However, I don&#8217;t like that the seller used &#8220;Gianni Versace&#8221; in the title of the listing and saved the &#8220;Versus&#8221; information for the description. The title could have easily said &#8220;Versace Versus,&#8221; which would have been honest while still attracting &#8220;Versace&#8221; searches.  There&#8217;s no need to be shady about such a great jacket. Maybe that&#8217;s why the feedback for this seller is only 99% positive. That&#8217;s a little lower than what I normally deal with. I would still encourage someone to buy this jacket though. It would turn jeans and a t-shirt into something special, and the more creative people could really have fun with it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Versace, I keep meaning to share this clip of Kristen Johnston in one of my favorite <a href=\"http:\/\/wbjewelry.blogspot.com\/2008\/06\/sexism-and-city.html\">Sex and the City<\/a> episodes.<\/p>\n<p><object height=\"344\" width=\"425\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tfuS_DAnIy8&amp;hl=en\"><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/tfuS_DAnIy8&amp;hl=en\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" height=\"344\" width=\"425\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Does her purple Versace dress <a href=\"http:\/\/wbjewelry.blogspot.com\/2008\/02\/nomi-malone-loves-versace-too.html\">look familiar<\/a>?
