Would you pay $3,000 for torn clothing?

Listen. No way would I pay $3,000 for some mess that looks like someone wore it on the movie 'Roots' ... 

I CAN'T!
Not quite sure what runaway slave narrative Yeezy is on. But he needs his head checked.

The way my coins set up ... Seriously, I'd smack anyone who even thinks about buying this foolery. WHY?

And WTH is wrong with Kanye? First the $300 plain white T-shirts and now this? I think Kanye is skipping his meds. Kimye, get your boy! There is fashion ... and then there is foolishness.

 I think Bargainistas could easily create this look with a pair of scissors and clothing at Goodwill for about $20? 

What do you think?

Shoe game WON!

Shoe game favor ain't fair.

I got these Valentino-inspired shoes from fellow Atlanta thrifter Ashley Gray. The Lord blessed me to wear the same heel size as she does  ... and when I tell you I stalk her shoes on Facebook .... LOL. Check her out on Facebook here.

Every single time I wear these shoes, I get compliments. Like now -- I'm at the doctor's office and everyone from patients to nurses to the doctor is complimenting me on them. Everyone wants to know where I got them ...


Chile, if they knew how much I paid for them .... Actually, I told them (but I don't think they believe me) I only spent $22.

These shoes cost me a dinner out at Longhorn ... The real Valentinos cost thousands!

No, ma'am!

So you mean to tell me that she woke up that morning, decided to put her arms into a pair of jeans and wore them on her back ... literally?
Chile... Ummm ..... nope. Jesus died on the cross for this foolishness? Lawd, help me. I can't even can. It is Sunday. And I know my Lord did not pay it all on the cross so that she could wear a jacket on her damn back.
A jean jacket costs $6 at Goodwill! I know. I have a closet full of them. I am not here for this foolishness, k? Folks cut jeans and turn them into purses and skirts, fine. I am all for creativity. Do you, boo!
But this is just too much. I cannot! No. Nope. And hell nawl.
