Hermes Raising Their Own Crocodiles
French Luxury "Gods" Hermes has resorted to breeding its own crocodiles on farms in Australia to try to meet demand for its leather bags. Customers sometimes have to wait several years for certain exotic-skin bags, which can be priced well over $50,000. It takes about three to four crocodiles to make one Birkin bag, so they are now breeding their own crocodiles. Customers are placed on waiting lists for years for these super-crafted, uber-priced investment pieces. The demand is too much of a challenge. I saw a feature on one of those discover, educational channels where one bag can take a week to make. Everything is hand crafted; from the actual cutting of the skins, to stitching, to hardware; and it's very tedious and nerve-wracking. Each worker, and it looked as if there were only a few in this gorgeous craft-shop, takes pride and care in their work and they wear white gloves when touching the finished product. The goal of Hermes is to produce around 3,000 crocodile bags a year. So as you can see, this is quite a demand for such an impeccable company; without losing the quality and craftsmanship in each item. On these Hermes crocodile farms, the crocs are kept apart in separate rooms to protect their skins from bites. (Wow, that's deep, for them only to be cut-up later...)
Let me know what you think of this story... How do you feel about the breeding of crocs just to make luxury bags? Do you think if Hermes hired and trained more workers, the demand would be met, the prices would go down, and the quality would get lost in the shuffle??? Hit me up and let me know how you feel??

But always remember, ladies, just because it's available to buy, doesn't mean buy it. What I'm trying to say is, some items are a bit too trendy and it appears they are trying to pacify the volumtuos dolls with items that are available similar to the regular size line. Keep in mind your own individual body build and taste. Less is always more. When in doubt, go without...
More Louboutins...(ON SALE!!!!!!!!!)
Unforgiveable!!!
Okay, this has got to be against one of the Ten Commandments: to be blessed with two feet that God gave you, and not take care of them...All of those that are guilty better "get right" or it's comin' to ya!LOL.... Okay, people, I know it's summer time, and there are plenty of you out there that like to wear flip-flops, open toe-pumps, and strappy sandals. First rule: get a pedicure. Helloooo!!! Second rule: maintain the pedicure year round. I've actually heard some women say that they don't get pedicures in the winter because they aren't showing their feet. hahahha. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. But lastly, wear shoes of quality and proper fit. This helps not to damage your precious walkers...
Ladies(and gentlemen), even if you aren't wearing a foot revealing shoe, it is imperative that you take care of your feet. For health reasons, a pedicure helps stimulate good blood circulation; which keeps your toenails from turning colors. For vanity reasons, it just looks good and you'll feel better when you have to take off your shoes around your mate. (So I guess those non-pedicure winter people keep their boots on in bed (well, come to think of it, that's kind of hottt, but that's another story.LOL)... Anyway, back to the lecture; an easy at home treatment is available to keep those feet nice and soft year round: Mary Kay Satin Hands Set-$30.00 (Click here to buy.)This set will cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize in between your pedicure sessions. And it's also great for the body. Ladies, you can use this set on your fella too. He'll love you on your knees rubbing his legs and feet(but he has to return the favor).. Okay, I'll stop with the innuendos.
Just know that your $2.00 flip-flops will look like a million bucks when your feet are nice, smooth, and clean. (I'll talk about the $2 flip-flops next go round. That's another pet pieve I have.)
Happy Shopping!
