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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

It's a cool bag, though. It's been a good morning becuase it started with a CUPCAKE.

Though, seriously, at the end of the week, I'm going to weigh 8554 lbs.

I have seen pieces of the luggage Trudy describes in thrift stores, but never a whole set. I have also seen the opposite, which is what I want-- hot pink outside, purple inside. I have only seen the make-up bag for that one though.

I have one suitcase, which was given to me by a work friend after it basically got destroyed after a trip to Italy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think your solution is obvious.

Oookay. Right hand tremor action. I just ate, so it isn't low blood sugar, and I'm pretty sure I didn't have that much caffeine today.

Apparently not even my right hand knows what my right hand is doing.
