Too Gauche for Gucci

I remember a fuming thesis adviser storming into his faculty room and successfully popping several arteries and veins from his already nervous-as-hell students. He read, or heard, or watched from somewhere, I couldn't really recall how he got about this message, this was two years ago, but here: Celine Lopez and Tim Yap was declared literary icons because of their much-talked-about, and apparently much-read, columns in the Philippine Star. He said if that was the standard, why do we even bother with literary theories and endless nights of working out plots, character histories, etc etc?
We were certainly too gauche for Gucci and thankfully so. With rumors of ghost writers, cocacabana parties, and unpaid debts, you just can't charge too much to artistic license.
