As someone in the marketing industry, it only reaffirmed by admiration of the teams responsible for creating so much demand, although I don't personally purchase luxury items beyond the $200 purse splurge. I am a cheapo, and I don't actually want to wear the same shoes/clothes for 15 years so I don't think my cost per wear would be worth it.<br /><br />I thought the bit about the Japanese tourists in Hawaii was amusing, though.
