On Gilmore Girls Logan the Rich Boyfriend bought Rory a 'Birkin Bag'. She didn't know what it was, and I didn't either. Apparently it's a big status symbol thing. And my Googling brought up some results that tell me the thing costs at least $300.

I don't get that. Maybe because I can't even fathom having $300 to throw away on something that is simply a place to put my keys, wallet and cell phone, but the bag isn't even that great. It's a literal handbag, no shoulder strap, which I have always found to be inconvient.

So I guess that's its point. It says 'Look at me! I'm so rich I can drop hundreds of dollars on an accessory, and I don't have to bother myself with trivial details like carrying grocery bags, so I don't have to keep both my hands free.'

Or something. I don't know. It's early.

Thanks! I'm surprised at how quickly and easily people connect these seemingly-random quotes with the show. I got 'em from [livejournal.com profile] minervacat; she has lots more!
