.
As far as carrying an lv bag because you're showing off, puleeze! That idea can be applied to ANY nice thing one might have. Cars, houses, clothing, tattoos, schools, etc... No need to be bitter about it.
That fugly print is everywhere. Seems like it's for insecure assholes who want to scream "Look at me. I'm rich, beeyotch" *honk*honk*. Just look at Chestica, Blohan, Wonky and Kim Kartrashian. They all have it.

I've heard that LV bags hold up very well over the years
------------------------
They do. I have a few pieces handed down to me that are still in excellent shape. I heart them, but I don't see myself buying a brand new one anytime in the future. I'd rather buy 20 cute, trendy bags from a cheaper place than one crazy expensive bag. The resale place up the road from me has nice leather bags for dirt cheap all the time!
All I see is Jon Voight with big lips and long hair.
She's a regular Mother Theresa, accepting such low pay for such a worthy cause. Also, she's apparently going for the Mother Theresa physique, because girlfriend is a bag of bones. Her hands and her head look too big for her body.
Surely she will donate all 10 million to her worthy causes.
i love accessories - the big gurl's friend - but wouldn't ever carry one of those ugly LV's, or any bag modeled on that kind of logo-ish print. Target, TJMaxx and thrift/vintage are the best purse sources.

The Birkin. I love it too but would never pay thousands for it. Recently saw a camel one at Stein Mart. I didn't want to fork over $80 for a fake but it was so cute and I do love the style of the Birkin so I got it. Besides I don't think anyone where I live even cares what a Birkin is so I don't have to feel no shame for it being a fake.
I'm surprised they didn't do this sooner when she was hot. Kunty Karl and AngieHo seem like a boney match in hell.
What size are those jeans, like a 4T? Not all mom's can pull off sharing clothing with your toddler like that.
As a pretty average white dude (and when I say pretty, I mean kinda ugly) I don't see the fascination with her "good looks" She got no meat on her bones. My 13 year old daughter has more curves than her; and by that I mean AJo looks like a little kid, body wise. And her face really isn't much better than average. Bottom line is that I am a middle class joe, and my wife looks better than her. No wonder Brad Pitt won't marry her. Deeeehh!
I'm just surprised that bag hasn't tipped that skinny bitch over.
Wishful thinking on my part but maybe no cameras in the courtroom because she's going to be remanded?
