Как ВСЕ!

Солнечное и безоблачное воскресение выгнало меня на улицу раньше обычного. Обожаю выходные: народ меняет напыщенные маски на человеческие лица, неудобные костюмы на помятые джинсы, а тяжелые мысли на сладкие мечты. Неизменными остаются только сумочки  «в дамских когтях». Не вооруженным взглядом видать, народ отдает предпочтение  Louis Vuitton.
          Монограммная продукция различных форм и цветов, пестрит и вызываeт легкое головокружение: вот длиноволосый юноша с LV через плечо, очаровательная блондиночка c LV в грациозной кисти, карлик-горбун c LV под мышкой.

Фокусирую взгляд на  низкорослой мексиканочке – мозолистой рукой, из потертой клеенчатой сумки она дастает LV кошелек, вынимая карточку на продукты. Мда. Принцип «Хочу быть как ВСЕ» работает безотказанно! И не играет роли «кем» и «где» сделано, не говоря уже о том: из какого материала изготовлено…

Каждый, опрошенный (выбросим из этого списка голливудских звезд и мексиканских эммигрантов), с пеной у рта, будет утверждать, что его покупка является оригиналом, что у его знакомого есть знакомый, что cуществует волшебный сайт, в общем - ЭТО НЕ ПОДДЕЛКА!

Более всего, обижаются те, кто заплатил за сумку-мечту приличные деньги. Я полностью на вашей стороне, ибо отличить подделку, не зная тонкостей фирмы весьма и ВЕСЬМА сложно. Скажем честно, китайские человечки-роботы творят чудеса и вводят в заблуждение большую половину человечества.
И так, для тех кто желает вложить деньги, а не выбросить их на ветер, похвасться перед подругами, а не опозориться.


Что бы понять популярность, невзрачной на вид сумки, нужно обратиться к… истории.
Не надо нервничать, история не школьная и много времени не займет.

• Louis Vuitton был первым изготовителем дизайнерских сумок, начиная с 19-го века (не будем сейчас говорить о других продуктах фирмы).
• По статистике, LV имеет самое узнаваемое лого. Все гениальное - просто.
• Качество продукции заработано, за счет багажных сумок. С этим тоже не поспоришь, лучшее доказательство прочности - сумка выжила в процессе «из пункта А в пункт Б».
• Не смотря на технологии, багажные сумки и по сегоднешний день делаются в ручную. При изготовлении рамы используется 30-летний тополь, который выдержал 4-х летнию сушку!
• Каждая сумка имеет свой серийный номер. Для удобства клиента делается только один ключ, который подходит к каждой, заказанной вами сумке.
• На изготовление дорожного сундука (как красиво они смотрятся у звезд в аэропорту!) уходит порядка 60-ти часов, на изготовления чемодана – 15 часов.

Теперь задумаемся на минутку: можно ли это все купить за $39.99  на улице у дяди странной наружности? Который, по свой доброте, может еще и кошелек в подарок подсунуть…..
Второй вопрос – а надо ли это все простому смертному? Ибо сумки от LV включают в наследство и передают из поколения в поколение. Подумали? Согласна – чемодан, а тем более дорожный сундук, вряд ли нужен. Но вот сумочку на плечо или хотя бы кошелечек – ну очень хочется! Спорить не буду, что мы зря работаем! А если не зря, то и тратить деньги будем разумно, даже если денюшки не свои, а получены в подарок:

• Для тех, кто пропустил историю, вышесказанную, повторю еще раз: стоить дешево сумка от LV НЕ МОЖЕТ. Отварачиваем свои личики от тех, кто считает нас полными идиотками.
• Все строчки на изделии должны быть  ровными и без изъянов; ибо делали их не в подвале при плохом освещении  и 15-ти часовом рабочем дне.
• Монограммы расположены аккуратно, на одном и том же расcтоянии друг от друга и никогда не разрезаны.
• Продукция выполнена только из хороших материалов и должна быть на ощупь приятной и гладкой.
• LV не имеет магазинов оптовой торговли и ларьков на улице.
• Ярлык никогда не прикрепляется к сумке. Он вкладывается внутрь сумки, вместе с защитным чехлом.
• Используемая  на сумке фурнитура, ни в коем случае не должна быть пластиковой и выкрашенной под золото.
• Если вы не смогли найти, предложенную вам модель на сайте LV – значит это 100% подделка, даже если она и хорошо выполнена.

Ну а теперь, взяв на вооружение советы, отправляемся за покупками. Для обаятельных модниц мы предлагает несколько сайтов, где вы сможете приобрести или одолжить оригинальные сумки от LV или подыскать копию (replica LV) хорошего качества, и не скрывающую своего истинного происхождения:)

Cupcakes and More…

Interesting Fact:

The first mention of the cupcake (also British English: fairy cake) can be traced as far back as 1796. The name "fairy cake" is a fanciful description of its size, which would be appropriate for a party of diminutive fairies to share.

While English fairy cakes vary in size more than American cupcakes, they are traditionally smaller and are rarely topped with elaborate icing.

Cupcakes have become more than a trend over the years; they've become an industry. Cupcakes are nothing shy of a pure, sugary sweet heaven.


One of Our Favorite & Healthy Recipes for Kids and Families from Delish.com - Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream

Ingredients:

• 2 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup(s) cake flour (not self-rising)
• 1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
• 1 teaspoon(s) salt
• 8 ounce(s) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 1/4 cup(s) sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 large egg white
• 1 cup(s) whole milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
• 2 cup(s) finely chopped strawberries
• Small strawberries, for garnish
• Strawberry Buttercream

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
2. Reduce speed to low. Mix milk and vanilla in a bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk mixture and ending with dry ingredients. Stir chopped strawberries into batter. Scrape sides of bowl. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
3. Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks. Once cupcakes are cool, frost tops with Strawberry Buttercream. Frosted cupcakes will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 days. Top with a strawberry just before serving.
