Reblogging Julia
A critical analysis of the public ramblings of the creature formerly known as Ms. Baugher, who provides a manic amount of content to parse.
Every little thing she does is tragic.
Talk to me (juliabaugher at gmail) Always held in strict confidence.
There's (just a little) something about Mary.
You seem like a nice enough person. Strong opinions on matters of fashion and personal grooming, and the world surely needs more of those. You appear to be a good friend and sister, and that HAS to be a little awkward, to say the least. Although your purses are not my….uh…bag, you have a catchy marketing thing going on with the CLICK concept. All told, not much to baugher where you are concerned.
However, when you start complaining about being ripped off, glaring admissions such as “in all honesty, the CLICK design has been done before, but I reconstructed it and came up with the ”CLICK” marketing concept (in the shower actually) which is what really sold the bag” kind of defeat your outrage and calls for public shaming. It might also be helpful if you afford the designer the respect of spelling her name correctly (Karan, not Karen), if only for professional goodwill.
Of course, if it is a leveraged buyout you are angling for, and I think you are, I don’t think a blog smackdown or a bit in Page Six Magazine are going to advance your cause. A famous and more established designer reconstructed a design that you freely admit wasn’t your original creation. While it is positively American to hope for a lottery-like windfall, your professed moral outrage seems to be, well, tacky. Not unlike carrying or wearing an obvious knockoff, or last seasons’ Burberry. Or obvious unnatural extensions. Or white shoes with black hose. But I digress.
I baugher this out of concern, as it is a slippery slope to willful self delusion. Beware the kryptonite and all that.
