The Liar + The Borrower = The Stylist


Many readers informed me that they were very much entertained by the story of The World's Biggest Liar. Some felt weird that he did not do his research before fabricating the top ten lies. Due to the overwhelming response of the story, I have decided to write a sequel and entitle it "The Borrower."

The stylist fabricated the lies to impress the people around him. He lies for the purpose of social climbing, for the people to think highly of him. Seriously, does he really have to impress other people because he is a stylist?

He is smart enough though to know that his lies will never be sufficient to convince people, so he had to use another deceptive strategy called borrowing. He borrows almost anything that he can use to show off to people and make them believe that he actually owns them. His list of favorite items to borrow would include cars, designer handbags, shades and other fashion accessories. Besides these material objects, he is also known for borrowing money and never giving it back.

Apart from his borrowing tactics, he also buys things from friends but never pays for them. Like this Hermes Herbag that he bought from a friend who is a bag seller. When the seller sent him messages, following up on the 90,000 Php payment, he informed the seller that he lost the bag. Does this mean that he no longer has to pay for the bag because he misplaced it? The seller was so surprised as to how he can lose such a big bag. Why can't he just return the bag? Did he sell the unpaid bag to get cash out of it?

In fairness to this stylist, his social climbing efforts have impressed a few gullible people in the fashion industry. One person I can think of is the editor in chief of a high end magazine who is actually considering him for a fashion editor post. I guess he is really an excellent actor for the editor to believe him. I just hope that mister editor does his assignment before making such a big mistake. This might be the worst decision of his career.
