: MediaTakeOut.com caught wind that Mary J Blige was a good Samaritan the other day. Word is that she helped out a broke chick at the Diane Von Furstenburg store who was in desperate need of a wrap dress.
Here's how the NY Post is reporting it:
"The girl had a dress on hold that she loved, and the bill was $900. She thought it was only $500, and she couldn't afford it." Blige told the saleswoman, "Go get the girl. I want to pay for the balance on the dress." The customer at first declined Blige's offer but relented after the singer said, "I know what it's like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist."Mary .... girrrrrrlll ... why you ain't tell us that you were giving away money!! Do you know that we have a pair of earrings on layaway that we've been paying down on for months ....
that was a waste of money, i guess it was nice of mary to do that but if that chick is gonna buy a 500 dollar dress than she obviously got some money and mary sent a bad message of materialism by doing this, mary should have went to a store in a ghetto and bought 400 dollars worth of clothes for the families that cant afford somethin for 10 dollars, and [EXPLETIVE] all of u guys who aren't wealthy but by jeans that cost more than 200, stick to 70 at most, its the same [EXPLETIVE]
@ LoliLove & ttiiaa,
Whew...ya'll ain't neva lied! Loan payments are kicking my azz too! It was cute when I was in school and they were deferred....then my azz graduated and the bills started coming and ain't stopped yet!
And I know what you mean about the gas...my brother used my car to go to NC and left me his truck. I drove from my house to the mall (a 10 minute drive) and back with the air conditioner on and the tank went from 1/2 to almost on "E". I parked that chumpy (another of my old school words) and got my bike out the garage. Eff what ya heard.
FIRST OFF WHAT IS HER DUMB AZZZZZ DOING IN DIANE VON Fs STORE ANYWAY?? ESPECIALLY IF SHE IS BROKE.
DID SHE THINK THEY WERE GIVING THE CLOTHES TO HER OUT OF PITY??
SEEMS TO ME IF SHE IS BROKE HER PRIORITY SHOULDN'T BE INVESTING IN AN INSANELY PRICED DRESS....SHE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR WORK.
I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF HER BILLS ARE PAID ON TIME??? I BET YOU SHE OWNES A LOUIS VUTTON BAG...BUT SHE IS BROKE....PULEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Z. THIS IS JUST STUPID.
SO WHERE DOES A BROKE CHICK WEAR A DESIGNER OUTFIT THAT COST $900.00??? THE SUPERMARKET? TO THE PARK?? A BACKYARD BBQ?? BLOCK PARTY??
Why in the hell was she trying to buy a $500 dollar dress that she had to put on layaway anyway. Obviously, you can't afford it so go buy the cheaper version and stop trying to live above your means. I bet her rent is past due and she don't have food in the fridge but wanna stunt in a $900 dress. Get outta here..
I don't know, maybe it's just me but this sounds like a set up. If the girl had the dress on layaway, how could she not know how much it was? She probably saw Mary in the store and thought Mary might help her out if she gave her a good enuff sob story. Maybe I'm to suspicious. But who am I to knock homegirl's hustle fo' real.
FORGET THAT BROKE CHICKEN. MARY HELP PPL WITH THEIR GROCERIES SHIIITT. HERE'S A SITE FOR PPL TO GET GROCERIES FOR $30 WHICH U WOULD PAY A LOT MORE IN THE STORE FOR. CHECK OUT THE JULY MENU FOR GROCERIES. SAVE MONEY ANYWAY U CAN. I KNOW I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE WHATEVER IN THE BANK I'M ABOUT SAVING.

Ok, she can afford to pay $500 for the dress but not $900? Shoes and accessories are still gonna cost about $400-$500.
If you can't afford to buy a $900 dress then you can't afford to buy a $500 dress. That's just stupid.
Indeed that was very gracious of Mary. Giving is what it's all about, real spit.
that was real....whether ornot she conned MJB; whether or not it was on layaway...the gesture is the most important part...MJB probably saw herself when she was younger at that very moment... On the real, Mary is my idol. She's always been real from day one and is glamorous...and ya'll dont know maybe the girl bought the shoes first...u know that's what women do...I do....I buy the shoes and then the outfits to go with it.....
haterz. it's not a waste of money. as a matter of fact, your basics should be quality clothing. when you purchase cheap clothes, you end up spending more. how many times have some folks replaced that white blouse from rainbow 20 times when you could have spent a little money. let's face it, you will always have and need a white blouse.
