This is funny. Actually, that whole site is pretty whacky. If you scroll to the very right of this, you will see a ridiculously priced gift wrap. I made an inquiry to the Troy store in hopes of enlightenment.From: sethe j [mailto:myboyfriendisdeadandgay@yahoo.com]

I was taking a look through Toby Wong's website and happened upon this page of merchandise from Troy. I am incredibly curious as to what could make gift wrap such an expensive item. Are they original Warhol prints? If so, why are you using them for gift wrapping? Is the price in Taiwan dollars? Canadian dollars? Please reply ASAP as my friends and I are clutching our brains and running about frantically, trying to locate the reason for which any gift wrap could be so incredibly expensive. Thank you.

Hello,
Yes they are original Warhol prints. We are using them as gift wrapping as a nod to Warhol's practice of employing the unextraordinary to produce the extraordinary. We are reversing the concept. Pricing is in American dollars.
You can stop running about now.
Thanks,
Charles

I asked them if they hid in the toilet stalls and then lurked about dodging lasers after the museum closed to steal the prints, but they never replied. I guess maybe they did.
