I get most of my “news” from The View. I know…I know…everyone has an opinion on Rosie, but I like The View and I am going to keep watching it. Anyway…last week they showed that ugly ass bag from Louis Vuitton. You know the one I mean, the $42,000 bag. The Patchwork Tribute Bag. The one that sold out in less than a week.
So they talked about it on The View last week. The ladies were shocked at the cost and ugliness. Rosie said, sort of off-handedly, she was going to make one, over the weekend, from stuff she found in her craft house. Joy laughed. Joy was still laughing this morning when they showed the picture of Rosie’s and mentioned that the bag was sold out. Rosie has donated hers to be auctioned off on chartiybuzz.com The money will be going to Rosie’s charity Rosie’s Broadway Kids. The bidding is $1,100 at the time of this post.
It’s just as fugly, but at least the money is going to a good cause.
I’ve seen patchwork purses I like (not those), but paying thousands for a bag I’m going to toss on the floor of the car? Um, no!
you know me…ultra different sleep schedule than your, but often i wake up and watch a few minnutes of the view before a go back to sleep. AT ELEVEN THIRTY IN THE MORNING. WHICH IS NEARLY NOON.
but, whatever.
i work nights.
anywho.
i thought rosie’s bag was every bit as good as the original bag.
in fact, i want to make my own bags now.
p.s.
holy crap, with the way-more-entries-than-normal.
go on, girl!
