Gucci "Hysteria"

Gucci HYSTERIA COLLECTION, hysteria bag in python (actual snake) $4,590

I noticed the price, $4,590 for something to hold money. Personally, I'd spend $90 and stuff the bag with my $4,500 savings. But there's no explaining i) the female brain (buying a product named after "hystera," Greek for uterus) or ii) people with more money than brains.


Based on the following definition of "hysteria," the name makes perfect sense:

1. Behavior exhibiting excessive or
uncontrollable emotion, such as fear or panic.

2. A mental disorder characterized by
emotional excitability and sometimes by amnesia
or a physical deficit, such as paralysis,
or a sensory deficit, without an organic cause
.


I'm introducing my own line of handbags, the "Dementia Collection," a cheap plastic or paper knockoff with prices starting at $10,000. Customers will most likely forget their purchase, thus necessitating additional purchases.

The only question is: paper or plastic?

Reminds me of the new drug "Ginko-Viagra" that Pfizer introduced for people who can't remember what the f#ck they just did.
