Well played, Andy Spade


Speaking of pretension, your humbler chronicler loves dada-esque gestures. Had you noticed? So, and as I type I realize I will be hitting new heights of twee dilettantism (yet type I must!), I was reading a book about Richard Prince and featured therein was an interview with Andy "Mr Kate" Spade, who is apparently a Richard Prince champion. ANYway, in the course of this, the subject turns to counterfeit Kate/Jack Spade stuff and the idea is posited of going down to Chinatown and buying a bunch of Kate Spade knockoffs and selling them in actual Kate Spade stores on a special table marked "AUTHENTICATED Fake Kate Spade."


Head explodes!
