Ruling Imagination: Law and Creativity

Speaking of Alaska’s Governor . . .

From Counterfeit Chic:

Eric Wilson at the New York Times started the Sarah Palin knockoff watch with his observation last week that she had arrived at the Alaska governor’s mansion the first time wearing “what appeared to be a knockoff Burberry scarf.”  Now her youngest daughter has been photographed carrying (Mommy’s?) Louis Vuitton bag, also alleged to be fake.

Even if the luxury bag turns out to be genuine — perhaps part of that $150K shopping spree — it doesn’t exactly scream all-American hockey mom.

And if the scarf and bag are indeed counterfeit, Sarah may have to face a few questions about the source of the illegal merchandise and her take on fakes.  Not to mention their association with child labor, organized crime, and, yes, in some cases even funding for terrorism.
