** The picture is tiny and I am too lazy to throw it onto Flickr, but it’s a mens’ hobo from Fendi that is marked down from 1610 to 399.**
It does not surprise me in the least that this Fendi bag is marked down by over 75%. What self respecting up-right pisser would buy a hobo? I can understand dudes buying the tote, or maybe some murse (European carry all for the Seinfeld fans) to carry your Ipod, PDA, and whatever piece of shit you thought you couldn’t live without on that lonely day in front of the computer.
But, a HOBO, a fuckin’ HOBO. I can see the Fendi round table where this bag was first conceived now:
Hot Female Assistant Designer: I love the new Prada hobos. We need to do something like THAT.
Fuschia Hot Pant Wearing Gay Intern: Oh, yeah, I need something that would accommodate all my cucumbers, lube, and butt plugs.
Gay Designer 1: You’re a fag!
Gay Designer 2: I think Delicious Ferrari is onto something. A hobo would be perfect, but make it masculine.
Fuschia Hot Pant Wearing Gay Intern (Delicious Ferrari): Oh yes, more man. Add studs, and maybe a wolf howling at the moon, but make the moon bright pink, and oh yeah, a place to put my collar.
Gay Designer 2: More along the lines of simple black, and our logo.
Asian Accountant: This will never sell. Expect to mark it down 60% in the third quarter.
Everyone Else: You say that about every product.
Ok that’s all I got. Let’s hope that this was a poorly designed women’s product that was mistakenly named as a men’s product by the good folks at Barney’s.
