On friday night, we went to dinner at Cucina Toscana in SLC. IT WAS AMAZING. Highly recommend it for a special night out! Our food was seriously unbelievable. Asparagus stuffed ravioli with four cheese sauce anyone? I think I am drooling right now.
While I was there, I saw this girl walk by.
{Ashley Tisdale, or to some of you, Sharpay}
I think they're in the middle of filming HS MUSICAL 4. Apparently three was just NOT enough...? She was strutting her stuff past our table to the back of the restaurant with her nose job up in the air. So funny. For all you H.S.M. fans, sorry. I didn't get a pic or autograph.
Side note, can we talk about brand flashing for a sec? This picture cracks me up. I think it is so far beyond tacky. Why no just hold it in front of your face if you want to show it off that bad? If you can afford a $5,000 bag (or a $200 bag for that matter) do you really feel the need to advertise it to the world by plastering the logo all over the place? Why don't you buy one that's actually cute and then run around telling everyone, "want to know how much my bag costs?" I think it's about equal on the tacky scale, but at least you would have a cute purse. Or maybe you should leave the price tag on. Or tattoo Louis Vuitton on your wrist. So here's a tip from me. Having a logo clad bag (shoes, shirt, whatever) doesn't make you cute. It makes you rich or maybe just bad with money or an impulsive buyer. I would be so much more impressed if you spent $20 bucks on a fabulous Target bag.
Thus endeth the vent sesh.
I could not agree more!! I think I have complained about this exact same thing at least 100 times (especially living in brand obsessed Bellevue)! The bags aren't even cute, but girls still buy them b/c they're covered in Cs or LVs...so tacky!! There's so many nice bags out there that I can't figure out why anyone would want to pay so much money to be a walking advertisement! I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way!!
ReplyDeleteAmen sistah! I'm still laughing out loud. My mouth has seriously been watering since you explained, in great detail, your fabulous meal. Now that we've got the name, we will for sure be trying it on our next trip South. Thanks again for your time on Saturday, it was great to finally meet you in person, and to subject you to the torture known as '3 drama queens under 5' you were incredibly patient, and for that we will be forever grateful!
ReplyDeleteEeeew, she screams tacky!
ReplyDeleteAMEN sista.. That is my biggest pet peeve.. I think thats what bugged me a little about living in Beverly.. Everyone thought they had such style because they were decked out in True Religions, Tory Burch flats, Chanel bags, and Dolce and Gabanna shades.. Just to name a few...REALLY! UGGHHH ;)
ReplyDeleteK.. thats HILARIOUS.. "Ali" said amen sista too! ha
ReplyDeleteSo.......I'll see you in duathalon tomorrow! Right! Uhmm....... I must really suck because I kind of like Tory Burch flats.
ReplyDeleteI got my C covered purse for Christmas. I actually really like it, but I have to agree I am sick of looking at everyone else who has the same thing. I have been telling my husband for a long time about how I want a bag that doesn't scream what designer it is. BUT, I'm sure there are things out there that you might only wear, like a good pair of jeans, or certain brand of bra. I guess those hide the label better.
ReplyDeleteNow I am curious because of your great style, where you buy your clothes??? I love Target, I haven't tried their new line hawk and something?
this is really old. but i just wanted to say something. there are several interviews of ashleys where she's said she gets those expensive bags as gifts. i'm a huge fan of ashley, but i my uncle also lives right across the street from her (literally) and i've met her quite a few times and she's an amazing person. i'm not meaning to sound rude; i'm just defensive when it comes to people i know. and she's not 'flaunting' her bag, she's just posing for the cameras.... she's one of the most down to earth celebrities in hollywood, and it's completely noticeable when you see the videos of the paparazzi stalking her or the pictures, her interviews, and even her own home videos (she has a youtube account and posts the most hilarious vidoes, she's a super sweet person) bagging on someone just because they have a name brand bag is kind of insensitive. the bag isn't even important.... by the way, i have that exact same bag, it's actually LV and it only costs $50... so its not that expensive.
ReplyDeleteps: the nosejob was due to an 80% deviated septum. most people think she just made up an excuse to have it, but it was an emergency. she hyperventalated backstage at the high school musical concert i attended and she was put on an oxygen tube. the medics there originally thought she was having a heart attack at first.
