What's the craziest thing you've done in the name of fashion?

^Same.

I don't know, I haven't clubbed anyone or stolen anything but I definitely "hide" stuff I want and can't get at the moment. A really good place to hide stuff was in those round ring clothing racks. I would hang or put the clothing I wanted to "hide" from other customers in the middle of it until I came back to buy it.

Once, at Century21 in Manhattan, I saw 2 tourists get into a fight (with punching!!) at noon over a rack of clothing. That was crazy.

Well, the craziest thing I remember was when I was to a christmas Partyand I used dress like a woman, and i looked really hot, sexy and fragile at the same time, well and when I was ready to the party I was waiting for a taxiand suddenly I made a little jump and my beautiful Ninna Ricci white fragil sandal broke down, well a strip broke down, and I was too late, and I couldnt back home...so I found a piece of oxidized wire in the street and I wrapped my sandal with it, very gross!, but it worked and I danced all the nigh with that mend... and nobody noticed it...

I paid $24 for Dior Blackout Mascara.

My friend and Mom both said, "I buy mine at Wal-Mart for $3 and no one can tell the difference."

I bought it because I wanted the people at the counter to know I could afford it.

 

[Petit Lucille]

noo.. why?? don't give a sh-- about what people think, and you'll live happier!
were they any special for you to care about their thoughts?

 

[papa_levante]

They made my lashes longer, but I honestly didn't see any other difference. I thought my eye lashes would be photoshopped fancy, but they still reminded me of tarantula legs.

Oh, is that crazy? Me too.

PS I can definitely tell the difference with Blackout--it's 3x as hard to take off as anything else Can't wait to replace it with something else.

 

[daniellat]

haha, lol at tarantula legs!

Really? It came off quite easily with Dove Soap which is the soap I'll use to remove make-up since it's mild.

My brother did something crazy for fashion ( which is why he's my favorite) We were in NYC and were shopping and he saw these shoes he loved at Barney's but for some reason decided not to get them. Then he spent the rest of the day talking about them and decided he did want them, but we didnt have enough time that day to get them. we were to fly out the next day so he had our driver park on the street in front of the store (not really legal) until the store opened, he scooped up the shoes, and we barely made our flight. Although while I was waiting for him I did see Al Sharpton walking down the street!

Well recently I participated in a design contest for free (they were soooo expensive) classes at the school at this summer. it was kinda crazy because I have never sketched in my life, and i only had one week to come up with five sketches and an essay, and some recomendations. I had a TON of homework that week and between teaching myself how to sketch and maintaining my straight A's, I nearly ripped my hair out each evening. Sure enough i got it done and they didnt look that bad. Then i had to hand deliver them in order to make the deadline. I got lost but still showed up, designs in hand and gave them to the woman at the front desk. Only to not be one of the winners. I dont even want to be a designer but i just thought it would be so cool to win a summer session at this design school.

Oh yeah, and another time, I stood in the rain for hours in order to deliver the first Boston Street style pics to TFS. I looked kinda like a phyco but it was fun!

In addition to these fumbles I've been known to live in the mall without a dollar to my name, helping my best friend shop and styling looks for her. I've also been mistaken as an employee at these stores on several different occasions. I guess you can't just walk into the women's dressing room?

All for the sake of fashion baby!B)

No, not so crazy. Only when I have rent/so many bills to pay, it's kind of crazy..for me.
I think we've all done this, though!

mine is actually related to the fashion industry:
while i was interning at a high end fashion house for market week, i got completely food poisoned. i had been working crazy hours like for maybe 10 hours straight. that night i was throwing up for all night and had maybe two hours of sleep.
the next day i came in just to possibly anna wintour, she did in fact come in but i wasn't even allowed to see her!!!!

papa_levante, you should try lancome mascara, they make your eyelashes look soo long!, dear you should not care what sales associate thinks because i have worked in retail before and, honestly they just want your commission. they won't even remember you unless you're a regular. but, when it comes to make up you really pay for the quality. drugstore make up isn't as effective, or lasts as long.
