@moet-chan: It was over on south La Cienega, close to the 405 entrance/exit. I was in London in the fall and saw a complete stroller set (complete with baby bag, etc.) upholstered in Fendi. Crazy!

@Gnorb: Becoming over-socialized is such a universal phenomenon, isn’t it? I got a brightkite invite the other day and I’m not too sure I’m all that interested. Because a couple days prior, I got an invitation to Twine. Now what is Twine? What is Britekite? Now we’re all on teh interwebs to get “connected” in one way or another, right? But in the end it just becomes too much.

I don’t know how much that has to do with LV, because both of the above examples are new, but … yeah. Oversocialization.

But seriously, about the post: timeless lesson. It’s all to easy to lose ourselves in the process of trying to make our mark, especially when we try being too many things for too many people. I suppose it’s not surprising when this type of attitude makes the jump from real life to the web. Where once it was a bastion of individualism it has become yet another over-socialized medium where our perceptions of how others see us can often change who we truly are.

and what if the “true” inner you, was someone who just wanted to flaunt it?

what if they were a fan of luxury brands, a connoisseur of quality, and an independent fashion consumer? would it be okay?? okay to get the custom leather seats, and a custom/detailed paint job?

true, most likely it’s a poseur faking it…..but what’s the sayings? book and its cover? casting the first stone? glass houses??
