Get the ghetto fabulousmug. style of dress for people from poor families that think designer anything is hot! but its not when you live in a poor neighborhood and dont have a car. but you buy gucci and chanel and Louis vutton because your baby dady is giving you child support.
A young girl lives in the hood, she wants nice things but has little funds. She enlists the help of hot boy and later becomes his (engenue?. So he gives her cash when she wants it she goes out and buys gucci and Louis Vutton instead of buying a car or a home.
