Fashion website crashes....

[boxtops]

why do people do this? The Duchess of Cambridge (aka Kate Middleton) wears a dress to meet Mrs Obama, and the population rush to the website to buy it - why? http://www.catwalkque...ate_middletons_6.html

because...it's fashion, dahlink! some people obviously have no purpose in their lives x

I like the dress she wore but wouldn't want to wear it, everyone would know you had only bought it because Kate had worn it.

If I already had it before she was seen in it I would probably stick it on Ebay.

It's a nice frock but Kate is tall and scrawny, I am small and round. I don't think that it would be 'me'.

Frankie has just arrived - he is advising me that it is time to return to bed. Gotta go ;-)

as lcg76 says, that's what fashion is. Quite a nice dress but, erm, taupe... (isn't that French for 'mole'? The garden sort, not the face sort.)

Why does this not happen when the Princesses of York wear something nice?

[jno]

it does, Gromit

>>>>why do people do this?

Because they are shallow.

The same sort of people who pay £400 for a Gucci handbag or whatever, thinking that somehow it makes them seem more important.

Some of these people need to go and live in a poor African village for 3 months, THEN they might find out what is important, like water, or medicine, or food.

Too right,VHG.

// The same sort of people who pay £400 for a Gucci handbag ............ //

Are you calling me shallow , ducky ?

VHG, I'm guessing that people who buy Gucci handbags have already taken care of food and water. (Or in Berti's case a nice G&T.)
