Now if we’re in a recession, can folks afford to be spending their dough on these frivolous things?

This Obama 08 Love Tote Bag ($75) was specially made by designer Diane Von Furstenberg, and is now available at Barack Obama’s official online store…

_____________________________________________________

Hold up! Barack has his own store? Whoa. LMAO

lol @ #1..I can’t afford that real Gucci bag. However, a boot-leg version…hummm..Oh, Beyonce and her mama made a T-shirt for Obama & it does not have any gold sequins on it..lol

Where can I get the expression on Andre Leon Talley’s face? That would go great with this new cardigan I just bought.

$75 for a tote..shit..i can buy me a regular khaki tote from bed bath and beyond for $5 and write the exact same thing. In fact, my handwriting would be neater..and for #3, im sure its just a site that sells obama gear such as the shirts u see all the celebs wearing..i doubt barack has a store..

o, and dawn’s shoes are hot..as far as dawn herself..not really..

Take ur Ass to the Swapmeet for them CASSIE JUMPOFFZ!!!!!

question do they have swapmeets in New York??

#5 he does have a special Store on his web-site selling designer stuff..All kinds of designers/rappers made t-shirts selling for around $75..Jay Z, Pharell, Juicy Couture and some other designers..They got totes, scarves, and shawls..Obama is about Getting His Money.!!!

Go to Barack Obama . com

lol @ CAFF

Tianna thanks — do u work in the fash industry, cuz ur good

obama store wowzerz back

Damn, Cassie’s earrings are $500……Geez

Lol @ #1 you aint never lied.

I agree #1.

LMFAO @ Caff. That face is FIERCEEEEEE

LMAO @ Caff

man them shoes dawn got on are ugly and that gucci bag is ugly too yall just callin it cute cuz its gucci
ima need for these celebs to get new stylists on the double, i dress myself better than there stylists dress them and they suppose to be “professional”

Im all down for Obama!!! But I dont necessarily like the fact that items with his name on it are becoming the “IT” fashion. Obama is more than just the flavor of the month!

Obama ‘08

I am assuming the proceeds from the tote bag go to the Obama Campaign, so thats a good thing. But why are these people bother asking. Like they say if you have to ask where it is or how much it cost you probably can’t afford it.

Dawn betta not mess up them sandles cause we know she has to return them. There is no way someone in Danity Kane can afford to buy designer shoes.

I can’t afford any of those things……..
I have to pay for some GUCCI GAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROTFLMAO @ CAFF!! Thats what’s up!

I love the DvF bag too, but I better not see a straight man rockin’ one…

I don’t know about Andre Talley carring this bag - something about a man carrying a tote just doesn’t sit right with me.

$499 for Cassie’s earrings??? OMG! I know a lot of chicks will be hittin’ up Maxie’s to buy the knock off for $.99 cents.

$446.25 for Dawn’s shoes??? I better get some licky-licky with that and a whole bunch more!

@ Beauty QT I agree mit is somethin not natural about that

* with

@ DAME, you wanna know what REALLY cracks me up??? When people say - “OMG, so-in-so’s _____ is hot! Where can I get one!!!”, knowing damn well that they CAN’T afford it anyway!!! lol. Just keeping it real!

They should really be saying “OMG, so-in-so’s _____ is hot! Where can I get THE KNOCK OFF VERSION?” lol. Hell, that’s what I really want to know!

@ Beauty QT

LMAOOOOOO Shit I can’t afford it and I am a single girl with no kids. I am not balling like that yet!!!!!

andre needs his ass beat for that one lololol …. i do like the bag tho for my nana’s birthday….lolo

ROTHFLMBAO # 24 that is so true ….

1. The Obama bag looks cheap and crappy as hell. It looks like a bag that I see everyone walking around the grocery store with.

2. Ciara’s bag is all types of hideous. I wouldn’t take that trash if someone handed it to me. BTW: Her arms are disgusting.

3. Cassie’s earings aren’t that bad but they look kind of ghetto though.

4. Dawn’s shoes are fuckin herrendous. They have that old lady feel to them.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s necessary for Obama to be on every Got Damn item in these stores. It kind of seems like y’all are praising him. IDK, to me it is over done and not necessary but you all can do as you please. It is a turning point in American that a black man might be president but all this is not needed. It was fine when one or two things had Obama markings but having him on a damn eyeglass case is rediculous.

@29,

You’re PMS’sing.

Every single last one of these items is ugly and overpriced.

And stop with the glorification of Obama already. This man has yet to address the black community outside of the church setting, is basically for infanticide and is already back-pedaling on many of his campaign promises. McCain is no better but at least he’s not being treated like the second-coming.

I am so over this election.

Oh thank u CL I’m ready to purchase a Obama Tote I really like it alot. Which mean no eating out on friday night for 2 weeks, oh well its worth it.

@30,i respect your opinion but Barack being nominated for president is really something big to most black people…….thats just an inspiration to so many people in our generation…i dont see anything wrong with it,just showing support….
people go and pay unecessary amounts for things just because it has the LV or the Gucci name/symbol on it yet its negative because its Barack….

well said #32….If old man mcshame can have merchandise bearing his old behind, why can’t obama get his shine. Hell, you can still but merchandise with all the other candidates on it on the internet. Democraticstuff.com has all of them.

Either way, I don’t see anything wrong with showing support for Barack.

buy

Oh yeah, I like looking at the latest fashion and what not, but my behind is saving my funds for gas, food, and everything else bush f**ked up. Ya’ll argee i know

It’s nice to look at, but me no can buy.

Lmao @ Cassies earrings being $499….That’s the price they give ppl who don’t know any better, you can get those hood earrings cheaper(and yes they will be official, girl…haha)

I feel ya Beauty Q.T.

But just like how everyone is not rich….everyone is not broke also!

thanks for the post. the history and fashion posts r my favorite. and dawn’s shoes i think solange was also wearing them at one of her concerts. i love the obama bag.

Vote BARACK!!!!
GO Diana Von Furstenberg!!!!
