Beg, steal or borrow?

I give you two minutes to look closely to the picture on the left. Something isn't right. Yes, her boobs are planning an escape, but that's not what I mean. Haven't found it yet? Here's a clue, take a closer look at the hem of Lindsay's dress.







What's going wrong, ladies? She cannot have stolen that dress. But paid she has surely not. Someone lent our lovely Lindsay Lohan a dress.

It's common practice. Famous labels or designers giving away their goodies to celebrities for promotion. It's in fact a bit odd, because we cannot assume that she can't afford it, on the contrary.

That leaves me one question: Why would I pay a good deal of money for a dress that someone else is getting for free? It's against any feeling of righteousness that's left in me. Fact is that you're being tricked with your eyes wide open. What's happening is that some famous fashion label or designer says: "Let's give Lindsay Lohan a free dress, there are enough dumb sheep to pay for it". Let's be clear, we cannot go about laughing our asses off because of that stupid tag and buying something from that same label or designer later on. If you want to do that, be sure to inform the shop personell to leave the dress tagged. Ok, that's enough grumbling for now, nothing to get so wound up about.

In a world full of bribes and slush clothing the french designer Christian Louboutin is an Oasis for the down-to-earth. The designer of the most sexy footwear available for a lady's feet, one that counts princesses among his customers, lets nobody be mistaken about it. He doesn't give his shoes away for free, not even to the ever lovely épouse du président (Carla Bruni). If you want Louboutins, you have got to pay for them. If you're not willing to pay, you obviously don't want them bad enough...
