Gasp - LV stuff which I think is ok (until I see the price tag)

Today is a red letter day. Mark it down as it is the one and only entry in four months which CO actually talked about a LV product which I think looks decent and maybe, just maybe, is worth buying for guys. Maybe. Read CO's review below and make your own decision. Introducing . . . .

THE LV Geometrique Cufflinks. These cufflinks come straight from the Spring/Summer collection of 2006 and is basically a large V with strips (Seriously, what other words do you expect from LV?).

Here is the objective analysis : It doesn't look as gay as the rest of LV products for men.

Here is the emotional analysis : It is a good talking point. Dimwits will walk up to you and say"Hey, what does the V in your cufflinks say?" You can either answer (a) "I am a secret member of the Da Vinci Order for lost dumbasses" and ask him to say the password to confuse him; or (b) "Cos I am smooth as Velvet (yeah right)" and try to use it as a pick up line at Velvet.

But here is the all important cost-benefit analysis : It still costs a whopping US$355 for a pair of cufflinks which, although doesn't look so gay, still make you look like a dumbass with too much money to spend. US$355 for a pair of metal clips to fasten your shirt cuff? Please. Stop trying to insult my intelligence and manhood. I have more respect for men who stapled their shirt cuff together than those pretentious slobs who walk around with a LV cufflink.

Conclusion : One thing for sure, V doesn't stand for Value for Money. Unless I see the same cufflinks at Bangkok's Chathuchak market going at 100 baht (US$4), you won't see me wearing this shit. Pass.

Stop piracy! No fakes...

For 355USD, you can't even buy a LV wallet.

Piracy rules! I laughed everytime I see a Lao person with an obviously fake Murakami bag. The day of LV going bankrupt due to piracy is approaching.

Huh? You actually saw a murakami in Laos?

Carrying a fake and not knowing it is a fke. I bet these people never see the real.
