But Python Is So Summer!

Adia sent me a link to the totally affordable* Kate Spade Arabella Maya, made of … python.

It definitely wins best disclaimer award in the realm of purses:
“please note: due to state law, california residents are unable to order items made with python.”

I love my state full of animal rights activists.

*For those who don’t understand sarcasm (which apparently constitutes a lot of people on the Internet), “totally affordable” in the above reference is A JOKE. I would not spend $1,495 on a purse. I do not buy designer purses everyday. Maybe every month**. Go away. Please stop sending me hate mail about my fucking budget. As the comments on that post indicate, this is actually what Manhattan costs. I am not making this up. Someone be my boyfriend and buy me dinner. Oh god, I’m going to starve.

**In total seriousness, I really only splurge when I land a decent freelance assignment and I never blow my entire paycheck. The largest amount I’ve spent in one outing this semester was $400 and this is because a completely incompetent Kate Spade clerk overcharged me. Then Bank of America/my mother/the useless piece of plastic in my wallet got all pissy on my ass.
