The Right Bag

This one’s for the ladies on the go.

When setting out on your jaunts, try putting all your things in a single and appropriate travel bag. Avoid lugging a purse, shoe bag, tote bag, lunch bag, gift bag and the-stuff-I-baked-last-night-for-the-gang-at-work-bag. Ok, granted the purse is a prerequisite for some, so two bags. Ok, we all want the goodies you baked last night too. Other than that, ya’ll look like a bunch of clumsy oafs bumbling in and out of the metro cars with your excessive baggage. It’s hard to be graceful while jostling bundles of gear.

Based on all the attention spent on femme-frocks and femme-frock accessories, as well as their “its so cuuuuute” cooing over every new fekin’ handbag, I assume ladies don’t try to appear like clods. So why then diminish the aesthetic goals, by haulin’ shoes and what not in an old plastic Reitman’s bag draped over a $200.00 Gucci purse?

By simply picking the appropriate bag, one can travel to work with style and sack that awkward juggling act. Many gals look mighty smart sauntering down the lane with their trendy backpack or bedazzled tote bag.

And another albeit similar thing, when did parents begin carrying their kid’s crap (more often than not a Sponge Bob backpack)? What guilt-ridden reason is behind that backward nonsense? The little sherpas should be carrying the parents’ stuff, if anything.

Have a hoot, enjoy your commute

How did you acquire a photo of my sister-in-law from a year ago? She lives in San Francisco and had a movable 'hooch' made from large cardboard boxes and various and sundry collected rags on one of the SF ocean beaches. She does, literally, "move with the tide". She has since moved into an apartment furnished by the welfare department and now owns a shopping cart she stole from a super market.
