Online Window Shopping

Online Window Shopping

Kwame IM-ed me earlier and invited me to online window shop with him. I normally do this at websites like this one because I want this TV. But tonight Kwam was already on eLuxury.com so we online shopped to our heart's (dis)content.

Our Top 7 "Holy Crap I Can't Believe People Actually Pay This Much For This" Item List:

1. Trish McEvoy Petite Brush Set ($75)
2. Christian Dior Large Logo Frame ($160)
3. Santa Maria Novella Body Milk ($60) ("Riss, if I ever buy "body milk" for myself..put a skirt on me and call me a bitch.")
4. La Perla "Greenhouse Vest" That's Really A Skimpy Non-Supportive Bra ($208)
5. Louis Vuitton Nail Polish ($67)
6. Diptyque Cinnamon Candle ($40)
7. Luxury Silver Shaving Set ($95)

Riss:holy shit how fucked up is that. I pay 95 bucks for a brush and razor and you can't give me the blades??
Kwame: Badger hair? is that like a beaver?
Riss: oh good...I was afraid they would use horse hair or something.. I hate brushing myself with horse hair.. it's so common.
Kwame: horse hair is for peasants. badger hair is the hair of kings.
Riss: second only to beaver hair. (Note: It's good I only had to type that. I wouldn't have been able to say it out loud without snickering)
Kwame: someone is going to get that for chirstmas and say "Buffy, did they not have beaver??" and buffy will cry in shame
Riss: "Oh look...badger hair. How nice." And then Muffy will cry and feel low class.
Kwame: "did she think I wouldn't notice the badger hair??"
Riss: wtf is a badger anyway...oh yeah those things with the big wide tails.
Kwame: and we need to take their hair, so we can put on shaving cream. Americans are so over the top..

I talk a whole lot of shit but I must admit, after I make my first million I'm going to buy myself a set of this stupidly overpriced but really nice Louis Vuitton luggage. If you're going to be a materialistic snot, you have to do it right.

Kwame says he hates all the VW commercials that are playing these days. I agree they're kind of dumb but I'm really only irked by the one where you have no idea what the hell is going on and what the commercial is for, until the guy on it looks out the window at a punchbuggy about 47 seconds after you first got annoyed.

Riss: the song from that dumb commercial sticks in my head though and now that nicholas cage movie is using it
Kwame: u see he is getting divorced
Riss: already? Whats it been like 8 days
Kwame: hahaaha i think 9. I would have left her after she was on the MTV awards looking like christina aguilera
Riss: and I just heard him on howard, talking about wedded bliss
Kwame: but why did he marry her?
Kwame: shes like a "hit it and leave" chic
Riss: because he wanted to bang Elvis's daughter

But I digress (and honestly, who am I to discuss failed marriages) so back to commercials. Like last Christmas, I still hate the Gap commercials. How the mighty have fallen. Two years ago, Gap and VW had the best commercials around. Incidentally I love love love that Hershey Kiss commercial where the Hershey Kisses play "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" like bells, and then the last one rings for awhile. Every year it comes back and I'm giddily surprised. I really should just tape record it one day in case they ever stop using it. I don't know why they would though, it's really a tried and true classic.

Mykee just IM-ed me this url and after its little presentation was done, I sat there waiting for like 10 minutes for the part where it tells me I'm an idiot. I am soooo cynical sometimes.

So every 3 months or so I end up accidentally watching Dawson's Creek. What that means is, I watch Friends and then Everybody Loves Raymond and then end up forgetting to change the channel because I'm in the middle of something. Tonight's episode was the only one I ever truly enjoyed. It was fun watching high and drunken psycho chic tell everyone off at Christmas dinner. I really felt though that the episode showed what hypocrites they all are. No matter how much a friend has pissed you off, you never ever ever let them drive drunk. Someone should have followed her to make sure she didn't grab car keys, but instead they were all too busy sitting around being "shocked." I hate that show. Any show in which a character who plays a famous actress uses the words "self-aggrandizing" is suspect in my book. My favorite part of tonight's episode was when psycho druggie chic said "SO Mr. Potter... tell me about prison again and why you don't think Eddie is good enough for your daughter??" HAHAHA...hysterical.
