The Trollsens Have Really Outdone Themselves This Time
Last year, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion line The Row put out a backpack that looked like a giant, pregnant roach and it cost $39,000. It sold out, because sometimes extremely rich bitches get bored with burning their money in copper fire pits, so they spend it on caca instead. Then this past summer, the Trollsens made an anti-PETA fur purse that sold for almost $17,000. A bargain! But now they're taking overpriced foolery all the way by selling this crocodile backpack covered in fake prescription pills. They want $55,000 for a backpack that looks like Neely O'Hara barfed all over it. If you want to spend $55,000 on Leatherhead's dead mom, then please spend an extra few dollars to fly to Los Angeles so I can slap the shit out of you. You can choose the airport I'll meet you at (Note: Please choose Burbank or Long Beach, because I don't want to deal with LAX traffic. Thank you.)
The Daily Mail says that artist Damien Hirst, the one who killed Jaws, collaborated with the Trollsens to make a bag that costs as much as a car. I like how they use the word "collaborated." Please, you know they were all sitting around a coffee table, doing lines and getting drunk when Mary-Kate dropped a bottle of Vicodin on a bag and they're all like, "FASHION! ART!"
Only twelve will be sold (because there's only twelve dumbasses in the world who will spend their money on this) and proceeds will go to UNICEF.
In all seriousness, if you really want this, let's just go to Wilson's Leather together, buy the cheapest backpack there and then Super Glue some pills on it. It'll probably look better than this shit. But why would you want pills on your backpack anyway? Do you know how many Lohans will be chasing after you, trying to nom nom nom on your bag? Do you really want to turn around and find Dina Lohan chewing on your pocketbook? That'll ruin your day.

Do the world a favor and shut up and bleed.
For $55,000 their sister Elizabeth (the real talent in the family) better come with it.
i can't believe the amount of pain and resources that went into this atrocity.
there's much better ways of donating to charity but as usual, this is about publicity and not about altruism.
p.s. when will the world get over the one trick pony that is damien hirst?
A real bonfire of the vanities... This is all about Hirst needlessly reminding us of how ludicrously overpaid he is, the Trollsens reminding us that they fart money, and some sap reminding us that for every toilet there's an ass. "Designed" regarding that bag should be used the same way that Lohan and her mom use the word "sober."

My sis works in an industry where everyone is a millionaire. e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e of their friends.
The first thing I noticed when she started having them over is they don't dress it at all. It's all very understated jeans and tees. You would never guess these people have money, ever. That's how people who live healthy well rounded lives act.
______________________________________________
I couldn't agree more. A couple of years ago, I was part of a city committee that consisted of wealthy people from Chicago. You would never know of their wealth because they dressed in casual clothing and made it a point not to discuss money at all.
===========
You could also be describing people from other classes. It's nice to think that some wealthy people retain some kind of Yankee simplicity to their way of living, like wearing tattered Keds with their hand-me-down Lily Pulitzers, but that is not the case. Folks are folks, and some of those people have on designer white tees or better yet, Hanes tees with gobs of money in the bank. What am I saying here... Conspicuous consumption is appealing to everyone, just as it can also make anyone wretch from envy or disgust (or both).
I knew some rich girls in college who tried to pull that MY MONEY IS TIED UP IN MY TRUST/I'M CASH POOR bullshit. No way, dude, pay for your own drinks!
Migraineuse,
You keep being you. I don't always agree with you, but I always appreciate how you march to your own drum. Smart, direct women are welcome (and sexy).
@Deb
I used to think that 'studio with minions' thing was a thing of the Renaissance. Maybe I was naive, I dunno, I think for modern art, it's a bit wanky.
Anyways - this bag looks like some shit from Regretsy.
that shit bag needs:
coke grinder
roach clips
nipple rings

Damn Deb didn't know that-makes it even more funny as i remember there was a story about fake Kinkade pics being produced and warning people not to buy em. maybe they are all at it lol.

What an ugly piece of shit. Can't say that much thought went into this. They just emptied out their bag and stuck the inside on the outside. I can't see UNICEF endorsing this crap.
I've always wondered why Mary Kate insisted on Immunity with the Heath Ledger situation, what is that bitch hiding? Anyone who buys this piece of trash has too much money, it's not even a tax rightoff. Is Mary Kate still fucking that French senior citizen?
I'm at a loss why someone would pay that much for a bag by the OLSEN TWINS. I mean even if you're an utter snob who only cares about having expensive things...this is from a line by the damn OLSEN TWINS!!! I just can't see that as prestigious, no matter how much it costs. "See my bag? It's from the line by those girls who were on 'Full House'. Aren't I faboo?" I mean, really.
Also I will never carry a crocodile bag because I saw a crocodile being skinned on TV once and it was disgusting and horrible and stuck in my head. Fuck skinning animals for these ugly bags, that isn't right. Not that the twins would care because we all know they love leather, fur, etc.
Is that a Benedryl on there? A BENEDRYL? "Yeah, I'm so edgy and dark and shit, all the others be doing their bath salts and smokin' their crack, I got my back up Benedyl with me, Baby. Welcome to the goddamned way we roll!" Oh, god, I'm gonna wet my pants, what a couple of idiots -

This kind of crap here is for people who only base their value on what they have, and add to that fact that it's really ridiculously ugly and it speaks volumes about the woman who buys this. I might sound anti-elitist, and naive, but I kinda feel sorry for her.
Even if I had a kajillion dollars I would never buy anything so ugly.

The French sculptor Rodin had his assistants crank out pieces after he had made the casts. He got a lot of criticism for it.
I don't consider him an artist, but Thomas Kinkade had slave-labor painters crank out his schlockey shit.

I know-rather than buying this for that amount of money why not JUST GIVE the money to Unicef-that way you can help people without unnecessarily inflating some douchebag "artist's" ego.
also has the insulting irony gone over peoples heads-this bag with has perscription drugs stuck on it when many people in the countries Unicef helps CANT GET ACCESS TO LIFE SAVING DRUGS because of corrupt pharmaceutical companies?! seriously sometimes this shit is so warped its not even funny.

indeed-in fact i was shocked to hear about that-"artists" actually getting interns/other people to make their work(apparently hirst is not alone in this). just makes you think "whats the point"-how can you even call yourselves artists if you cant be bothered to make your crappy work yourself?
I kinda like the idea of the Trollsens making fun of bored dimwits (who buy this) with their art! lmao But if they're donating the proceeds to UNICEF, sell at least 20+, where's your heart? And oh yeah, HIDEOUS.

Okay, seriously. If you are going to charge that much for wearable "art", than at least cover the entire thing in pills. That bag is dumb, ugly, and looks cheap as hell. Excuse me while I go vomit something that looks better than that bag.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I agree 100%, it DOES look cheap!
This bag is making me angry in several ways. Not just because it's a disgustingly expensive pile of shit.
A few years ago, I did a jumble sale in east London and the guy next to me was selling a bunch of those same fake pills by Damien Hirst.
He explained to me that Hirst had a bunch of minions to do all the work for him, and that he had been one of them at some point. Probably unpaid interns as well, but I didn't ask.
I know Hirst probably worked at some point - or networked, rather- to get where he is, but I find that whole upper class thing of building you success on using slaves like that makes my blood boil. It's one of the reasons I left London.
ugh. that is all.
HIDEOUS!

I agree with Migraineuse, this bag is a fucking waste. It has no purpose, no beauty, and the only reason it exists is as a "fuck you" to poor people, PETA and fashion. A better contribution would have been to leave alone the poor crocs who died for this piece of garbage and just donate their money instead.
Just got the cutest purse from "Savers" thrift store - 3 whole dollars!! What in the world is this purse all about??!! I can just picture the pills falling off one by one and some kid or dogs trying to eat them.

With regards to the cliques, I also think they exist. I don't really care though, if they enjoy them then great. I've been registered on this site for 5.5+ years and I'm not one of the clique members so I don't think it has to do with whether you're established or new. I scroll Dlisted on a regular basis, click on things I want to comment on, read other comments, sometimes check back to see where the conversation went, etc.--it's a regular but casual thing.
I'm not personally into making BFFs on Dlisted because I may not have time to always be on the site and, for me, the point of Dlisted isn't to sit around nodding about how we're all so right but rather to read interesting, smart comments that vary in perspective. Sorry if some of you don't feel your comments are driving conversation like you would like. I do actually read most comments in a post if it's a post that seems to have good conversation going. So next time, if you want it to drive discussion feel free to write something as simple as "I think X. What do you guys think? Discuss!" because I'll probably take the bait hahaha
I went to The Row website, clicked on the ready-to-wear section and had a nice long laugh XD

Me too! I am the vintage queen! I have a fabulous grey leather motorcycle jacket I am always complimented on, and I love to brag that I got it from Goodwill for $7!!! And this cashmere cowlneck...found it in a box on the curb! I recently spent $200 on a $500 purse because it was soooo beautiful and well-made with soft leather...but now I may return it or re-sell it because I feel ridic walking around with Badgley Mischka (sp?) purse even w/o a huge logo.

Well, if it's any comfort, I would not be assuming you bought it with welfare money. If I stared, it would be from an itching certainty in my skull that that bag does not go with those sweats.

"NOSOPD -Not our sort of person darling"
Is this what the rhubarb is about? Doesn't seem very alarming to me. Personally I am a big fan of conspicuous consumption, and enjoyed Thorstein Veblen's humorous discussion thereof.
Upon a second reading, I will submit to M that conspicuous consumption is the very essence of beauty. Were I to have an original Van Gogh on my wall, surely that would be conspicuous consumption--it has no practical use.
What is the alternative to inviduals investing their effort to earn things they want to have--even if said possessions have the loathsome and regrettable quality of being impractical and decorative on some respect? Some sort of dictatorial ministry of clothing that prohibits decorative frivolity in handbags?
***Submitted by Migraineuse on Tue, 12/04/2012 - 12:17pm.
Maybe if we lived in a world where everybody's choices happen in a vacuum and none of them ever affect the rest of us. But in the world we live in, conspicuous consumption creates more wasteful production to create more conspicuous consumption. Our culture is drowning in too much stuff.
If an object isn't beautiful or useful, it has no reason to exist.
