It can't be that hard to get matching luggage if one wanted; every time I go to a department store discounter like Loehmann's or TJ Maxx they're overflowing with the stuff.

How are you?

I am surprisingly tired today. Like feel like I've been beaten up. It's odd, but not esp. distressing. I will undoubtedly take a nap soon. And maybe hem some pajamas.

I also want a hatbox, although I don't know what I'd ever do with it.

Put love letters and photographs and then store it in the closet.

Okay, not quite that piece of luggage. Can't find it on their site. But it's about that size, and wheeled like a normal upright.

I'm stoked too, Kat. I'll call you after brunch.

Timberlake+Duran Duran=?.

It's ok...I welcome him back...with open arms.

Hey, you know. Anyway you want it? That's the way you need it.

Start wearing hats!

I do wear hats, silly goose. But I would never put one in a hatbox when I travel. I want a complete set of luggage with a big steamer trunk and a hat box and the whole shebang that I could take with me on my Atlantic crossing on the QE2. And I want some porters.

Huh. Does that make me the Marie Claire woman? Do I have to start reading it now, because I think I've never read an issue of that magazine. Heck, I hardly ever even see it on the stands. Didn't they work with Marie Claire in the early days of ANTM, or am I just totally making that up?

I have many hat boxes. I also have 2 pieces of matching luggage and then 3 pieces that don't match.

sara, you should toss out the hardsided, when are you going to use that? also possibly the rolling green thing, cause who needs a piece of luggage that attacks?

hello, with what I spent on the tux, "serious ride," size-queen TV, piece of art and the freaking luggage, I could probably build an AIDS unit, in a third world country.

We have matching luggage. I worked for a non-profit for 10 years, and we organized sporting events to raise money. I have sports bags with "Dance, Swim, Run, Walk, for Heart" logos on them. See? Matching. In all sizes.

Heh. Gotta love the post number. Also? Under first 100 in Natter in a looooong time.

The matching luggage that I have is saffron-colored, kind of sixtiesish looking design. There's a standard-sized suitcase, a small duffel, and a big suitcase that's got a sort of rounded duffel-type thing attached to the top -- hard to describe. If it also had a big suitcase and a rolling carryon, I'd be all set, but the company didn't make those.

I have matching luggage that I treated myself to when I went to London. I bought it at a discount store, and I don't think I paid more than $100 for the 3 piece set. I would rather spend more money on travel than that kind of money on luggage.
