Lady Gaga destroys another Hermes Birkin bag

Several weeks ago, Lady Gaga had artist Terence Koh write all over her white Hermes Birkin bag in Japanese with a Sharpie. Now Gaga has clumsily stuck hundreds of studded spikes through her black Birkin. As fashion lovers know, these highly coveted bags, named after actress Jane Birkin, start at around $10,000 but often exceed $50,000 depending on the materials used.

Surely we don't have the kind of budget to buy a handbag that costs as much as a yearly salary, but if we did own this purse, we'd be handling it like our first born child. Not defacing it with markers and studs. But we could find a lot more productive ways to spend (or donate) $50,000. That is, if she actually paid for them.

Don't get us wrong, we love Lady Gaga for making fashion statements. But it seems like she will wear anything these days to get attention, and she is constantly looking for new ways to outdo herself. Do you think Gaga is making some kind of commentary on fashion by customizing and essentially ruining the most expensive purse you can buy? [OMG][Bag Snob]
