The job numbers are in for August and our magical number is big fat zero. Nada. The U.S. created no jobs for last month, leaving the unemployment rate at 9.1%, which is probably a very idealistic count to begin with. Nevertheless, there’s no need to lose our optimistic frivolities. Can’t we handle ourselves with the aplomb of an entertainer, while dealing with zero job growth?
Notice the redundancy in the press when verbalising the term optimism, no matter how rapidly the stock market drops.
What is there to be so cheerful about in such a dreary economy? Number one and foremost is the no-wait list for The Birkin bag. Forgive me, it’s not a bag it’s a Birkin. Yes, you read it correctly, the waiting list on Hermès Birkin bags is over. Go to the Hermes page and find out more about the company, if you’re interested that is.
Birkin bags are professionally handmade in France. They come in a wide range of colors and skins, with the option to add various embellishments. Hermès even offers to restore heavily used bags to their original condition.
It’s a paradox that even fiction writers would hardly be able to comprehend. The dire situation is total lampoonery in its finest hour. While several countries around the globe are on the brink of near collapse, it’s not a problem if you’re selling a handbag that costs anywhere from $5,000 to $150,000. Isn’t this mind-boggling to say the least?
Yet, exclusivity can carry too much baggage for some.
While the Birkin bag is the epitome of luxury, many are happy to opt for popular and practical handbags, such as the eBags Piazza Day Bag Chili – Tote.
For many people, an exclusive, luxury item such as this is totally incomprehensible. In an economic hurricane that is pounding the shores of reality, the Birkin bag is rare as the crocodile itself.
