Cynically Optimistic

I was again in the city this weekend, hanging out with friends and watching movies and window shopping. Oh the things we saw! For one, another bejewelled item in a store window caught my eye. I can't remember which store we were near, but this little watermellon purse would go well with the bejewelled iPod Shuffle from a few weeks ago. Don't you think? Like, Totally, for sure.

I broke my old faithful Wenger Swiss Army watch a few weeks ago and haven't yet found a suitable replacement. I went to check out Barney's NY, but didn't find anything I wanted (or could afford) but I did try on a Mont Blanc watch that cost $3000. Seeing that I wasn't satisfied with mere trinkets, George takes me to Tourneau to shop for things I really cannot afford. Oh, the humanity! My Eyes were suffering from all the bling. We began at the lowest floor of the store, in the affordable section, and worked our way up. ALL the way up to the 4th floor. When the affordable section starts around $600, you can only imagine what they have upstairs. Downstairs I tried on a $10,000 watch by some company I'd never heard of. It was a little flashy for me. By the time we reached the top floor, we were being shown a Blancpain watch that ran a cool $80,000. It had automatic tourbillon winding, and it was made of platinum or dilithium crystals or something. The nice saleswoman removed it from the case and allowed me to hold this precious object, but that's as far as I got, even after I complimented her lovely eyes. Apparently my charms don't work on everyone's mom.
