Henry and I both laughed out loud at this.
Ohhhh HELL! Ahaha.
funny, true….but what luxirare does it amazing. plus i think she is allowed to post masses of photos since she posts once in a blue moon.
nothin’ wrong with masses of photos
they, like you, like us, are allowed to post whatever they damn well please! it’s the beauty of bloggin’.
” S M O K E ” hahahhaha
You guys are toolboxes. When you can create something as great as luxirare or take the time to not be dipshits, then you can parody her work. Jealousy is so hot right now, get off her jock and worry about yourselves.
Hahaha you’re right treasure chest, even cult leaders deserve some admiration! Imitation, after all, is the highest form of flattery.
If you’re worried about us worrying about ourselves – don’t be, you can rest assured that we spend MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME handling and working towards our own ventures. There is no point in existing anywhere (in this case, Blog World) if you have no right to comment on, or express your opinion or thoughts about your surroundings. It’s our (and every other blogger’s) right, NO – more like DUTY – to write about the shit that affects us, and not only in a positive way. If you don’t, you’re simply irrelevant. We’re not hiding behind an anonymous alias (cough) and are willing to stand firmly on our feet behind anything we post, and take full responsibility for it. There is obviously a reason for this post that goes beyond us being dipshits, or we wouldn’t have bothered posting it.
Also, since you brought it up, please explain the ‘jealousy’ part?
oh man this is so funny but I bet some people will take it the wrong way
oh i do ache for this girls.. i was on luxi’s page and i saw this little slab of text
(in regards to online store)
“Another thing I wanted to note was the price range. You’ll see items priced from $45 to $2000. I didn’t want to have this “set” standard of pricing. For most of us, price has nothing to do with luxury or what it means when something is truly luxurious. I have written about this before in my manifesto. ”
hmm.. more like nadia and cami dedicated a post to the meaning of luxury and i decided to make it out as if i care about the scale of costing and i want to reiterate that I WAS the first one to write about luxury in MY manifesto. (how margiela!)
luxi is incredibly talented and meticulous BUT (this is no way out of spite) the jacket she made for susie bubble was totally inspired by thierry mugler’s flesh tone piercing dress (conceringly so..?)
apologies in advance if my comment seems venemous or bitter.
love ya work though!
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR! I love y’all so much!
Humor is so RARE! in fashion!
mmmmm! refreshing!
xoLIZ
just… better? x
geniusssssssss!
Do you guys really not like her THAT much. I lheart you guys I’m just wondering why? Other than the reasons I can draw from your post :)
The photos are a parody! We don’t dislike her for posting large amounts of similar pictures (we do it too!), or for taking very stylized images or anything like that! In fact her dedication is admirable. The reason this post came about was because there has been a long chain of incidents that have made us rather curious about her reasoning/integrity, one’s that have confused us greatly. Being blocked from her blog long ago was the first and many other things have happened since that have furthered our distaste for what she stands for. It is a shame, as there are parts of what she does that we do appreciate.
Love the tongue in cheek vibe of this, nice one for giving me a chuckle
I peek into Luxirare land once in a while, not for the aesthetic choices she makes, but for the opulence of her world.
One reason I do not take more of an interest is how serious it all is taken there, by Luxirare and her fans.
Have you checked James Lillis, creator of Black Milk? He is super talented, funny and clever. I check his blog regular because he always makes me chuckle and has beautifully constructed legwear. I feel like a Sci-Fi bad ass when I don his clothes, which to me, is living the dream.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
So cheeky. Hilarious.
This made me laugh quite a bit!
TOO GOOD.
I’m not gonna lie. At first, I didn’t damn well get it, but afterwards I kept on laughing. And I’m still laughing. My mom thinks I’m nuts.
“S M O K E.” More like, (INSERT FOG MACHINE) ;)
hahah you are brilliant.. i am still laughing haahaa
Haha, fucking rad! I especially love the DI$COUNT gin.
Hahahahaha, You girls are awesome. I don’t understand where someone has so much time OR money on their hands to want to decorate SO MANY inanimate objects. I’d hate to see what her tampon packets look like!
I screeched like a bloody harpie! I probably looked like one too … I’m glad the mirror’s behind me, instead of in front, because… I probably looked like a harpie too. Honest to goodness, everyone’s version of a celebrity differs, but you guys are my own celebrities and the fact that one of you likes my shit makes me *insert harpie screech here* DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!
I stalk you guys constantly, so like … *sobs* it means a lot. I love you CAMI & NADIA ! Keep doing what you do. I probably won’t be able to afford your clothing when it comes out, but I can always admire and wish like hell when you get things going.
xox
A true fangirl
This is friggin hilarious and it’d be a real shame for it to be interepreted in any other way. I love that you guys can be passionate about fashion (ie. have a sincere treatise about the concept of luxury in fashion) and yet also see the lighter side of it at the same time. Keep up the good work.
He he he! Glad to see the shoe is on the other foot! (excuse the pun) I wonder what would happen if you parody back the things a certain someone has “appropriated” from Discount…… maybe you should do a Discount 3rd round rip? You would certainly have your work cut out for you!
ha ha ha….. LOVE IT!
Now, that was not so difficult…. Mockery or admiration, who cares if it’s funny ! Even the bare word “branding” makes me giggle…
Agree and agree. Humour is the spice of life, and in my opinion – a little piss take never hurt anyone. Especially one with reason.
HAHAHAHA!!! call it luxicount. Id love to divulge some unflattering information on her, but feel this is inappropriate as i am sworn to secrecy. But keep on trucking!!! ps love a bit of logomania. its in my Russian genes. xxx
This is so balls-out of you. Fucking love it. Very funny and very refreshing. xx
@Vlad please do divulge
This is hilarious and your humour is another reason why Discount is a must. Everytime I see Luxi’s “brand” I just feel like giving her a pat on the back for understanding how to use a printer.
And to the haters, Luxi may be talented but she is completely unoriginal and a massive intellectual property theft. She has little knowledge of design and fashion concepts, history and philosophy. Glad to see her taken down a notch, but I’m pretty sure it won’t stop her own narcissistic self worship.
HAHAHAHAHA
I love you guys.
Wait- you were fucking BLOCKED from her blog? Are you serious? Care to divulge more info.?
GENIUS. Through and through.
He he he. x
Okay this is just a thing of beauty lmao.
I have to agree, her whole reactionary luxury manifesto, overly serious attitude, and the borderline worship she receives by her commenters is kinda turning me off from reading her blog (even though I do love the cooking post). And it doesn’t help that shes charging like 70 bucks for foxtails (which you can get from Ebay or any good anime/manga convention for like 10 bucks). I don’t know, something just seems a bit fake about her in my opinion.
This is a brilliant parody and very valid – I don’t understand why some people aren’t getting it; maybe they eat truffles for dinner too. It never occurred to me that you guys as DI$COUNT are almost the antithesis of Luxirare… in name at least.
Oh god.. too funny!!!! What an amazing pisstake.
so this post may have something to do with you guys being blocked by her? just curious. i love both of your blogs… i just think you guys spared quite some times to make all these pictures, must have another reason beneath plain humorous jokes. well, or not. just imho. :)
I assure you it will become clear soon. Surprisingly, this post was a rather quick one to get up! (after all, the photos are not particularly well photoshopped haha!) But yes, there is reasoning behind it, not simply a low blow for the sake of humour.
Although I do admit, sometime I do like humour for the fuck of it :) though not when it is directed towards someones practice. Thanks for the comment Nana!!
I vote Vlad to blab!
You wish yallz was just like LUXIRARE!
haha ok, I kid. This is hilarious and I am sure the owner of Luxirare finds it funny. I can’t wait to read these comments.
Hahaha! Godammit yes! Bring on more Blogwars! Call out people who irritate you! Mock them! Be fearless, speak your mind, point out hypocrisy, tell cunts that they’re cunts, make fun of pretentiousness, EVEN MAKE FUN OF TAVI if you want to!
I support you one billions per cent. xoxo
I was sitting in a cafe sipping my chai latte when I checked my phone and spotted your post I spat my latte all over my kids. too funny.
Um, this pretty much had the opposite effect on me… I’d never heardddd of this luxirare biatch prior to your juvenile sling-off, but I just spent 2hrs browsing her archives. I respect your ability to take the piss, but she is fucking talented.
Our intention wasn’t to make you dislike the luxirare brand, it was simply to make you look closely at the intentions/integrity behind it and form your own opinions. And in some way or another, you have obviously done this. Glad you got something out of our post!
Ahahahahahhahaahahaha nice homage.
She blocked you? Have you girls been naughty little commenters?? Hehehehe
I love that you girls don’t take it so seriously, inspite if your own immense dedication and creative talent.
very brave, and hilarious. good stuff!
She blocked you? Nadia, you were her fangirl from the very beginning! You got me onto her blog, you guys were like buds. I recall she may have even posted about you? Cant wait to hear what happened.
DON’T BEGIN A SENTENCE WITH “UM” FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ktr!
it’s funny when people get mad about stuff like this…. i thought the gold of blogging was freedom…
Dude- it’s fucking true. That shit is BRANDED.
Oh God THIS IS BLOODY BRILLIANT. Sorry for the allcaps, but it had to be said. I’ve been blogging on and off for three years now, and over the last year or so it’s been impossible not to make the observation that many of the bloggers the mainstream media pays attention to tend to be (despite all that guff about the “democratisation” of fashion), very rich, very thin+pretty, or very young.
I don’t hold that against the bloggers , but the way people go on about them, it’s like high school all over again- the popular girls getting treated with extra deference, and no one being ‘allowed’ to express criticism. Thank you for breaking out of that, and for a hilarious post- I appreciate Luxirare’s meticulously-made things and pretty photographs, but after reading this, I think the girl needs to get herself a sense of humour. Heck, even Tavi once posted saying no one got to hear about all the shows where she got not-so-great seats (following the head-bow kerfuffle), and all I could think was, child, you’re bloody THIRTEEN. Be grateful they even let you in the building at all!
Bloody Brilliant! So funny!!
Brilliant! A fantastic parody. Thanks to Sister Wolf for directing me to your site.
Let me know when you need that “smoke” machine again!
Fuck this is funny. I bet you died laughing putting this post together. Interesting that you have been blocked… especially after you were ‘blog buds’ prolly had something to do with cami’s leather moulded corset look alike?
hahaha I don’t know how to mould leather actually… but I would love to learn!!! My collection was made from thermoplastic medical sheeting – like the stuff they apply when you break your arm. Gosh, I wish it was leather, it would have been a hell of a lot easier to get my hands on!!! Probably would have looked better too.
And yes, we did take these photos when slightly inebriated, laughing our asses off. Thanks for the comment x
Haha I loved it. I have to confess a dislike of Luxirare – I find it all pretentious and on my slow internet connection it takes way too long to load the almost identical photos!
I always thought it was leather! Also can I just say that anyone with half a brain can draw insipration from an existing design, change it a little and get a factory in china to make it for you. It’s called a fuckin buyer with a rich dad.
Hahaha, this is cute! Cheeky, well-done parody is refreshing, really. Fashion blogging has gotten way too cult-y and most of the bloggers have crazy inflated egos nowadays. Y’all, on the other hand, keep it real.
LOLL luxirare
Is it too late to comment? This is really fun! I can’t understand why Luxirare can’t enjoy some fun…..whomever is behind it. The Luxirare blogger seems to have resources beyond the average blogger’s reach. Certainly, the blog leans toward the pretentious and as such, lacking in humor. Why don’t you
do another one? A fashion parody of LR?
