Harmless??? Hardly....

Ok, so I know that I'm not the only one in the world who has a love for reading...and LOVES fashion magazines...ELLE, VOUGE, W...just to name a few. Now sometimes I admit that I do purchase them just to be up-to-date on whats hot right now...to get a glimpse of vintage fashion...and to read the article about the cover story if it it's someone that interest me. So I pick up Harper's Bazaar January issue with the lovely Victoria Beckham on it..(been following this chick since the Spice Girls, lol) and I wanted to know what s new with her fashion line...but then I stumbled upon a section in their Luxury Report about fakes......Counterfeit Fakes to be exact..u know..the ones who make fake Gucci this and fake Louis Vuitton that. & while sometimes it seems "harmless" to purchase one.....it's sooooooooo much more complicated than that.

Basically I had no idea that behind a majority of it that there was human trafficking, terrorism & child labour going on. I mean seriously they have kids who are like 6 & 7 sewing a hand bag or making a watch or a shoe for someone to sell for like $40 on the street....and the people that are forcing the kids to do this are monsters! In one country a man who was in charge of the kids had the nerve to break the kids legs..tie the bones together in an awkward position so the bone wouldnt heal properly...just because the kids wanted to go outside to play...WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?????

My daughter is 5...and I would KILL someone with my bare hands if I knew someone was doing that to her.

Basically...we all like to have nice things...I know I do, but in honesty if you want something that nice....WORK & SAVE FOR IT. Shit, I think u would feel alot better knowing it was legit and that someone wasn't getting beaten or killed over it.
