Whatever Happened to Judith Lieber? Crystal Clutches for Cougars

Remember Judith Lieber? Her thousand-dollar Swarovski crystal-encrusted clutch purses were all the rage a decade ago or so. Her aesthetic is still raging hard in Las Vegas, mostly among the cougar set. Pictured here above (before the sales lady at the Bellagio, herself a cougar, politely stopped me from shooting any more photos) is the famous "world's most expensive cupcake" made popular by Sex and the City. One of the girls received said cupcake purse as a present.

The Liebers range from a thousand bucks to six thousand.

Not too far from the shop, was this ATM. Notice the denominations. Two hundred is the minimum quick-cash withdrawal.
