Mary, WHY Weren't You At Zara This Weekend When I Needed You?!

So apparently Mary J. Blige is the patron saint of poor little rich shoppers everywhere. From Page Six:

"MARY J. Blige has a heart the size of her record sales. Last week, Blige was at the Diane von Furstenberg store in the Meatpacking District when she overheard a girl having a problem at the register. A spy said, "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." The customer wanted to send her a check for the balance, but Blige said, "Just enjoy it. I'm blessed, so let me do this.""

Sigh. Mary, where were you this weekend when I was at Zara swooning over the $79 sheer shirt with stars on it but didn't buy it because I needed business attire? Um. I swear I thought it was only $1. Wanna cover the rest?

Anyway, MJB gets a gold star for awesomeness! I mean, it could have gone to someone more worthy like me, who doesn't even have $500 to spend on a dress, but that's just me being nit picky. Also, Mary, I work just around the corner from the DVF store, so you know where to find me if you're ever feeling charitable again!
