The NY Times reported today that New York City shut down 32 vendors of counterfeit luxury goods yesterday as part of a Bloomberg initiative to curtail this sleazy business. They seized over a million dollars worth of fake Prada bags, Rolex watches, Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, etc. Yay! I am really sick of seeing every loser on the street with a [fake] Louis Vuitton bag. Sorry if that seems snobby, but I don't buy fake things... I save my money and buy the real thing. How could one ever feel good about carrying a fake bag? I just don't understand. Luxury items can be had by anyone these days... it just takes some of us longer to be able to buy them, and maybe we buy less. But that's what makes these things special.
