I have asked Babe for an
Hermes beach towel for the past four birthdays and have yet to receive nary a one.
He is petrified of ending up on American Greed one day as "the former CEO whose wife collected $500
beach towels".
I even had a friend stop sitting next to me on the beach one summer after I mentioned my desire for these luxury items. Other's were too polite to tell me what was being said behind my tanned Melissa Odabash wearing back, but I could only imagine. Probably, something along the lines of the above mentioned American Greed transcript.
Pshaw...no one gives Elle Macpherson grief for collecting
them!
Well, this year I'm logging in a
smidgeroon early with my (above) birthday request in the hope that four months is plenty time to allow Babe to come to terms with his eventual fall from grace.

I have admired them from afar. That and an Hermes bag.

I sure do hope you get one! You seem to be very dedicated and determined, which is the #1 reason why this year should be your year to get one!!! Good Luck!!!
ReplyDeleteI am very in love right now with a $500 pair of purple Roberto Cavalli sunglasses and I'm having the same trouble with my fiance! He's convinced I'll sit on them! haha
I have two points to make.
ReplyDelete#1 - I, understand your love of anything 'Hermes'. If my husband wants to know, my Kelly bag came from Target. Got it? (that was back before economy went 'splat')
#2 - If you can afford it you should buy it!
I hear about these people who won't buy their luxury items because they think it's 'vulgar' in a bad economy! The people who can shop should still keep money going into the economy.
Just think - if you purchased at least TWO of those towels - one for you and one for Babe - you could be saving someone's job.

I left you something over on my page!
ReplyDeleteI left you something on my page too! Darn that Paisley & Pearls - she beat me to it! ;)
ReplyDeleteTell JDR to be a man and get you that beach towel! they are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog via DC Prep, and I adore it!
ReplyDeleteI also love these towels, but Mr. Newlywed is under the impression beach towels shouldn't cost more than $10.00.
We're working on that.
OMG... the monkey. Have to have it.
ReplyDeleteIf I ever get super rich I am getting the elephant one!
