Art on a Birkin?

Beautiful handbags are an amazing accessory to add to any outfit. I am all for splurging on a nice bag but only if i am absolutely crazy about the design. Birkins, have now become a must have item for all splurging fashionistas out there. Birkins have a $10,000-plus price tag and a legendary waiting list, which is why it is not surprising that the high demand has created a market out there for fake birkins.

I have never understood why people are so crazy about birkins..and would probably never understand why. Beauty they say is in the eyes of its beholder. What totally goes over my head however, is birkin customisation using graffiti or some other kind of 'art'. That totally eludes me.

I understand that if people have spent thousands of dollars on a handbag, with money they have worked hard for, then they should be allowed to do whatever they wish. However, i think graffiti/art on a birkin is just tacky and quite frankly, very annoying to look at. People do crazy things to stand out or to be different but the ones that usually are different/ stand out, do so quite effortlessly.

What do you think? Do you think this is tacky or the ultimate tag of luxury?

You are what you read

I am an academic and so i often find ways to let my hair down and relax the use of my brain. Lately, i find myself visiting some blogs that frankly make me feel dumber once i go through the lot. It sounds weird i know but that's honestly the truth. Time goes by really quickly so i have decided not to waste any more time reading anything on any website that does not add to my knowledge or expand my horizon. Whats the point of knowing that kim kardashian is pregnant for kanye west if its actually not going to solve world hunger? Some peoples destiny is to revel in such information and perhaps make money from all of it. That's fine. I doubt that's what my path in life is supposed to be and so i have to put a stop to it. I have decided to stop visiting such websites and spend my free time doing more productive (lighter) things. I'd rather give my time caring for abandoned children than sit in front of my laptop reading irrelevant news. I do not want to wake up one day when i am 60 and realise i have not made any contribution to humanity.
