Purses: The Fabric of My Life
Have you ever wondered where I get my amazing, gripping and socially relevent ideas for blogs? It goes a little something like this, via I.M...
Heather: so, what else is up, these days?
PW: I got a dooney purse and a coach purse off eBay for about $100 total!
H: ooh! sweet!
PW: I should really do a purse blog, like a bad catalogue
H: have barbies in each of them. in matching outfits.
PW: I love you.
H: and I ruv you!
PW: seriously, I have a lot of purses. I have to get started!
H: I have a bunch, most are boring. althoug I just found out that my favorite, a sort of bowlling ball looking bag, is just big enough to hold a bottle of champagne.
PW: you're a drunken whore
H: but I'm YOUR drunken whore.
And then Heather put down the crack pipe and went back to work, leaving me to scamper around my house, cackling maniacally, rounding up accessories and checking the light in each room.
I just... I'm such a huge gayrod, I don't even know how to verbalize it.
But aren't these little ladies the cutest? They're like twins whose mother had the good sense not to dress identically.
They're faux, of course. But I'm contemplating replacing them with the real things. I'll get 'round to it on eBay, but right now, I'm working on an eBay list that includes the following must-haves: a mousepad with a wrist rest, The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory, and a really cheap 2007 wall calendar to hang in my new work cubicle.
Is this not the quintessential summer purse? I ask you! Is it not?! This was the purse I used during July. (Yes, I rotate my purses monthly. Shut up. And I keep a list so I don't repeat too often. Shut up.)
It's vibrant! It's warm! It's... in the crook of a tree! You can't get more summery than green foliage!
I want to sleep with this Dooney & Bourke Quilted Sac.
Not only does it allow me to say "sac" in polite company, but it's blue, which is my favorite color.
I will use my sac in September. But for now, I'm toting this kicky little Fake Spade number I borrowed from Billi.
Swapped her for a faux-Prada. I totally got the better end of the deal.

Hm. How odd. I think the last time I used my sac was in September, too.
