Greed Is Bad

marshoes

In Style magazine takes us into star closets in their latest issue. Inside the palatial walk-ins, it's an age-old contradiction: such full wardrobes and such empty people.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler laughs that, until she paid to have her closet organized, she would often come across clothes she forgot she had. "With the tags still on them!" she howls. Mariah Carey boasts of owning over 1,000 pairs of shoes, many of which go unused in storage. Kimora Lee Simmons has 500 pairs of jeans in her 49,000-square-foot home.

Even though it is inanely sized, Mariah Carey's shoe collection could only outfit one percent of the homeless schoolchildren in California.

    Dirty bastards. I'm apalled and think they should each give half their shoes to the needy. I consider my feet needy.

    Those homeless schoolchildren would look so fierce in some gold pumps.

    But don't give them a golden purse. That's just too matchy, matchy. Life is hard without looking like just shopped in Mariah Carey's closet.

    That Kimora person NEEDS 500+ pairs of jeans, having vacillated between pre/post-op transsexuality and a hugely fluctuating weight.

    Honestly now! With styles changing, and his/her weight and hormones surging, and not knowing whether to tuck it or wrap?!

    Bitch, please.

    Sorry, but I've found clothes I forgotten about, with tags on them, too. Unfortunately, they're usually lame items from Wal-Mart that I intended to return, but are now past the 90 day period. Stuff like too-tight shorts and aqua tank tops that have no place in this world, much less on me.

    Good point Martha, Kimora's baby phat causes all sorts of jeans problems, I'm sure.

    I'd love to see how these women got along in the world if they had to live like your average American household. None of them would know what to do. No drivers, maids, chefs…just themselves and those bratty kids of Kimora. They'd all be dead in a week.

    Seriously… who needs 500 pairs of jeans? That means she goes almost two years without having to wash any. Does that mean she only has her laundry done every two years? Eww.

    First, I no longer feel bad about 30 pairs of jeans in my closet. Especially since my ass goes from a size 4 to an 11 depending on how "good" I'm being.

    Second, I used to have a friend that would buy new clothes and throw out the old (dirty) ones and repeat. Her parents were loaded. Bitch. I'm not bitter or anything.

    Third, yes I am.

    OMG, just this week I told my husband I was going to turn a room in our apartment into a fierce walk in closet. Unfortunately, he didn't like the idea of sleeping in my giant closet and we only have a one bedroom. Le sigh, I would have loved to showcase my oh so fabulous TARGET wardrobe.

    I think the girl on the bottom is Tommy Hilfiger's daughter

    There's a dirty joke in that statement, but I'm not going there.
