Mary J. Blige plays fairy godmother to a shopper

Mary J. Blige

Mary J. Blige turned fairy godmother for one New York fan last week when she offered to help pay for a high-end designer dress.

The R&B star was shopping at the Diane Von Furstenberg store in downtown New York when she overheard a fellow customer complaining about the price of a dream dress she had put on hold.

At $900 the dress was $400 more than the cash-strapped shopper had expected, and so Blige stepped in to pay the difference.

The stunned buyer initially refused to accept Blige’s help, but when the Family Affair hitmaker said, “I know what it’s like to want something and not be able to have it,” and insisted on buying the garment, the happy shopper bagged her dress and then asked for Blige’s details so she could repay her.

But the generous singer said, “Just enjoy it. I’m blessed, so let me do this,” according to MTV News.

    Wait wait wait. I have a hard time feeling so sorry for this underprivileged shopper who had $500 to blow on a dress in the first place. I mean, how about handing over an extra $400 to a family who doesn’t have enough money left over at the end of the month to buy food because they are unable to cope with the rising prices of fuel? Not the tragedy that strikes the frivolous who didn’t expect the $500 DvF dress was going to jump $400. Waaaa.
