I just remembered something about one of these fashion forums that is really sad...
I think it was maybe around a year ago I was on one of these forums in the Juicy section. There was a women who owned her own business, she was single and had no children and not very many friends. She said she would work until 4/5am in the morning in her office which is at home. And she obviously had lots of money.
She had a personal shopper more or less EVERYWHERE and she was trying to make friends online. The odd person would chat to her but thats it.
One day she came on was showing us all of the Juicy stuff she had just bought that day from her personal shopper thingy, anyway she had spent thousands of pounds in Juicy and posted pictures of everything she had just bought.
A couple of people said "oh ive been searching for that item for a long time do you think you personal shopper could hold it for me?" ... she said yes, and then hundreds of people JUMPED on the thread. It was over 15 pages long of people asking her to buy them stuff through her personal shopper and they would send her the money through Paypal. She wrote a list and went shopping the next day and I bet she spend a heck of a lot of money.
Suddenly these people were her 'friends' ... I just found it really sad that most didnt want to be friends or chat with her until they found out she had a personal shopper at Juicy, they totally used her for it.
I really hope she got the money from them because if not then that just adds to the sadness...
She sounded really lonley and I think she was only doing it so she had someone to talk too.
