Michael Kors purse for $50?
Is this a real purse? I looked at it in pacific mall in scarbough and it even has the gold medallion thing that comes with the purse and it looks pretty legit. The lettering even looks exact too, is this a real or fake purse? I don't wanna lose 50$ on a fake purse lol
Are Michael Kors watches made with real gold? What are some ways to spot a fake?
Michael Kors markets cheap fashion watches made under license by Fossil. There is no economic payoff in counterfeiting a watch that retails for $150-$350. If you buy a Michael Kors watch you have purchased a cheap watch. A fake one would be no different. As for gold? No.

Why do some people pay $40,000 for a watch? I'm trying to understand the psychology behind Rolex's business model.
Adam, The psychology is very simple: people who buy Rolex watches are not buying an accessory that tells the time. $5 digital watches as you say are more accurate timepieces.No, they are buying status.You see, all of us humans don't make rational decisions. We buy based on our emotions, and then justify our decisions rationally.If we purchased things rationally, no one would buy high-calorie sodas, use drugs, or buy fashion brands that are functionally the same as a practical brand.We buy most products because of how they make us feel. Buying a Rolex makes many of us feel special, successful, and powerful. Buying a Rolex is a social sign that you have achieved success, that you are wealthy and that you now belong to an exclusive club.It's the same reason why women around the world pay $500 for a Michael Kors handbag made of PVC plastic. Or why we buy $40,000 cars when a $10,000 used car would get us to work and back efficiently. Or why we pay $3.50 for a Starbucks cup of coffee.BTW - you can buy a brand new Rolex for around $8,000 and the average household income in the US is $53,657. A professional salesperson, to use an example of a profession which usually likes to use status, who could make $60,000 per year, might very well be able to invest $8,000 in a status symbol that gives him confidence and allows him to close more business. The psychological increase in motivation and confidence, plus the increased social acceptance could produce a 15% increase in success in his profession, which would pay for the cost of the watch.
How has your relationship with femininity changed throughout your life?
The way femininity is presented to kids is interesting.As a little kid, I was at once very acquainted with two different ideas. The concept of “girl power” was one. The other was the concept that femininity was weak or undesirable in some way. The first of these sentiments was overt, the second more subconscious.My idea of female strength was somewhat tied to girls being… not… masculine, but certainly not traditionally feminine. When I thought of a woman being brave or tough, I imagined her rejecting more “feminine��� activities like sewing or knitting, dresses, and other traditionally feminine things.Not that there’s anything wrong with a woman doing any of these things- it’s her choice, and she can do whatever she wants. But rejecting femininity is hardly the only way to be strong.I went through a phase in 4th-6th grade where my feelings made themselves apparent. I was never unfeminine, per se- I have never been a tomboy- but I did scoff at things that I found unworthy of my attention. These things happened to be things that I associated with being “girly”. I decided I didn’t like the color pink (which had long been my favorite color), dresses, boybands, or anything similar.This went on for a few years. I would refuse to wear anything pink, rhapsodize about how annoying dresses were, and make terrible jokes about how dumb One Direction’s name was. (“What direction are they even going?? I hope it’s DOWN!!! Ha ha ha! I’m 12 and hilarious!!")Eventually, I grew out of it, and thank God. I like pink! It’s a nice color. Dresses and skirts are fun and cute! Boybands… Well, I don’t listen to their music, but I’m not mad about them.Am I the girliest person I know? No. I probably never will be. But I consider myself feminine, and I like it.People can be strong and girly- there’s nothing about the two things that’s mutually exclusive.
