Chanel or Faux Chanel


Each year my dear Claudia spends a few weeks in the beginning of December in New York. Her daughter, Jennifer, is the meeting/party planner for Pizza Hut Corp. and is always on the go, out of town. Each December, they have a big Board of Directors meeting in New York. Jennifer got it cleared with her boss, that as long as Claudia and her sister Carla pay their own travel to get there expenses, and spending money, they get to go and stay and are even allowed to participate in the Wife Events, like, bus trips and shopping trips by guides.
A couple years ago, they got the nerve up to visit the underground. They walk, but the vendors will take you there by van, they just don't trust that, and I don't blame them.
It is where they get fake watches, purses, scarves (when I got Chanel, Carol got Louis Vuitton), pretty much anything you could want.
It is a trip they look forward to each year. They get to see a show, stay at a 5 star hotel, and shop till they drop! And pay $25 for a coffee and muffin for breakfast.
I think it is worth the trade off.
