Calling all fashion divas! Stop what you're doing and make plans to visit my place this Saturday! Get your greedy little hands on the best designer crap this side of the Mississippi!
Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Coach, Armani, Chanel, Louis Vuitton… You've heard them all! Toss away your old crap, come and buy mine before I go broke!
Here is your chance to own your very own designer wardrobe and I'm not talking those ghastly knock offs either… you know the kind, right? The purse strap falls off, the lining comes loose, and then you're left in the middle of New York City hauling this piece of crap around, grumbling to your friends about how stupid you were to buy the damn thing in the first place! You've burned a hole in your pocket just buying a ridiculous knock off that you THOUGHT was real until you got home and realized the Prada emblem is upside down, and you've just spent 50 bucks on a cheap imitation that wouldn't even pass for a decent plastic bag! How embarrassing!
Today is your lucky day! For one day only, I am selling off all my authentic purses, watches, dresses, and other various articles from your favorite designers! I wouldn't normally do this but as it turns out, I don't have a choice!
It's either the clothes go or I do, and personally I'm rather fond of having a roof over my head. I can't help that I'd rather spend my afternoon shopping on 5 th avenue instead of paying my rent.
My idiotic roommate can't handle living with the ultimate designer comforts. He says I'm a hoarder who can't pay her bills, but I'll be dammed if I'm going to walk around in cheap, gaudy clothes. I'd rather die than face that embarrassment. He has absolutely no sense of fashion whatsoever, strolling around in his Lee jeans and those repulsive Hanes t-shirts he's so fond of. He would make a perfect target for those 'What not to wear' people, but I think they'd take one look at him and walk the other way. As far as style goes, he's a lost cause. He's even beyond my help, and I could help even the most pitiful cases!
So for one day only, I open my doors to the public. Rifle through my closets, get your hands in my drawers, do whatever you need to in order to clear some of this crap out of here!
Don't let him put me on the streets all because I'm a fashion diva! Come on ladies…do the right thing here! Save a life, buy some clothes! I'm desperate, and there's nothing more dangerous than a desperate woman with an overdue credit card bill! I'll ever sweeten the deal with a little personal instruction from myself if that's what it will take!
Don't miss your opportunity to look as good as I do! Come buy my shit! You know you want to.
