Well, strip me, paint me pink, and cry me a river to wash it all off. I just came across an interesting article that says that attendees to this year's Fashion Week in Los Angeles were really disappointed by the gift bags. "Whereas seasons past have seen hair styling lotion, bottles of liquor, cosmetics, gift certificates," this year people complained about the silk pillow from Bebe, fig-flavored vodka and bright blue eye shadow. Are the people serious?

Now, I'm not saying bright blue eyeshadow is a choice item, but it's called a gift bag for a reason. It's a gift! First of all, I believe there is a saying that my Daddy taught me when I was really little: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Secondly, I roll my eyes at the fact that these people have just come to expect a gift. They don't have to give you anything at all. Sure, it might hurt the designer when a buyer gets doggie hairspray and decides not to pick up the collection for her store next Spring, but still, the designers don't have to do it. And finally, not everyone gets one, so only if you happen to be one of the lucky few who get to sit in the front row, do you get one.

But if you continue to read the article, you will find that in many cases, the sucky gift bag was the victim of the designers' spending more on gifts and swag for choice celebrities. Luxury spa visits and a Blackberry?!?! I hate hearing about this because celebrities are the last people on earth who need to be gifted with these things.
