This is a fashion-world development I hadn't expected:
Apparently Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will design a limited edition collection of high end jewelry for Asprey. The collection, inspired by snakes (I'm surprised the inspiration is not DAGGERS, frankly, but whatevs) will start at $525 -- for a silver baby spoon! -- will go on sale this week, and all proceeds will go to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which was co-founded by Jolie in 2006, and which raises awareness and money toward the education of child victims of war, conflict, and natural disasters. Jolie released a statement over email about the cause:
"These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place -- to just be children. Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school."
I'm cool with all that, but don't you think that, in that case, selling a silver spoon to rich babies for $500+ sends sort of a weird message? Just saying.
NO SALES TAX
