Expensive women's shoes crack me up. A friend got me into a private Armani sale recently.
I bought the misus a pair of $900 heels for $250. And I'll bet they're still making a giant profit even at the heavily discounted price.

It's just like those Louis V handbags. Outrageously over-priced and it's not even real leather!
It's plastic... These fancy brand people are taking folks for a ride worse than Porsche!
This is why precious stones and metals are always the better option.

Are you a member of the big jewelry forum? If you have an unheated, untreated Padparadscha sapphire (I sure don't) then I'm impressed.

Not at retail prices in the US.

You can fly to Belgium and buy from the diamond exchange there and save so much money it will pay for your flight and a short vacation in Europe.

How impressed would your Girlfriend be if you took her for a 3 day trip to Belgium to pick out the diamond for her engagement ring, all the while knowing that your being cheap and saving money.

Sounds like a "Johnny Danger" move to me
Except for the implications of just one girl for life issue.

We all already have 1 mistress (Boxser) though that is usually accepted into our existing relationships and even welcomed in many cases.
