I am not kidding.

‘Tis the season for unsolicited mail, and my yearly Barney’s catalog arrived today.

(If you have to ask if I actually buy things from Barney’s, this must be your first time to the blog. I think Target is highway robbery.)

This year’s theme is eco-friendly hippie (which is of course why they’re sending out expensive paper catalogs to people who can’t afford anything), but it means that I got to flip through it and laugh at all the over-size “organic’ sweaters you can just pick up from Goodwill for ten bucks, or buy at Barney’s for $1,695.

But there’s a point where you stop laughing, and that point was page 13.

We’re looking at the necklace on the left. Check out the copy:

That’s $588,235.

And it’s not on the site any more, as someone purchased it already. HAHAHAHAHA for fuck’s sake.
