Oh Mon Dieu Birkins! OMG They're Everywhere!













OH MY GOD! Birkins are everyyyyywhere here, e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e! I love this bag, i love it! i love it! i love it! ..but carrying my 35cm togo made me feel like it was one of those bags you often get as an extra when you buy a 100ml perfume bottle lol -- Nonetheless, that hasn't stopped me from elbowing mine, ..I just love it waaaaay too much ^.^ except for the part where I saw this lady carrying a red, red RED crocodile birkin right before my eyes! First there was this pause in my heart beats {i'm not kidding lol} & then my eyes resembled flash bulbs sparkling with hearts, ..& then I was overcome by a strong, strrrrooooongggg urge to camouflage myself into the table where that croco beauty was resting. It was gorgeous! ..no, no.. that doesn't do it just, ..it was STUNNING!

My second favorite birkin so far is my friend's tan ostrich avec a hermés fionka scarf, it suits her.. & so do her other 12 Togos & 3 Crocos {yes *tears in my eyes* three crocos and a dozen Togos lol! Third favorite? a gorgeous fuschia ostrich beauty, i didn't think it suited the lady carrying it, perhaps because the color was too young & vibrant for the age/style she was dressed, but nonetheless.. it was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

For those of you who are not as aware as one should be about the Hermés Birkin, here's a little I got from wikipedia:
- "In 1981 Birkin was traveling on an airplane seated next to the President of Hermès when she spilled the contents of her handbag. When the President of Hermès noticed, he offered to create a bag named after her, a first for the company since Grace Kelly. She sketched her ideal bag, thus providing the model for what became known as the Birkin"

- "In pop culture, the Birkin has become a symbol of ultimate luxury, ....In Paris it has been associated with, among others, so-called BCBG (bon chic bon genre) women. In recent years the bag has featured prominently on popular television shows such as Sex and the City, Gilmore Girls, and Will & Grace. In the final season of The Sopranos, Dr. Melfi carried a Birkin bag into her own therapy session."
