it's a sad thing to be jealous of 13-yr-olds
I just ran across this article from November '05 that analyzes the business of luxury goods for teenagers. Teens and young people now make up a significant portion of the high-end market. I'm not surprised that 10% of the women who buy Coach bags are 18-24 years old, but the anecdotes from teenagers in the article drive me crazy. I can't believe I still get jealous of girls who get Prada bags for their 13th birthday parties. I try to be morally outraged, but then I realize that I can see myself buying expensive things for my own kids someday ...

I read this story and I threw up a little in my mouth; it was a mixture of envy and disgust.
