I live in the Mission District of San Francisco where there is a great concentration of fleabag hotels. I’ve never stayed in one, but I’ve imagined them in my mind as I walk by them in the morning on my way to the subway. The rooms, I’d imagined, were filled with threadbare furniture and stains of all sorts. I also imagined smack in the middle of the room a bed that looks somewhat like this bag from Chanel: a dirty, ragged, unshapely mess resembling a rectangle. Let’s not lie, though. There is something about the rawness of it all that gives me an instant erection. This bag is a mixture of prostitution, dirty sex, and a rainy night on a streetcorner mixed with just a hint of Hampton shabby chic.

I think its a disgrace to Chanel, it tacky, and tarty, and not at all chic, it is hobo, and if there might be something attractive about it, it would be that “hobo” is for some odd Mary Kate Olsen-esque reason trendy. However, the essence of Chanel is independantly chic, at all times. I am insulted as a lover of the art that WAS Chanel.
