Marketing triumps..How Did They Ever Sell This??

@mhendo

I wonder if the OP is ever going to return and explain his hypocrisy regarding fashion clothing?

Why return and explain when you can repeat yourself? Seems, too, that Mr. Armani has a Svengali-like hold on his mind.

Diamonds: Synthetics may be just as nice, but try getting engaged with one. Your choices are to hand your girlfriend the ring with “and I got a deal on it because its synthetic” (to which she hears “I don’t love you enough to buy you a real diamond.”) Or you can hope she never finds out, because when she does she will think you lied to her and bought her a fake diamond and passed it off as real. Real diamonds will always be real diamonds. Synthetics will always be “fake.” Although I like a bargain, I really hope these diamonds I’m wearing in my ears are “real” or Brainiac4 will be in deep doo doo if I ever find out otherwise. Fake diamonds are too much like infidelity, in some strange way.
