dilemma again
"Guest Art Director Marc Jacobs teamed up with photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott on the newest installment of the coveted fashion quarterly, Visionaire, which comes housed this time in a limited-edition Louis Vuitton case designed by Jacobs. Alas and Piggott photographed a series of intimate portraits of today's most inspiring contemporary icons, traveling to New York, London and Paris in search of their personal muses. Subjects include actors Drew Barrymore, Scarlett Johansson and Selma Blair; singers Jennifer Lopez and Lil' Kim; models Gisele Bundchen, Stephanie Seymour and Christy Turlington; New York City Ballet principle dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied; and fashion designers Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney, to name a few."

there's a copy reserved for me, due to be shipped out on oct 1 but it got delayed and they are now asking if i still want it. retails for usd375, and previous back issues sell for usd5000 on visionaire's site and usd1000 on ebay and amazon. is there really a market for visionaire? i initially bought it as i thought it was a nice keepsake. limited to 4000 copies worldwide.
i have up to oct 25th to reply.
yeah or nay??

i don't think i would pay the price if it wasn't housed in the nice cover
so i am essentially paying for the cover which is odd as i don't buy into
vuitton stuff as it is expensive yet common and their customer service
is appalling.
so i think i shouldn't. there are still people living in poverty
and this seemed obscene
but i like obscenity.
