Teapot By Gucci

I often wonder why so many designers spend countless millions advertising their fashion clothing lines in such subliminal ways. Peddling Teapots for 4 thousand bucks and throw pillows for a thousand a piece.

I wandered into Versace on 5th Avenue after seing a few very nice pillows in the window. I wasnt really shopping at the time. Certainly I wasnt shopping for pillows. They just caught my eye..

Like the time I glanced into the windows at this downtown store. They had artifacts from Bali. Very nice. I wasnt shopping for handcarved artifacts. I dropped inside though. I walked out with two long leather coats though. I didnt even know it was a coat store until I was in the door.

But At Versace it was different... I wandered past the display of pillows fit for King Louis throne and off to the menswear department.

I never buy clothes anymore. I can never decide what I like best. I need a personal shopper to buy me some stuff.

I did however see several fanciful mens shirts. A man came over and asked if he could show me a chemise. I told him I would rather just stand here and look at the shirts.

He said it was my lucky day...
He said they were on sale today...

Shirts By Gianni Versace

Happy Days... A Sale At Versace...

So many nice shirts to buy. How could I decide. I asked the price and was told they cost only Six today. At Six Dollars each I thought I would buy ten of them all in different colors all for just SIXTY DOLLARS.

I looked at the sales staff...And I mentioned that six dollars was cheap... these shirts looked to me like twenty dollar shirts.

They told me I misunderstood... I was advised that the shirts were on sale for Six Hundred Dollars each...

I knew they looked good I said !!!

I left abruptly. I was scared. I was in the wrong store. I was looking for a six dollar shirt in the PALACE of his ROYAL MAJESTY the OPPULENT LORD GIANNI VERSACE....

I went home.

And here for you is a photo of a MILLION DOLLAR MODEL® on a SIXTY DOLLAR TEAPOT. It started out that night as a fashion shoot. Though several shots later it turned into a bit of aTEA PARTY.

The kettle is not for sale but you can book the model
for about the same price as a Gianni Versace Shirt.
