What's in your purse?

[skcin]

Or your manbag? Or do you not carry either one?

My purses are all medium size - anything too teeny & I can't fit my **** in there, anything too large (like those big hobo sacks) and I can't find a damn thing, my stuff just gets lost. My favorite purse is burnt-sienna colored suede with black leather straps - I get more comments on that one than any other purse I've ever had, and the thing only cost me $20 on sale at JC Penney's. :laugh:

Current contents:
Cell
Wallet (with cash, ID, bankcard, various "shoppers" discount cards, etc.)
mp3/earphones (in a handy little carrying case that I got free from the Clinique counter :cool: )

For me, its a little more of "what's NOT in your purse". Le'ssse....I don't have any pets in there, so that's NOT in my purse.
Christ, I even carry a purse holder in my purse.

[BTFLCHLD]

Damn, Paula. You could leave the country with all that ****.
Reason # 732 I am glad to be a dude.
I am bagless.
All I need is keys, a swiss army knife, ID, a little plastic sleeve all the cards go in, and cash. Pockets do me fine.

[BTFLCHLD]

two lottery tickets wow...I just won $4! :rolleyes:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Ok... I take it you mean handbag?? Because a purse to me is the what I keep my money in!

Small address book

Like Sparky, I'm good with my pockets.

Always have:
Right pocket:
- .5 mechanical pencil (I.hate.pens.)
- Cellphone
- Keys, meal card/student ID, jump drive (right hoodie pocket always & only)

Left pocket:
- Burt's Bees
- iPod, if listening (left hoodie pocket always & only)

Sometimes have:
Left pocket:
- Wallet (I hate having it in the back pocket)

In my messenger bag for school (I don't carry it with me all the time, but whatev):
- Folder with all current/non-specific work, letters in progress, etc + looseleaf paper
- Snack of some sort (usually a granola bar or two)
- Right now, three packs of Orbit (Raspberry Mint, Bubblemint, and Lemon Lime)
- Two tubes of Burt's
- Scientific calculator
- Book for those core classes where the professor says everything BUT stuff that has something to do with the course and don't matter in the longrun (currently Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk)
- More pencils, all .5 lead mechanical
- A pen or two for when I absolutely need one
- iPod if not in use
- Cough drops (Hall's cherry & Robitussin lemon & honey)
- Extra lead for aforementioned pencils
- Sometimes my laptop for note-taking, since notebooks are old meme
- Sometimes textbooks, for classes that actually use them
- Sometimes another folder, for classes where I need to be organized and such

And yeah, I think that's it.

chap stick (that I never use - see Chapstick thread)
A small mirror

I don't carry a bag, and I try not to carry a lot in my pockets, because I have a tendency to leave things in there. I can't tell you how many tubes of chapstick I've lost in the dryer. :laugh:

I'm too absent-minded to haul around a lot of stuff anyway. I carry my wallet, keys, and cellphone in my pockets, that's it.

[markolas]

I was talking about the gun.

:laugh:Yeah. :D That's why I have a smaller one for when I go clubbing or to concerts or something else. But the heavy one I carry around wherever else I go. I had it with me last Oct, but I mostly used to small one. :nod:

i hate feeling too girly.The girlier the better. Did I mention yet I love pink?


Thank God I'm not the only one carrying deoderant around with me. I'm always paranoid that I might smell. :o I never leave without it. It's not that I smell bad ( :eek: ) but it's something psychological I guess. :lol:

Of all the threads that have ever been on the ledge, I am stunned there as never been a "What Does Your Ass Look Like" thread.

[DrummerDeanna]

Of all the threads that have ever been on the ledge, I am stunned there as never been a "What Does Your Ass Look Like" thread.

:lol: :lol: True true...I even considered starting a "what do your hands look like thread" Can't believe I didn't think of an ass one!!

[amber]

My purse is 6" x 3". It holds cards, money (on occasion), lip gloss, and cell phone. Sometimes I can squeeze cigs in there. It has a detachable strap that you can use to wear it around your waist (or anywhere, that's just where I wear it). Because, if there's anything I hate, it's carrying sh*t. I.hate.carrying.****. I also don't like things knocking all against my body willy nilly, like a purse with a regular size and regular strap. Thus, the tiny waist strap purse. I'm just not physically free with all that giant purse hanging on me like an unwanted toddler.

Oh, and I always have a backpack, cause I ride my bike, and have to carry tons of stupid stuff everywhere, like to work and school. So all extraneous purse shizz is contained in said backpack, and when I go out and don't need any of that, I have mini purse around my waist. So I'm free. Free to not.carry.****. :laugh: I mean, what if I want to dance? or suddenly sprint across the street? Or generally bust a move? I can't be lugging a purse all around. I can't set it down, it gets stole. If I have anything I need to bring that doesn't fit in the purse, I make Paula or Golden Braid carry it. :laugh: They have big ass purses. :D

[skcin]

Of all the threads that have ever been on the ledge, I am stunned there as never been a "What Does Your Ass Look Like" thread.

That's genius. We'll see if I have enough beer in me this weekend to start one. Ode to emoticons, anyone? :o :laugh:

Kate - you fit a lot of crap in that bag. Impressive. :cool:

Dee - that bag really suits you. :nod:

Amber - it's apparent that you really love that backpack. I wonder if you could possibly love it as much as Stevie loved hers. :distress: And I had blocked all the "here, can you stick this in your purse?" moments out of my head until you just reminded me. :D

[amber]

Amber - it's apparent that you really love that backpack.

No, it's a teeny tiny purse. It's brown. I don't love my backpack. Um, but yeah, thanks for carrying my stuff...:laugh:

[skcin]

No, it's a teeny tiny purse. It's brown. I don't love my backpack. Um, but yeah, thanks for carrying my stuff...:laugh:

[amber]

:shrug: Sounds like you llike your backpack at least a little bit:

Nope. It's a necessity. I like it better than a purse, but less than a car. Because it's filled with what most people would just throw in their car when they left. Unless it is filled with groceries. As you know, I don't have a car.

Note: "and have to carry tons of stupid stuff everywhere, like to work and school"

heehee. :p

^ After clearing out my purse this past weekend, I discovered that I also have some floss in there. Good to know. :laugh:

And I once again feel the need to edit :o - I ran out of Burt's Bees lip shimmer in Nutmeg, and the store didn't have any more in that color. So I bought the coffee shade because it looked damn close. Yeah...no. It's way too dark. It'll do for now, but next time I'm out, I'm buying the nutmeg again.
