You are more charitable than I, because he doesn’t strike me as someone who reads, period :p

Yes, that threw me for a loop too. A film about the fashion industry set in.... LA?

I watched a couple episodes of Californiacation, which I regret, and at one point some book publisher is referring to the main character’s manuscript as “the sexiest thing written since Lolita.”

I kinda want to be a teenage girl but only because I figure that would mean I understand what Snapchat is.

I’m sorry is he... is he implying that maybe Lolita is the “demon” in that story because men = dumb and women = sophisticated? What the actual fuck.

IF the bag is in as close to perfect out-of-the-box condition has possible. IF you know who to sell it through: Ebay, you’ll get all the money but all the risk, any other resale company, you’ll get 50-70% of the final selling price, which won’t necessarily be the same as whatever Chanel retail is quoting.

I collect designer bags of this kind. I buy one model per year, only a model from permanent collections, and treat them like babies.
