Like most love affairs it started off passionately, stolen glances, long lustful looks…I confess mostly on my part – I was only 12. The object of my desire didn’t even know I existed but I didn’t care. Like all unrequited lovers part of the agony was the rapture. I was in love and nothing was going to deter me from my pursuit. I would engineer chance meetings. Communication was unnecessary. I was happy to just stand and stare in wonderment. This went on for some time but my love never wavered. Throughout my teens I would carry Louis’ picture in my purse and would spend countless hours lying on my bed day dreaming of our ‘togetherness’. Life with Louis meant mystery, glamour, sophistication…luxury travel to far flung continents – all the things I wanted my life to be.
FINALLY..at the age of 19 I DID IT!!!..
I was staring in lustful wonderment and Louis was saying ‘take me home, take me home”. So handsome, sooo stylish, how could I resist? I couldn’t! So I stepped daintily into the flag ship store and bought my first Louis VUITTON bag. It was also the moment I received my first love note. The sales girl handed me a peite envelope and nestled inside was a crisply folded receipt…I have been smitten ever since…a lifelong love affair receiving countless love letters and notes in the form of beautiful bound brochures of the latest collections, special invitations to pre sale sales, cocktail parties, events…
O gosh! I was about to say whao! HPA teenage " I have a crush on a boy" story...bum! It was a bag not a boy...what? Oh! What a shame....
ReplyDeleteAs good as Lol!...you'd be surprised at the intensity we women have for bags...If you're not married or even if you are ...read and learn...
ReplyDeleteps thx for commenting my first, you will always be be remembered fondly...
Some of us wish to have a very flexible affair with louis too. Please do let us know once things start taking shape. Meeting him halfway say twice or thrice yearly is a fair deal, methinks. I hope the prices will be affordable for those of us who are buying it on our own...*sobs*....Thanks a lot, aunty HPA!
