Umklami Wabukisa Ngamaqhinga Akhe Amangalisayo

Izindaba ezingamanga, ama-akhawunti omgunyathi e-Facebook, ukubuyekezwa kwemikhiqizo engelona iqiniso, uthando-mbumbulu, izinwele mbumbulu, izingxenye zomzimba mbumbulu...

Umgunyathi uzakhele umkhathi wawo omncane laphaya.

Ngakho-ke, kunengqondo ukuthi uKenneth Jay Lane ushisa kakhulu kunangaphambili.

U-Lane, umklami wobucwebe izingcezu zakhe eziwubucwebe ezihlobise izingalo, izintamo nezindlebe zabesifazane abadumile basesitayeleni kusukela ku-Jackie Kennedy kuya ku-Rihanna no-Gwyneth Paltrow (noma kusukela ku-Barbara Bush kuya ku-Beyonc, uma ufuna ukuba ngokoqobo) ushone ngonyaka odlule eneminyaka engu-85.

Wayengazenzisi ngamahloni kwaze kwaba sekugcineni okungababayo.

Umklami wobucwebe wemvunulo othandwa kakhulu emhlabeni wemfashini, u-Lane, umklami oqeqeshelwe ukuklama weSikole Sase-Rhode Island, ucabange izingcezu zakhe ngeso leciko, ukugqama kombala nothando olungenalo uxolo lwamatshe abushelelezi, mbumbulu.

Okukhulu, kungcono.

"Wayegcizelela ukuthi wayengasebenzisi noma yini eyitshe langempela," kusho uVictoria Tudor, uchwepheshe wezobuciko bokuhlobisa endlini yendali kaChristie's.

“Konke bekungamanga. Bekufanele kube njalo.” Ngesonto elizayo eNew York, uChristie uzodayisa endalini indawo ka-Lane, okuhlanganisa nokuqukethwe efulethini lakhe elikhulu iPark Avenue kanye nezingcezu zenqolobane yakhe yobucwebe, futhi ngoLwesithathu, indlu endalini ibambe ukubuka kuqala kwezingxenye ezithile ze ubucwebe e-Chicago's Space 519, isitolo sezimpahla zemfashini nendlela yokuphila enabalandeli abakhulayo.

Ekubukeni kuqala, abangaba abathengi babheke imigexo ewubuciko bempophoma namacici aneminwe ayigugu aboniswe ngasengalweni. Zaziqathaza imihlathi, impela, kodwa zihloselwe ukugqokwa, hhayi ukugobhoza ngemuva kwengilazi.

Okudaliwe kuka-Lane, okulinganiselwa ukuthi kuzothengiswa ngamanani asukela kumakhulu aphansi kuya cishe kuma-US$1,500, cishe kuzobiza amanani aphansi kunemidwebo, ifenisha nezinto aziqoqile.

Okungenzeka ukuthi wayengenandaba.

"Izingcezu zakhe zigqokwa abesifazane abadumile," kusho uTudor, "kodwa futhi bekumele bagqoke noma yimuphi owesifazane." Izindaba ezingamanga? Ukuhlukanisa.

Ubucwebe mbumbulu? Idemokhrasi - ngomqondo omuhle kakhulu.

Kudala ngaphambi kwesitayela sokumakethwa kwe-Target, u-Lane wayenza ukufinyeleleka kwaba isisekelo somugqa wakhe wobucwebe.

Wayengamanga, wayengokoqobo.

Isitayela sobucwebe besitatimende sanamuhla silandela umugqa oqondile obuyela emuva ku-Lane, owazibiza ngokwenza ubucwebe bemvunulo babenza izinto ezigqamile, ezingenamahloni zesitayela esiphezulu.

"Ubucwebe bemvunulo buya ngokuba nesibindi futhi bukhulu," kusho uJim Wetzel, umnikazi we-Space 519 nozakwethu u-Lance Lawson.

“Sikulesi sikhathi lapho abesifazane befuna ukwehluka. Futhi ngobucwebe bemvunulo, okwangempela kungafinyeleleka." Izitayela ze-Wetzel zisho ubucwebe obunezingubo ezilula, zesimanje noma ngisho nesikibha ne-blazer epholile.

Uveza ukuthi ukuthola ubucwebe bakho obudonsa umhlathi ubucwebe bemvunulo kuyiqhinga eliqashwe "ongcweti besikhathi esidlule" abafana no-Audrey Hepburn - futhi kusasebenza nge-telegraph isitayela esiqinisekile. Akunzima ukulandela lokho kuhola, kusho uWetzel.

Khumbula nje:

"Ungawuzibi umuzwa. Uma ubheka okuthile futhi ufana nokuthi, 'Ngiyawuthanda lowo mbala,' yithenge. Umbala kumgexo ngeke ungagqoki uma uwenza ngezingubo ezingathathi hlangothi. Uma ubona okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okukhazimulayo futhi ukhangwa yikho, ungawugqoka,” kusho u-Wetzel.

"Thanda lelo siqephu esisodwa, futhi ugqoke lelo siqephu esisodwa. Awudingi ngempela ukupakisha abangane abaningi. Uma unepheya elimangalisayo lamacici esitatimende, lelo yicici lesitatimende, futhi awudingi ngempela ukuqhubekela phambili.

“Nakekela ubucwebe bakho. Uma uyikhumula ebusuku, yifake esikhwameni esincane sokulala. Ngoba ufuna ihlale isesimweni esihle. Kungase kungabi ucezu lweCartier, kodwa kungase kube ucezu ugogo wakho akunikeze lona alugqoka ngoMgqibelo lapho eyodla nomyeni wakhe. Lokho kubalulekile." Futhi, yiqiniso iphuzu uLane angakaze alikhohlwe: inkohliso akufanele ibe yi-Putin-on-Facebook creepy. Inkohliso ingaba mnandi nje. Yigqoke ngokuziqhenya.
