This is the one about purses.
Posted January 6th, 2009 by Mike Lawson
Okay…hear me out before judging me.
Every time that I pass all of the purses for sale at Target I kind of wish I was a woman.
I’m not saying that I feel like I was born the incorrect gender. It’s just when I see all of those options I am sad that it is socially unacceptable for me to carry a purse.
I carry a man-bag. A boring, black man-bag. If I were a woman, I probably would buy all of the 30 bags they sell at Target, and keep buying more and more.
While at Target last week I confessed this to Daniel, and he played into my hypothetical (that’s proof that this is love). Daniel said that he couldn’t be a compulsive purse-buyer because he would be unable to transfer all of his crap into a new bag each day. But I think that the junk transfer is at the heart of why I would have a million bags…each time I transferred my stuff I could throw out or remove some of the junk I had been lugging around. “I guess I don’t need to carry these gloves around anymore, it’s June.”

These purses cause more that one problem.
I am a female, but i only like long strap purses (i do the half body hang thing). I don’t find very many “cute” long strapped bags, such as the designs on the picture you posted.
I WISH i could like the small shoulder bag, or the handbag things… because those are always the cutest! Monkeys and bannanas, dots and apples, pineapple and pizza.
But i can’t… i forget them or lose them. is that weird?
OMG! they could make a man bag, that is all black and boring on the outside and on the INSIDE! have a coool liner! yea?! omg i’m a genius.

I am so not into purses. I wouldn’t even carry a wallet if it weren’t for $$ and driver’s license.Interesting post, though.

I understand how moving junk around across many bags may sound romantic, but actually I just am constantly missing stuff I wish I had… I forgot to bring my shoes to the gym the other day and had to do my exercise class in socks, which was not comfortable… I left them in the wrong bag. Steve bought me a weird case to hold all of my stuff recently so I could just transfer that between bags… but now i have a weird bag within a bag which bothers the part of me that wants everything in the world to be concise, efficient, and purposeful. I wish instead of having to tote a bag around with me I could just be a sort of weird cartoon version of a turtle and have everything I might need in the world on my person in a shell… I wish that it was socially acceptable to wear those vests with pockets all over them in public… like http://www.amazon.com/Humvee-HMV-VS-K-L-Safari-Khaki-Large/dp/B000SRLCEI/ref=sr_1_2?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1328037980&sr=1-2 or http://www.amazon.com/Rufus-Roo-Pocket-Travel-Large/dp/B0050J6Q4U/ref=sr_1_19?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1328037980&sr=1-19 or
