It’s a freestanding, slim chest of drawers that some french guy invented to enable his whore to buy more lingerie. It’s pretty ingenious actually. Think "Reciprocation".

and did you say lingerie cabinet?! i have so much, it takes up 2 and half drawers in a large dresser. i had no idea people actually kept that stuff in its own cabinet, hahaha...

Yeah, she's spoiled. She use to work for Vuitton, Gucci, Coach, Movado and Kenneth Cole (when he was good) in upper management and picked up some VERY expensive habits over the past 20 years. She probably has well over 60 Handbags...seriously. I know she has at least 3 Hermes bags that she keeps in the gun safe (yes, we own 6 guns, lol) whenever she sees a new waaay expensive bag, she'll sell off one of the ones she doesn’t use anymore...thank god. We've been out of room in the closet now for 5 years. I keep most of my clothes in the guest room closet now. I can’t stand walking into the Master closet anymore. She keeps it tidy but it still looks like a bag explosion! And don’t get me started on the shoes....holy crap!

It all works out in the end. She gets endless amounts of bags and shoes, I get a endless supply of alcohol and a boat.

Edit: LOL, She calls herself a "Bag Sniper". That woman can tell if a bag is fake from a 1000 feet. Its uncanny. Of course I have no idea whether she's right or wrong but I believe her. I guess it has to do with stiching, patterns (out of symetry?) and other stuff. Who knows? I get a kick out of it. A chick could be standing nekkid in front of us and she would say "Fake bag!" before she would say to me "quit looking at her other fake bags!" lol.

I really want a couple of those jackets they had at the Soul Revolver link. Unholy Goalie, thanks for the link. I would really prefer to try a jacket on though. Last thing I want is to buy a jacket I love and not have it fit correctly.

As for a wallet, I have a Ben Sherman leather card holder/money clip. LOVE it ! Its held up pretty well (4+ years) and keeps me from pulling a George Costanza. I keep only a couple of cards, ID and my Qdoba card.

definitely sounds like something a french guy (with a whore/mistress) would come up with.

i'm jealous of her previous job then.
i, too, can spot a fake from 1000 ft. haha. i've joked about it in home ice before in the jersey threads. i can pretty much spot a fake handbag like some of those guys can spot a fake jersey. for me, it has to do with the quality of leather used, the color of the logos, the hardware... i can tell the subtle and sometimes not so subtle differences.

Why is it that whenever I see Nocturn's Avatar, I can't help and hear, "This is the way step inside!"

Oh, yeah, not to get off topic, I love watches, collecting them and what have. To some guys, lol, watches are what shoes are to women.

This is my latest acquisition. I love "novelty" watches too!

I've never gotten bitten by the watch collecting bug. Actually, quite the opposite - when my last watch finally stopped working I just stopped wearing one altogether. It was quite liberating.

I've always had a soft spot for chukka boots. Just got a nice pair of JD Fisk's similar to these:

Speaking of a Chukkas and Uber-Comfort, man I should add to my Creeper collection...but I hate how friggn large the soles have gotten on them. I mean...THESE are a thing of BEAUTY:


...and these:


Not these:


...or these:


no, no, NO!

I'll have to ask my wife what LV and "Hairs-uh-mess" (as my 10 year old daughter put it) bags she has Lunch. I have zero clue. I know one of the Hermes is a screaming bright pink one that is ugly as hell. Croc skin maybe? Dunno, I'll ask.

With you on this. Plus everyone has the time on their cellphone.
Don't really like wearing anything on my hands/wrists.
