In an upcoming ad for the much-anticipated Versace collection at H&M, a supermodel gets stuck on a giant hamster wheel. That's exactly how I feel chasing all these limited-time designer clothes at cheapie stores. (I'm still steaming about that whole Missoni-at-Target experience.) I doubt the producers of the Versace commercial meant for this gold-leafed wheel-to-nowhere to be taken literally, though watching the behind-the-scenes clip below doesn't help at all. (The Kia hamsters would probably die for that prop, though.)
