The eyes of the world have been on American presidential election, but the eyes of the fashion conscious can't help but focus sharply on the fake Louis Vuitton purse that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin purchased for her daughter. International attention is never a bad thing in business, and we have certainly seen a surge in demand for designer replica handbags, and the theory around the office is that it might have something to do with the sheer amount of press time these items are getting.
   
Some have called it a scandal, claiming Palin overspent on an original, but insiders know that, in fact, little Piper Palin is slinging around one of her designer replica handbags.

It's a changing world we live in, and attention is turning to our economy. While not necessarily a great candidate for a nod on her responsible spending during the campaign, Palin has nevertheless made a significant gesture towards the affordability of replica handbags. Maybe not Joe the Plumber's look, but what about his girlfriend, Tina the Administrative Assistant?

And, because we can only dwell on the nitty-gritty intersections of fashion and the recent campaign for the presidency for so long, let's turn to the ever-notorious Lindsay Lohan. In fact, let's move away from politics all together and get a glimpse into what is going on in Hollywood. The paparazzi have snapped a front page shot of Miss Lohan and her girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson, exiting an airport carrying matching luggage. While we know they weren't toting fake Louis Vuitton, those of us not living in Los Angeles can lean back on a decent repertoire of designer replica handbags and still keep on top of the trend. Who knows, fame, fortune, and of course, a little frisson of scandal, might not be far behind.
