i just saw these photos and read that louis vuitton is now the "world's most counterfeited fashion brand", and i had to chuckle....when i was a senior in high school, louis wallets and purses started creeping up in st. george. we were strangely fascinated by them, and when i was a senior and we went to tijuana on our senior class trip (high class--that's how we rolled in stg.) we wanted ONE thing, and one thing only: fake louis purses.
i bought a purse and a wallet from a mexican woman who assured me that the 40 dollars i was paying was for "the real thing--NOT a knock-off!!" i knew that was a straight up lie but didn't care because HELLO 20 DOLLARS and invested in some sweet faux-happiness.
my friend kris anne and i even took photos of ourselves with nicole carter's mom's REAL louis purse--we were so lame, but easily impressed like all 18 year olds:
i will spend some fairly unhealthy money on a pair of jeans right now but i refuse to pay a lot of money for a purse. good thing i'm happy with a cheap fake.

Just thought that quote applied...
Ok, I'm leaving this site now, thanks!
You were hot. I never knew anyone in real life that could get their hair that big. You make me proud.
I wish stretch pants would come back.
Hey Vanessa... stretch pants are back. I was looking at my new issue of Lucky Mag last night and they have shiny faux leather stretch pants EVERYWHERE. I must dash right out and get some...
And as for the LV knock off's... How did you get a picture of my scooter?!? That shizz is real!
Love the mall hair, it was as big as I used to wear mine! You are a fashion diva, don't ever forget that!
Love the hair. We called it the West Side Wave.
I too own a Louis. I bought it second hand, and I hardly ever use it anymore, but whatever. I only wish I looked as good as you did.
Hey, you were totally in style! I remember the days of the higher the better, the more you could tease your hair days and the leggings or even stirrup pants remember those, with the big long baggy sweater! WE were in fashion. I know because I LIVED for fashion.
Those pics are classic! Check out that computer in the back ground...I love the 80's!
No wonder Russ could not resist your lovin! I think that is better than the Mrs. BonJovi do from yesterday.
Do those stretch pants have stirups? Those were my faves! My "flouie" (fake louie) was purchased on ebay thank you very much :)

I spit on Louis Vuitton!
I love the hair because I had the same do! Gotta love Betty's REAL louis! Nic was the luckiest girl in the world- her mom had the read thing... Viv didn't even know what the heck it was and when I wanted one... she laughed at me! Really and truly laughed.
One word... HOT
You had the biggest hair I have ever seen!!
