Oprah told bags are “too expensive” for her

[Cynical Ninja]

That didn't happen.

We would prefer to pretend it did thanks.

Duchess, I just asked my son to hand me my purse. He grabs it and I said hey be gentle with that. He says its just a Coach. All the black ladies on welfare carry them. I can't believe he said that! He is the most unracist kid I know. Usually.

Great minds. Har Har

It's spreading into your state now, Ramsey.

It's because of them that I will never carry one.

I bought a new handbag yesterday and I specifically avoided Coach. Duchess has ruined them for me. :'(

[ramseycat]

Dammit Duchess!

[Duchess]

It's not my fault those bitches are drawn to knockoffs.

You never see a black carrying a Dooney or a Guess so I stick strictly to those.

[ramseycat]

I guess I will have to switch. But I love Coach! I'm sad.

I'm not even sure what brand my new purse is. I'll look when I get home. It has some dangly thing on it that has two letters but I plan on taking that off. Generally, I don't like advertising of any kind on my clothing or handbags unless it's very discreet.

I bought a new pair of sunglasses yesterday and I love them but I was annoyed to find out the very tiny "vogue" on the upper left corner of one of the lenses seemingly isn't a sticker but etched. I'm going to live with it because otherwise, I love the glasses but it definitely bugs me.

Where did you but the shades?

Our Macy's has a Sunglass Hut in it now.

Hahaha! Most of us reply to her posts like they are normal. We automatically decipher the ramsey-isms.

I love it... the store says it didn't happen the way Winfrey said it did... so now the publicity whore is sorry she ever mentioned it.

THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU? Oh, that's right... you're pimping a movie that has a race factor to it and you needed to be relevant.

Amazing how such an enlightened person never had it cross her mind that it was just a language barrier thing - which is probably the likely cause of the whole misunderstanding.

Apparently I had one or two more fucks to give.

Yep, I don't think Oprah should have assumed the sales clerk was racist (whether she is or not) and mentioned the incident publicly if it wasn't a big deal, much less labeling it a "racist" incident with no facts to back up that contention.

Had the clerk known of Oprah or her net worth, that Crocodile bag would have been in front of her face to view in two seconds flat. I don't really buy "trying to be kind" as the reason for suggesting lesser expensive products; the store probably just doesn't want it to get damaged or ripped off and only shows it to those who they know or assume have the money to buy it.

Wrong assumptions all the way around.

So, they all live to tell the tale... and Tina Turner managed to get married despite the hugely significant global bag incident surrounding her nuptials.

Mr Bone feels strongly about Oprah. This isn't the first time I've seen him raise his voice in regards to her.

Indeed... the happy couple:

eh, nevermind.

Ugh! It's frustrating when people do that. It makes me feel snotty in response...but I won't be with you. I know you have tender feelings that need to be sheltered.

You have to admit, I've grown on you.
