A distraught listener writes: “Bess-
I stumbled onto this Columbia Business School Vineyard Vines logo tie on the clearance rack at Century 21 the other night. It’s the same tie our investment management club gave to Buffett in Omaha last October. That tie was full price in our bookstore – $65. Century 21 is unloading it for $35.”
“Does this speak to a declining value for the MBA in general, the particularly shitty value in a Columbia MBA specifically…??? I don’t know. But this is bush league even for Columbia.”
Who cares about the ties? Best B School sandos out there.
No “He was wearing my HARVARD tie!” flag?
@Naked, whoa.
Bess,
Just imagine what I would do to you with that tie…and some duck tape.

It’s a well-known economic fact: you overpay for everything in the ghetto.
vv ties ain’t what they used to be. Just sayin’. AND they went ahead and made Union Club ties w/out their permission. Da Noive!
CBS sucks.
I attended Lawrenceville.
yawn. Wake me up when this happens to an Ivy
@4 go on
@9 would’ve worked if this were a post about columbia, since it’s not, GFY.
Canal St. 2/$5
The GSB tag is brilliant.
-Columbia MBA ’05, don’t remind me
@12 -
That is more than a BJ on Canal Street.

@”distraught listener” – “reader” perhaps? nevermind. what’s this “century 21″ of which you speak? is it a new film studio, if so I may be interested in investing – I like their ability to find a bargain.

@14 but it’s a really nice tie.

@cluzo- yeah obviously that was a joke as this is not a radio show. OR IS IT? (it’s not but I do read my posts aloud via video chat for premium subscribers.) up next: shots from Dupre’s playboy spread. she has a whip in her mouth. and as a forewarning I don’t want to hear one word-ONE!- about not being warned that something from Playboy needs a bigger NSFW tag.
“We might not be the best people, but were not the worst. Graduate students are the worst”
Bess, can’t wait for you to titillate us!
@BL do you do awesome drive time prank calls?
@Bess
The photos @ village voice are awesome; those _ _ _ _ never get _ _ _.
Vineyard Vines? Stern rocks Ferragamo.
@Bess – since when is Playboy NSFW? Been reading it here at Smith Barney for decades.
@15/Cluzo Century 21 is the last stop before work on the long walk of shame.
Vineyard Vines? Shits weak.
Stern rocks Ferragamo.
@18 (and 30 Rock in general) ftw
The discount is not surprising –
What is surprising is that you went to Columbia B-school and that you are wasting your life blogging about trivial nonsense for douche bags…oh…that sounds oddly familiar… :)
who wears ties?
What kind of ties do they give you for the CFA?
- guy who bases selection of professional school based on quality of swag
@21 I wish I could tell you how clever your handle is but my plan all along was to link the VV pictures so, blow a g and have a great day.
VV ties are for dilettantes.

Bess, I love lamp.
@DJ Libor: Spelling is a pre-req for bondage …
WTF was a fellow columbia grad doing at century 21? shame on you, they should revoke your diploma for shopping in such a store
Gotta hand it to them – great boots at ol’ C21.
*NOW OPEN IN QUEENS*
@24 – if the walk started downtown, you need to examine your life; if it ended there – you need a new job.
@bess – I <3 U, drinks?
8- you attended L’ville? So you got the boot I take it?
Sorry ladies. There are only 3 real business schools. And CBS is not one of them.
@cluzo- sure, N as well, it’s been too long
CLUZO – I WANT TO FIGHT YOU NAKED.
How much are the CFA ties going for?
@ bess:
Blow a
1) Goat?
2) Gigolo?
3) Gash?
4) Gimp?
I give. Really girl, you need to lay off the caffeine. It will kill you, my friend…
@ Greg (40?) – now you just injured my feelings here…
@17/Bess: and this whole time I’ve been reading them like some kind of fucking plebe? Where do you sign up for this?
we used to dig out VV ties from my high school lost and found all the time- no lasting power, they wear down quick
VS@43 – Don’t get snippety with me. I’m not the reason your first-born never learned how to read.
columbia has a business school?
@vol – you can play – er, I mean fight – with greg naked, I’m getting drinks with bessy.
@48 – at this point, I would rather play with Greg than make Bess fall in love with me (ALL women do – and I don’t know why). I’ll go Japanese Psycho on him…
I thought the Columbia colors were yellow red and blue
@50, that’s colombia, bro. and you shouldn’t screw around with Pablo Escobar’s mother land.

CBS loans suck ~ my IRR is -8.0%
Saw a Prof at Sloan wearing Hermes.
That’s an expensive napkin

@27 “What is surprising is that you went to Columbia B-school and that you are wasting your life blogging about trivial nonsense for douche bags”
what surprises me is how big a ‘tard you are, as demonstrated by your inability to differentiate between bess, the blogger, and the person speaking who wrote in, ie the columbia b-school grad. douche bag.
WOW! Somebody can still sell a GSB product for $35?
What were you doing at 21 anyway?
