Frankly, I try and stay in the 8th, but everyone has their favorites.



The situation, like many things with Ms. Winfrey, was her own fault, falsely labelled as racism and blown completely out of proportion. A top executive of Hermès had to go on her show and apologize lest the company risk a boycott.

And for what? It was her fault. She came at closing time, with no appointment and pulled the "Don't you know who I am?" routine typical of divas.

If Juliette Binoche, who won an Oscar IN THIS COUNTRY, were to show up at the front door of Ralph Lauren at closing time, would anyone recognize her? Would she pull a stunt like this?

Low class.

Gee, and I figured you to be a Kelly (bag) kind of girl.
Totally agree with you. Not looking to get political here, but the Oprah/Hermes incident was sooooo her fault.

You're spot on.....I AM more of a Kelly bag girl. I just would love to have the option of walking into Hermes and saying "i'll take 3 Birkins". I didn't state that they had to me pour moi!
(actually I prefer Dior)
