What a waste of money.
She should have spent it on vodka, heroin, and a sex change, like a normal celebrity kid.

Didn’t the libs say it is OK to burn the US Flag - as long as you purchased it and could show ownership?

So what is up with getting shortsinawaditis over a purse?

I never knew alligators bags were that big.

I wouldn’t mind having a pair of their shoes though.

Imagine what it must be like having your 82 year old father come to your high school graduation.

She should have burnt a flag. Then she would have been a hero to all the leftards.

However they will no doubt try to pass a Bag Burning Amendment or some such that makes it illegal for the rich to dispose of their own property as they see fit.

Way better than not having a father at all.

It must be nice if he’s Clint Eastwood.

That’s exactly how she got started many moons ago. At the swap meets (aka
flea markets) in LA.

She didn’t start hitting the hard stuff until after her mom gave her a Marc Jacobs
for her birthday.

Now she needs a 12 step program. And don’t get me started about shoes...

She probably got more than $100,000 worth of publicity out of it, which was the only point anyway.

I’d be willing to bet a week’s pay that they probably did pick up a $10 knockoff at the flea market for this little project. It’s only video, after all. And the evidence is destroyed by the process. No harm, no foul.

That $100K could have fed a few starving peasants for years.

It's not like she destoyed something productive worth $100,000 such as a piece of constuction equipment. She destroyed $20 of leather with $99,980 of celebrity ego added to it.

Exactly. The only reason the handbag was supposedly worth $100,000 is because of the “designer” label attached to it. Sure the craftsmanship, if any and the hand stitching if any, might make it somewhat more valuable than a very similar looking leather handbag, just as nicely crafted that I might buy for the fraction of that price at Target or DSW, and BTW similarly produced in some third world country by someone making about a $1 a day in wages whether they are making a Hermes handbag or one I could buy for $30 bucks at Target. I’ve bought lots of very nice handbags at Target and DSW and Kohls that are just as nice looking, fashionable and just as functional as any of those overpriced designer handbags.

The real fool is the person who would pay $100,000 for a piece of leather crafted into a bag with a fancy label on it made by the very same people and means as the $30 handbag that I can buy at a fraction of that cost, just to hold their stuff.

Taking a gators shoes away from them can be kind of dangerous, but give me your shoe size and I’ll see what I can do.

Indeed, they look like the kid who is bored with his toy and then gets a bigger toy only to get just as bored, but still clenching at them.

They have salt but lost the taste of saltiness.

God blesses the wise and persecuted with connected taste buds passions that are matched with the tasty food He hands over.

All this money to naught, they revert to drugs and confusion, living entirely tasteless lives.

I think you meant "for a couple years."
