    All the stuff you mentioned can be easily avoided, its people like you who drive prices up, give yourself a clap

    I'm not saying it can't however if I'm at a gig is it too much to ask for some tap water? I don't drive any price up, it's the greedy pr'cks providing the service.

    Do you sit at home refusing to spend money on anything but food and board?

    Mmmm not really einstein. Plus that other Laura was a make up artist I'm an image consultant.

    That Laura says she is a "Fashion and Image Consultant also Majoring in Make Up Artistry and Hairdressing"

    I think you should send her contact her, maybe you could even go into business together?

    I work purely on my own in business its the best way to be. Sure you like have to take the knocks but when the good times come it makes it all worth while. if you believe in yourself you don't need anybody else. Positive thoughts X

    If some moron stood on my Choo I would go totally Ballistic. But i try look after them really really well. Once in Bondi when I was younger (i'm over bondi now along with the rest of the world) I broke the heel off one and I was so depressed for like a full week. So now I am so careful with them. They're like my little babies.

    So: No man who isn't a screaming queen can tell the difference between a €500 pair of shoes and Penneys. And those that can don't deserve to be men...

    And pretty much any car is cheap compared to a Bugatti Veyron, doens't make them in any way acceptably priced.

    And those shoes look like something a skanger girl wears for her communion.

    Ironically, Laura Appleby's profile says, and I quote.

    "I heart Karl Marx"

    You do know that, that's not the name of a fashion designer? Don't you?

    Yeah Their Hideous but to be honest I'd just be thankful that a skanger was actually wearing shoes. I thought their ick trainers were surgicaly attached to their ick feet

    But if everyone was rich then it would turn the economic system on its head, plus the plebs would all be able to afford Jimmy Choos thereby destroying their position as an elitist status symbol.

    Laura if you ever come to a boards get together I will be thoroughly disappointed if you are not decked out in fine clothes. However I doubt you will. I have high hopes for you, leading us into web 2.0 in style

    Not at all, thats why you spend 500 a pop on shoes. Rather than 100 on a pair of adequate footwear and maybe donate 400 to the starving children!

    Be fair now, she does give her support to sweat shops in Asia, thereby keeping those kids in employment so they can work 16 hours for a bowl of rice.

    I'd well believe it but you'll have to bling up if Laura goes to a boards beers.

    Ah I knew I recognised you from somewhere! Although I wasn't a student I attended plenty of classes during your time in the school!! :D

    OMG Johnnie quit with the starving children already! I don't have any children and If i did I assure you they would not starve (nor would they be obese like all the poor butter balls I see around dublin) As I have already stated starving children are politicians problem unfortunately obese ones are more frequently becoming my own personal visual problem

    WOW you guys are like the most self righteous people ever. I am not the only consumer on the planet. And as Karl Marx states change can only come about by means of a proletarian revolution so whether I buy clothes made in asia or not it won't make a damn bit of difference in the long run.

    In fairness, she's already told us how much effort she puts into getting dressed up for a normal run of the mill day, never mind coming to a boards function so we can see if she lives up to her self engineered hype. That would take years!

    Sorry but you brought it back up, as I have said before you have no problem with kids working in sweatshops as long as you get what you want out of it, i.e. more money from a client.
    Yet you think the starving children should only be a politicians problem??
    Get with the programme, thats what has these kids in their current situation, people that have the money that can help them passing the blame to someone else!!
