Hiya peeps...a bit busy today so I'll be brief...
Does anybody else ever wonder how so many psychos get on Gilt or any of theother shopping sites like RueLaLa and Haute Look so freaking fast? How can
they be so much more stealth than I? What do they do that I'm not doing?
It's becoming a blood sport to score the choice items on Gilt and sites like
it. Almost impossible to get the best stuff. And then I wonder if everyone else has this weird "guilt" thing happen that
happens to me- well it's not guilt really, but a second guessing sort of
paranoia which occurs when you choose the items that are not already in some
frenzied shopper's cart. Why is it available? Why doesn't anyone want it? Is
it ugly? Do they know something I don't? Sigh. And there must be a name created in our modern lexicon for placing items in
your cart even if you don't want them. Why do we do that? A friend of mine
told me she put no less than 5 Rebecca Minkoff bags in her cart the other
day, with no real intention of buying them. What can we call this brand of
stockpile fakery? Does it simply satisfy us to just get the items in our
cart without buying them? Hmm. Its sort of the equivalent of faking an
orgasm- shopping but not really shopping. That's that, then. I shouldn't be on any of these sites, anyway. I hardly
have an empty closet. But who can resist a Helmut Lang sale, really? Even if
I put things in my cart and don't buy them. It's just what we do in 2010.
And that's what's up this unshoppy Tuesday in the MIA. XO
