Misleading Merchant

Buying designer bags can always be looked at from different angles. On the one hand, certain people fancy bags and can spend so much on one or two. This action satisfies a higher form of need. On the other hand, people buy high-end bags as an investment. In fact, several business articles in international newspapers have reported that high-end bags are good investments.

Local celebrities are no different when it comes to purchasing high-end brands. Owning a branded bag can elevate one’s status and owners can even have bragging rights for purchasing unique and expensive bags. Female Celebrity (FC) was among those people who bought designer bags with their hard-earned money. At that time, FC had many projects and endorsements, which enabled her to buy bags that she fancied. However, months have passed since FC was given an income-sustaining project. Now, she needed to increase her personal funds to support her lifestyle and family. She decided to dispose a few of her designer bags. She approached her closest friends and gave them first choices. Subsequently, she requested her buyers not to tell others from whom they had bought the stuff. The request would save FC from embarrassment, as other people might poke fun about her lack of finances.

One of FC’s buyers was Younger Star (YS), who obviously has more money these days than FC. FC convinced YS to buy a Branded Bag (BB) for half the six-digit price she paid for it. Naive and trusting, YS bought BB at the agreed price. Later on, YS was with A Stylist (AS), who immediately noticed BB. AS said to YS that she ought to return BB, as it was not an original, but a well-made replica. YS was shocked that FC could fool her. Instead of making a scene with FC, YS opted to keep quiet, as things were bound to be awkward if she confronts FC about BB. When FC again approached YS for another product, YS said she was not interested and gave as an excuse that she was saving her money for a family home.

Well, given the predicament, YS could not help but wonder if FC had been duped into buying replicas being passed as originals or if FC knows her bags are replicas and yet continues to market them as originals.

Shocking Conversation

During the taping of a series, the production staff observed that Lead Actor (LA) was not in his element. After many years of doing various roles in movies and television projects, LA honed his acting skills and even garnered praises for his improvement. This time, LA could only deliver an average performance, which was missing the emotional grit that could further strengthen his character. Lucky for LA, his co-actors were there for him to make sure the scenes would not be flat. Such could not go on, as LA needed to deliver.

That day, the scenes to be taped required high emotions and therefore, the production staff was concerned over LA, given that he was not giving the depth the challenging scenes needed. While on break, LA left the set. Taking the break as cue, One Head (OH) decided to look for LA so they can rehearse a crucial scene.

OH moved from room to room and as he was about to check one door, he overheard LA talking to someone over the phone. LA sounded angry and the conversation, at least on his end, was intense. The tone sounded like LA was fuming at the other person and LA was calling it quits (‘We are done, bro. Don’t you ever try to call me again. It’s over, bro.’) Hearing the word “bro” made OH curious and he continued eavesdropping. The next set of words shocked him. This time, LA was accusing the other person as a liar and something graver than lying (‘You lied to me! You did not tell me you were sick! You infected me!’).

The word ‘infected’ rang in the ears of OH. OH, however, was clueless as to what that alleged infection might be referring to, but nonetheless, LA caught it. OH then feared for the intimate scenes LA was supposed to have with an actress, which were later discarded after OH overheard LA.

After a few minutes, LA returned to the set, shaking. He seemed distraught and angry. OH made him relax prior to the take. As soon as the cameras rolled, OH was amused as LA delivered the appropriate emotions and he only needed one take. As OH did not want to pry into LA’s business, the identity of ‘Bro’ lingers in his head.  

‘There is a shock that comes so quickly and strikes so deep that the blow is internalised even before then skin feels it. The strike must first reach bone marrow, then ascend slowly to the brain where the slowpoke intellect records the deed.’― Maya Angelou
