Internet Luxury

"Technology has improved so much that fake goods look more 'real' than authentic ones"
-The Needy Consumer

'Designer Warehouse'
With so much fake goods circulating the globe today, it's hard to tell if that Chanel wallet you just bought is real or not. Sure it looks real, but there's always a little doubt at the back of your mind teasing you.

Eluxury is an online saler of many of the world's chicest brands including: Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Juicy Couture, D&G Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, and Versace.

Internet shopping is getting more popular than ever as well as this world's obsession with designer brands. Of course Eluxury will make it easier and more comforting for Designers and cosumers alike to buy and sell.

So far as I know, Eluxury is the only online retailer of Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior [other than their own websites], Dolce And Gabbana, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, and Versace. They do not charge and more than as you would get buying in their own stores [in the U.S. or in USD, that is].

You can depend on their great customer service, Live Help, and be assured that what you are buying is 100% authentic. No more guessing or embarassing moments in public.

Give Eluxury a try next time you need indulge in luxury.

Nicole Ritchie Is Pregnant

"Nicole it's not fat, it's a Baby....."

-The Needy Consumer

"The troubled three-some each get their scandals one after the other"

All we hear about now is Linds, Paris, and Nicole. Lindsay, as we all know, has a problem with alcohol and drugs. As for her 21st birthday, it’s reported that she will stay away from these dangerous substances. It’s either she is really [and I mean really!] taking a new approach to living healthy or some people need to work on their lying skills. I’m pretty sure it’s the liars.

Paris, just freed from the slammer, seems to be reconnecting with herself in Hawaii. Surely orange will not be seen on her for quite sometime unless she decides to drive again.

Then we have wrong-way Nicole who tends to be quite scary behind the wheel [so now can you guys change your view on the “Asians are bad drives” stereotype? Because clearly even though Nicole is multiracial she is not a bit Asian and is the worst driver, perhaps, ever.], stirring up more controversy with her weight. The skinny, 5’1’’ “I want to be everything” star has less fat in her system than a third of my breakfast. And now with this weight problem and her possible jail stint [BFF are so alike aren’t they?] she surprises us all with a meal? No. A new driving coach? No. Oh, of all things she could improve on, she decided to have a Baby.

"Some things take courage....."

I’m Pro-Life, but sometimes I do get skeptical on the system of Motherhood. Now every woman does not want to be questioned of their quality of Motherhood but you know that deep inside you’d never forgive yourself for every single mistake you make raising your Family.

Honestly, some people don’t deserve to raise Children and I’m afraid that Nicole, based on her recent behaviors, fits just that description. I’m not a Mother myself [but will before 25!] but I know what a great Mother is, so if I was her child, I will raise my hand immediately for foster care or adoption.

But you know, as much as I rant, I do not feel happy at all bashing her like that. But I still do what I’m doing because of a little thing about Child Sympathy.

Why I’m so angry at Nicole is that [even is she’s not, she’s making it very clear that it is and she’s not doing anything, yet, to stop it] she’s Pregnant just to avoid jail. You remember the Paris joke of that she probably slept with everybody in Hollywood? Well Paris went through jail like a woman, and I say that with a lot of respect [even though she teared up a lot and ranted a bit]. Did Paris get Pregnant? Of all people to do this, I’d probably guess Paris would.
I’m hoping that the judge that decided “Being a Hilton does not mean you are above the law” influences the judge in Ritchie’s case that “Having a Baby does not mean you are above the law”. I wish the best for her Baby and he or she does not deserve to be born in jail but it seems way too obvious she did this for a reason, and specifically this. Maybe we’re just caught up in way too many coincidences. But I doubt that even though I like Nicole better than Paris or Lindsay.

"A new beginning?"

Also if she gets out of jail, will she raise him or her well? She can hardly hold herself together. Does she know that you will get “fat” while you are Pregnant? It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford condoms or birth control, they planned this. And

I hope she carries out of this a new respect for Life of herself and her Baby’s.

I'm Tyrannoyed

"Trash that is funny for five minutes if you're with other people. If you're
alone, it's not funny. Those girls will never be the next Gemma Ward. There is no justice in the fashion business."

'Some people over do self-love'
I am an avid watcher of ANTM and have known [not personally] Tyra Banks way before that. Tyra Banks has done a lot for herself and has accomplished a lot more than people of her age. She’s hardworking, beautiful, and she doesn’t want to fit in with “stick-skinny” models. She created America’s Next Top Model which has resulted not only as a successful TV show but also an international phenomenon with numerous countries following her.
can't you just feel the love?

So why can’t I stand her?
Because she’s deeply in love with her self. The Oprah “replacement” maybe went through too many successes. I know her intentions are good but she always ends up making things about herself. ANTM, “I did this in Milan”, “If you can’t do this like me, then you can’t make it”, “I remember when I was eighteen…..” Do you ever remember what you say? WE KNOW, OKAY? And to end her feud with Naomi Campbell? That is not an “Oprah would do this”. That’s a publicity stunt for her own benefit. She did this because Naomi Campbell tried to end her career and of the emotional pain piled up all these years.

Meanwhile on ANTM, she tells the girls that modeling is a tough world. People try to bring you down but it’s not “Top Model” for nothing. All the girls listen, all the judges listen, heck, the world listens. But this little truth applies to everyone except Tyra. So why are you biting Naomi’s butt trying to get her to apologize.
Naomi knows where to aim now.

You could tell that inside Naomi’s mind, she was like, ‘you insecure idiot, I’m remembered as Supermodel/Superangry Naomi Campbell not someone who sits there and listens to all that complaining [Now where’s a telephone I could use?]’. Uh Oh Tyra, looks like someone’s more ‘fierce’ than you.

Another important topic, weight.

'There's no room on the catwalk if you are over a size 2'
It’s hard for a model to promote healthy living because models are known to be stick skinny nowadays. But Tyra tries. Tyra tries to be everybody’s best friend. On her show, she says to her audience that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Then on ANTM, she makes sure her girls fit the profile of perfection.




wait a minute.....doesn't Tyra look like that?

But uh-oh Tyra knows that what she’s doing is wrong, on the recent seasons she starts hiring "plus-size” models. Then after a few cuts, they are eliminated when they could picture better than most of the skinny girls. I bet you they plan this every week on how to lure the fat girl into a hole she can’t get out of. Because Tyra can’t present the catwalk with a plus size right?

'There is no justice in the fashion business'

Then right after she quits modeling, she gets huge herself. Week after week we see Tyra get a little pudgier, a little more pudgier…..till one day somebody decided to capture a picture of her in the ocean.

Lemme tell you that was probably the first time Tyra stopped and looked at herself after her farewell to modeling. And she was as shocked as we were.
Then she went on her show and demanded that all girls who have flesh on them be strong and deal with it, ending her tear-jerking speech with “You can kiss my fat a--”.


Sometimes when I think about this, I feel like a hypocrite too because I’m still in love with ANTM. But believe me I’m trying to either compromise with “no-entertainment Wednesdays” or “I love myself Tyra”.

What’s different about Tyra is that she’ll always be a self-lover. And you know what? She’d make a perfect Oprah. But if that does happen, then screw you daytime television.

Starbucks: Worth It?

Starbucks says they are going to start putting religious quotes on cups. The very first one will say, 'Jesus! This cup is expensive!'
-Conan O'Brien

'Coffee shouldn't be this expensive'


And that's how consumers feel. $3, $4, $5 for a cup of coffee? Didn't caffeine just make the "bare necessities" list a couple of years back? As the name goes more Italian, the prices go insane. Machiato, Misto, Frappuccino, just watch your dollars fly out of your pocket. With all that money you take for coffee, might as well pay your employees, but good ol' Starbucks keeps it real by paying Barristas minimum wage.

'Relax, it's an image thing.....'

Nevertheless, I find the urge almost everyday to go and repeat the magical words, "Grande, Iced Caffe Mocha, please".

So why, when we wouldn't even want to spare change [wait, I do] to the homeless guy on the corner, would we invest in a cup of coffee every time we feel the need?

Coffee isn't bragged about health-wise. Pregnant women are advised to limit their drinking, best to stop. Children are to stay away from caffeine. I remember when they said that coffee is for you only after you've reached the age where you live in a dorm, attend class after class, and have piles of papers to do.

Take this as an example: Starbucks is increasing in bookstores. You know the drill, you go to Barnes&Noble to get your weekly literal education and you go thirsty. You take your book to Starbucks [just footsteps away] and you enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee. Now you need to be entertained. You go to the magazine section now, pick up People, Us Weekly, Vogue, and you open it and wahlaa!, your idol is on the page, caught by a pap, holding a Starbucks. Now don't you feel a sense of achievement? This, plus perhaps you dress or talk like them and watch all of their movies and listen to all of their tracks, is you guys's bond. Think about that. A tall cup of Starbucks coffee brings you and the celebrity together. And probably the closest you'll ever get to fame.

'Even coffee needs to be pretty, a make-over now and then'

Starbucks takes care of your needs. With dogs [what happened to Tinkerbell?] and Babies coming into the fashion scene, coffee need be chic.

Other than the free celebrity endorsements they recieve, Starbucks is stepping coffee up a notch.

Starbucks signature cups, the chic-ness of their names, the cup-holders, the flashy logo, the wisdom on their cups, the Starbucks products, the mugs, the glasses, the chocolates, the cakes, the 'other drinks', the sandwichs [and other food] the liquors, the ice cream, the philosophy that coffee and jazz should elope and they did and boy are they the couple. Next up, is going to be clothing. Debuting in the Paris Fashion Week.

You aren't paying for coffee, you are paying for an image. You are paying for all of the above. All of the glitter and tinsel that makes Starbucks stand out.

Starbucks is no longer a coffee-house, it's a lifestyle.
