Thank you Caitlin for recommending this blog, which reviews "Bling Party:" "The real tragedy of the Bling Ring is that these kids sought a kind of salvation through stuff, as if fitting into Paris Hilton’s Louboutins would give them a feeling of belonging. As if carrying Miranda Kerr’s Birkin could dissolve your drug addiction, or bestow any sense of true happiness. "But it’s hardly surprising, is it? This is the story we’re being told. It’s all we ever see, and even the most sane amongst us have lapses. We all try on a pair of shoes and project a kind of fantasy around them; we all have moments where we wonder if owning a more luxurious handbag will make us “better”. "Our rational mind is constantly fighting against advertising which tells us that yes, owning this car will make your life more exciting; wearing this fragrance will mean you never feel lonely again. But the end result, of course, is that owning these things — whether you obtain them through hard work or thievery — doesn’t change your life in any real way."--Gala Darlinggaladarling
