I'm with Connie. The only way I could pay $500 for a bag is if it either was guaranteed to last for the rest of my life or if it had antigravity. I'm much more inclined to spend that kind of money on gadgets, antiques or art.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Are there orgasms in it? A Pulitzer prize? Probably not then.

I'd be such a boring rich person. I look at designer stuff and go, "You want me to pay how much for that?"

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I didn't pay $500 for it. CBS did.
The bag is beautifully constructed, will carry half a dozen hardbacks plus everything else I need to carry, and will last forever. But I don't pay that kind of money for bags, either, except luggage.
I am asleep on my feet. Must stay awake.

I can't even.
Name things you would spend $500 of someone else's cash on if you then had to appear in public with it.
I'll say: Helmet, uh, blazer, shoes, crackberry, coat/jacket, trousers. Hmm. I'm not very ornamentation-oriented, but I have one of the Fellowship cloak-clasp type pins and get compliments on it all the time (geek identifier!), so I suppose the right piece would work.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My floor is a graveyard of murdered handbags, filled with receipts, half empty tins of mints, and lip glosses.
You've obviously seen the inside of my walk-in closet.

That's great, Deb. Not the exhausted part but the new hair and bag part.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Ooh, I'm jealous. I want. I also want an Arwen pendant. (also a geek)

PMM, if you check in later, what was the hair dye you recommended? I found a color on there that I really liked and wanted to try it. But, I forget what it's called.
Naturtint! Whole Foods usually has it.
Slept through Deb, drat it! Want to see peektures!
Cannot understand $500 for a bag, but can understand slightly over $100, as that's the mark where you start to get really well made purses that last more than a year when abused used by me.
(I paid $10 for my purse, but I was buying it off a friend, and it cost her $160 new about 7/8 years ago, as my One True Purse style--basically Wallet on String with Pouch--isn't in stores at the moment.)
