[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I [b]thought my husband might be getting me a Birkin as a push present[/b]…then I read the purse forum. Sigh. There’s no way he would go through this process for a bag for me!!! [/quote]

This comment wins as most gross of the thread.   That term alone makes me stabby.[/quote]

I'm carrying his child and we make more money than we can spend. We do big things like this for each other once every 5 years. [b]I'd love to hear your suggestions on how else to waste $20,000.[/b] At least the Birkin is an investment and will hold its value! [/quote]

Ugh. How about giving it to a charity? Completely grotesque.[/quote]

I wonder how many abortions she could fairy godmother for that amount - or how many IUDs she could buy for poor women in underserved states. I wonder how many shelves she could fill at a food shelf, and with the good stuff that those families never get. I wonder how many trees she and her husband could plant in heat island cities, or if they could fill the shelves of a crappy school library. I wonder how many music lessons could be bought for 20K. I wonder what that 20K would do if it were “wasted” on preserving genetic diversity in seeds at Seed Savers or Southern Exposure or Native Seeds, or funding free community gardens. How many hours of therapy could you buy for someone who needs it but can’t afford it. I wonder how much plastic that 20K could remove from the Anacostia if it were donated to Anacostia Riverkeeper. You could probably keep a small town, independently owned newspaper in business.

I mean, it’s your money. I’m sure you give amply to charity. It’s just that there is something more than faintly repulsive about this song and dance for a purse, to say nothing of spending twenty. thousand. dollars on a purse. It’s up there in sheer stupidity with 50K watches. It is the “let them eat cake”-iest object. Enjoy your new purse. [/quote]
