Label Ho

Taking logo mania to the extreme.

I saw this picture and just had to share.

OMG! Louis Vuitton Car! by [the]tiMe thatYOU{danced}wiTH me featuring Louis Vuitton

I have to admit, it’s kind of cute.  Not something that I would ever pay for, or take the time to do myself, but pink LV logos decorating the interior of a car is kind of fun (although very, very tacky). 

 

Logos are all well and good.  I like Louis Vuitton as much as the next person.  I have experienced the quality first hand and have to admit, their bags are truly durable, unlike many bags I have purchased (including Gucci).  I’m not always crazy about their designs (think neon roses and logos), but I am kind of loyal to the brand now that I’ve had my Deauville for 5 years.  I figured out the cost per wear, and because I’ve had it for 5 years, it’s down to about 2 cents per wear.  I have definitely gotten my money’s worth, and it’s still as elegant as the day I bought it.  You can’t say that about many trendy little handbags.  Plus, it reminds me of J Lo. 

 

I love the bags, I like the shoes although I don’t own any, and I like the clothes.  I’m not exactly in the market for LV clothing, though, if you know what I mean.  But that’s about as far as my loyalty goes.  What I mean is, I would never do this to my house:

And I would also never do this:

At first, I thought those tattoos were real, but it turns out they were temporary for a runway show.  Okay, I understand.  But this gentleman did not go the temporary route.

Here’s another car just for fun:

Mamma mia, girls, you look pretty ridiculous.  But Louis Vuitton is not the only logo that has been used to vulgarize perfectly good luxury cars.   Check out the Burberry Maserati.  I feel sorry for this car because it used to look good…

Oh, the humanity! 

Dear readers, would you cover your car or your body in logos?  Why do I think the answer will be NO?  And what is your feeling about logos in general?  Too ostentatious?  Tacky?  Or do you like quality and interpret the logo as a representation of that quality?  Personally, I don’t mind logos at all if they are subtle.  And I have to admit, there is a part of me that wants the world to know that my bag was very expensive.  I’m not sure what that says about me… shallow, materialistic, I’m not sure.  But I paid a lot of money for the darn thing so forgive me.  What about you?
