I want the kind of job that requires me to carry a $500 fabulous pink bag.

Suspect Jilli does, too.

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

This I can understand. Something that looks pretty cool, can carry a lot of junk, and lasts.

Naturtint! Whole Foods usually has it.

Thanks!

Hmmm...wondering if I can fit a trip to Whole Foods into my day. I suspect I can't, but I sure might try!

Well, I go for small purses so as to break myself of the "EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD SHALL BE IN THIS PURSE!!!1!" habit I used to have. I think for purses that actually hold a lot of stuff, the price point winds up about $50-75 higher new. They're totally worth it for the sake of materials and construction alone, mind.

I am, as I said, hell on purses. Their little bottoms get scuffed, and their straps get twisted. Cheap bags will fall apart on me in a heartbeat. I'm the reason I'm not allowed to have nice bags.

I'd pay $500 for a bag if I had the money, at least if it were one that was really well made and going to last forever.

I would love to be on What Not to Wear --- I could do with $5000 worth of clothes and I would love love love to have their stylist do my hair.

I would take a five hundred dollar purse from a multi-gajillion dollar corporation in a heartbeat, and then I'd never use it, because it would look out of place with my sneakers, or Famous Footwear Outlet boots which have seen better days.

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

They did a really nice job on the jewelry. I bought an Arwen pendant for a friend. It is gorgeous.

I hope Deb appreciates that we sat through Reagan-adulation for her. I mean, it was totally worth it, but still!

Presents make me nervous. I get performance anxiety about opening gifts, which dampens my enthusiasm, which makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm sure I'll love it, but I hope everyone will forgive me if I freeze up.

I'd also love to know how $500 shoes would fit my feet, my feet are hard enough to fit that I can't just order them without trying them on. It's obnoxious and keeps me from having pretty shoes I find on ebay.

I'd take it, and probably either use it and ruin it, or give it to Jilli, as she's Very Good With Bags.

And I'd be convinced it goes with my Docs. But I think everything goes with Docs. (Which explains the 10 or so pairs of them I own.)

Hmm. I need to do a shoe purge soon...
