[lbo-talk] $39,000 handbag

[Dennis Claxton]

I gotta come up with 40 grand between now and November so I can get 
one of these for a gift on the occasion of my daughter's entry into 
teenagerhood.

I never thought the Olsens could do anything for me except weird me 
out, but there's a link here to a photo of them in bed together 
reading a book on Brigitte Bardot by Simone de Beauvoir.  I never 
heard of that book but now, thanks to Mary-Kate and Ashley, I'm going 
to look for it:

You may or may not have heard about this, but last month one of the 
Olsen twins was photographed with a handbag. I'm not making this up. 
And this is not like those other times that one of the Olsen twins 
was photographed with a handbag. No, forget about all those Yves 
Saint Laurents, Balenciagas and Chanels (as shown here). This 
specific handbag on this specific Olsen (Ashley) was an as-yet 
unreleased handbag from The Row, the Olsens' own fashion line. 
Additionally, this specific handbag retails at $39,000.
