OMG, I’m the VP. Half of my clothes arent even dry yet (aka not in my suitcase) and i packed my shoes in my carry on and my suitcase already weighs 47 lbs…

furthermore, if someone were to find my suitcase, i think they would have no idea where i was going, because i have the most ridiculous assortment of stuff packed….

and lastly, i REALLY hope they don’t lose my suitcase because i basically packed EVERYTHING i own.

zOMG, tonight sucks.

I totally brought my closet

one bag weighs 40 pounds without any shoes, makeup, or anything - just clothes. i brought 19,000 sky shirts and they weigh like 1 million pounds each. also, when i land in dubai and we have to go out i will promptly announce i have nothing to wear. my other bag for london/paris i refuse to even weigh. did you know if you bag is over 70 lbs they wont take it? i am f-ed.

we have to fed ex back everything i buy. i want a zebraskin rug and lots of furniture. i wonder if the souks take fed ex account numbers.

i decided dubai is the new punta del este which is the new ibiza which is the new south beach which is the new vegas. thus i packed 1,000 head scarves (pucci, missoni and vera…vintage vera, not wang) and ten thousand and seven pairs of giant sunglasses, mostly chanel.

can i wear that in dubai jail? i am debating bringing my fav diamond earrings. thoughts?

LOLOLOLOL that is hilarious… i am quoting you on facebook.

yes, i think you should bring diamonds.

OMG, rugs from the middle east are amazing… when i got back from egypt, i thought about how much iw anted to go back, mostly to buy more rugs.  you need a zebra skin rug.

ps what is a sky shirt?  they sound like they would be lightweight.  i think i am going to remove some stuff from my suitcase because i am seriously going to be over the limit.  like for realz they are not going to let my bag on the plane.
