For the Love of Fashion

When Sharon Cuneta’s 3M Hermes bag was featured on SNN some time ago, it was hugely commented as “extravagance” by kibitzers worldwide. Some said Sharon could have donated the money to hungry children instead; others say she was not helping the weak Philippine economy by being lavish. Nonsense! Sharon can’t save our country or the hungry children by not buying Hermes bag alone. She is working (ads, albums, shows, movies, concerts, etc.) thus she is earning thus she has the right to purchase anything she wants and needs. So please, give her a break.

This also goes to Ruffa Gutierrez’s lavish shoe collection which was shown on SNN last night. Before it will create a wildfire on the internet again, I want to say that Ruffa, like Sharon, deserves these indulgences too.

Thanks PEP for the photos. See more of Ruffa's shoe collection here. Related post here.

I support helping the needy and all that, so don't get me wrong -- BUT I also believe in the saying "what you sow is what you reap"...Sharon and Ruffa deserve to buy ridiculously expensive things because they are earning a ridiculously big amount of money! What's wrong is people who actually knock on your front door and when asked what they want; they shove a laminated piece of paper saying they're from a church organization, or from the some NGO group asking for (lemme see what the used terms were..hmmmm...) HELP, SACRIFICE, and DONATION. Now that is pure sin. Indulging on something you can actually afford for me is not something one should be ashamed of.
