Our Youth
Part of my job is to watch and read the trade magazines. So, what am I doing on a Friday night? Yep, that's right. Sitting in my living room reading trade magazines.
One is on Toy Trends. No, not those kind of toys - ya perverts. Toys. The kind you buy your kids. In particular this article was focused on this years Christmas trends. (just so you know - I'm already pitching next years back to school stuff, so they're a bit late with this!)
As I'm browsing through this riviting publication I see that one of the hottest trends for those girls between youth and teen are the plush purses.
Ok - that makes sense.
Then I see this.
Oh. My. Flippin'. Gott.
So now the youth of this country want to emulate Paris Flippin' Hilton!!! Arrggghhhh.
So of course I'm ranting and raving. Just beyond myself.
T1G is visiting and busy blogging. As I rant he looks up from his computer to say "Nothing wrong with wanting to be a rich whore"
..........
I have nothing to add to that.

it is better than wanting to emulate a poor whore.
PinkNinja got a similar item at DH Christams party last year from santa. It is a white poodle in a pink purse thingy. She loves it. its a purse, it is a dog......
i know
I'm lucky, I think. Girlie is definitely a girlie- but she's not a foo-foo girlie. More of a tomboy girlie.
THAT purse would not fly in this house...okay- it WOULD fly...straight into the trash.

And Tammi, tell T1G that there is *too* something wrong with wanting to be a rich whore. Holy crap....
