"Bag lovers, divert your eyes: That&amp;#x27;s Nene Leakes&amp;#x27;s graffiti-scribbled black Herm&amp;amp;egrave;s Birkin bag, covered with catchphrases she&amp;#x27;s uttered on Real Housewives of Atlanta. Gulp. I&amp;#x27;m all about the DIY, but is this approaching sacrilege? The bag (which looks like it was customized with paint pens, IMO) has also sparked a recent controversy, with the Daily Mail reporting Wendy Williams took to Twitter to ask followers what they thought about the defaced bag before deleting the tweet. It was up long enough for Nene to notice though; she responded with a blog post that ended by saying the Birkin is actually being &amp;quot;turned into a work of art to raise money for a worthy charity.&amp;quot; This totally isn&amp;#x27;t the first customized Birkin we&amp;#x27;ve come across either. Do you guys remember when Kim Kardashian&amp;#x27;s caused such a stir? And back in 2010, Lady Gaga let her white Birkin go under the Sharpie. Where do you stand on Nene&amp;#x27;s bag? Do you love the idea of making it her own, or are you still gobsmacked at people being brave enough to paint on something so expensive?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
