Neeeeeeeenah Garcia Is Really In Touch
Project Runway's Nina Garcia left a lovely "Note from the 1%" for her Twitter followers on Thursday when she told them about a must-have bag that will any cost them 3 paychecks AT MOST. Because Nina said "this IS the bag" and said it would last you a lifetime, you expect the link to lead you to a vintage Lisa Frank bubblegum duffel bag. Right? Right. But instead, Nina Garcia led her followers to a leather bag that is more overpriced than the leather bag slobbering over it:
Maybe it's because I don't carry a purse (shut up), but do you really need to spend three weeks salary on ANY purse? Can't you just grab a Hefty bag, roll it in glue and glitter, throw your shit in there and call it good? A Hefty bag covered in glitter is a lot hotter than most of the tired bags I've seen out there.
Nina's tweet sort of reminds me of this episode of Beverly Hills Teens where that hot bitch Bianca goes shopping at a new mall she's never been before. Bianca pulls up to a mall that is so tall it reaches the clouds and she says, "Oh, how cute, one of those new mini malls!"
And right after GOOPY Paltrow read Nina's tweet, she said out loud, "A FEW weeks salary? As in more than two? I knew there were poor people out there, but I didn't know they were THAT poor. What a world." Because of Nina's tweet, GOOPY is going to donate a few of the Birkins she keeps her recyclables in to the less fortunate. So Nina Garcia's clueless tweet did some good. See!

i get more compliments for the patchwork tote I got from Wal-Mart for $12 than the Tori Birch bag that my old roommate gave me.

The greatest thing about rich people in the vein of Nina Garcia is how truly stupid they are. Anthony Bourdain has an interesting chapter in his book about the "gourmet" food industry. The restaurants that cater to the super rich overcharge ridiculously and make huge profits off these morons who think expensive = great quality. They openly take advantage of these people's tastelessness by serving them slop, charging a fortune, and laughing all the way to the bank.
About 2 months ago I bought the cutest Kate Spade at Marshall's, deeply discounted. I've never gotten more compliments on a purse in my life, and back in the day I had my share of Louis Vuitton and Gucci purses. So it goes to show you you don't need to spend a down payment on a house for a fucking ugly purse. And that is the ugliest Birkin I have ever seen in my life!!!
MK, maybe YOU get by with a fancy Hefty bag bro but the rest of us can't! That boring bag is way more than a few weeks' salary! Better to go for something cute, not expensive, that lasts a long time. Shut up Nina! If only Goopy did that!
And that pink bubblegum duffle bag thing, YES!

MK, surely you meant to say 3 years salary not 3 weeks.
I didn't know there was DNA in my ass!
Typical liberal. Hypocrites to the core. This coming from a dumb ass bitch who once called Michelle Obama stunning......puke.
A few weeks salary? Boy, I must be severely under paid, because that is a tad more than just a few weeks of my salary.
That's vintage. Wonder what it costs new? In my experience, having spent time with some real purse-hoarders, the thrill goes away fairly soon. Then they [Ed.: the purses] collect dust in a closet for a lifetime.
No matter how rich you are, if you're paying that amount of cash for a fucking bag, you're braindead. It's not an investment, it's fucking stupid. Don't even try to argue that shit. My LL Bean backpack from 7th grade is still functional at $40. It didn't fucking disintegrate because it cost less than a Mercedes.
Who needs food and a roof over their head when you can carry a hideous purple bag when you're panhandling for spare change? That shit costs more than my car. This makes me irrationally angry.

What a fucking stupid clueless cunt. I hope one day she experiences extreme poverty to realize what a horrible comment this is. Cunt.
Sure, I won't feel guilty when I don't have food on the table and they come to turn my electricity off, because I'll have that fug ass bag to cry into!
The bag I bought at Aldo for $18 looks better than that thing.
