Well, if you're worth over, say, $500 million, and your house(s) and car(s) are paid for, and you just earned a cool $150 million from last week's IPO....
The question is.... ...why not? Seriously, 9'er..... why the fuck not?

Your eyes are beautiful, Fly. Drosophila, on the other hand, has some nasty eyes.

WHY?....okay, I've got this one
....because my 2004 Victoria Secret Fantasy Bra cost me 10 million and at 3 million for the 2009 version, what girl can pass up a bargain like that??? I wonder if they take returns? And what girl wouldn't give anything to shimmer between the sheets? 10 million dollar Victoria Secret Fantasy Bra 2004:

Look at it this way.
1) Borrow a stack of diamonds from DeBeers. 2) Fake up a bra 3) Take pictures and get everyone talking about a product that doesn't exist 4) ????? 5) Profit Lots of people who wouldn't normally give a shit are now aware of VS and their high end values, so the brand becomes more aspirational.
