I hope you realise how lucky you are to have found your One True Bag. Not every woman is so blessed in this life. (Not a word of snark. The search is endless!)

I heard your dog is a real bitch. Just sayin’.

Yes, you sure can. (Source: I just kicked cancer’s ass.)

BTW... your username. I’ve recently fallen hard for Big Bang! Just had to mention that. 8-)

I’m a woman who has entered that period of life when invisibility, at least part of the time, is inevitable. Mostly IDGAF, but... true story: last week I was crossing the street, and idling at the red light was a guy in a super-sweet vintage convertible. I caught his eye, glanced at the car, and gave an approving nod.…

Many stars, may you have them.

Funny thing, I’m in approximately the same boat as Frau von Hatchet, and found her post on-point and amusing. Where is all the hatred of men you claim to see? She’s laughing because dude is finding out what it’s like to be sidelined because of ageing, just like all women do. That’s not the same as hating men, and…

*jaw*drop* My guess is, that leather chair set did not earn him a commission that day.

Canadian here, and same thing with moccasins: the proper fur-lined, hand-beaded buckskin ones. Delightful house slippers, incomprehensible when seen on the street.

That’s why I was extra-glad to know the purse I got custom at Roots was made right here in their Toronto factory. It just skeeves me out wondering if the things I buy are made with slave labour, and this at least for sure was not.

Starred for both content and perfect Ab Fab reference.

Precisely.

Wait, are you me? Because that describes *exactly* the bag I was looking for, to the nth degree. EXACTLY. In the end I got it custom made at Roots, for less than the retail price of your perfect Coach, but rather more than the sale price...

Yes! I wish Roots publicized this service. You choose an existing style of bag, and then pick pretty much everything about it: type and colour of leather, stitching colour, hardware, lining. (You can actually get the lining embroidered with a monogram, but I didn’t go that far.) I also asked for long pulls on all the…

I think her spirit animal is Helena from OB.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Her eyeshadow/brow game is epic strong.

One time I was getting a Sephora salesperson to show me how to use BB cream, and she did my eyes too, and as casual conversation I asked her about her own makeup routine. She described a long, long daily process of cleanse, tone, serum (?), and moisturizer, followed by concealer, foundation, highlights, and contour.…

Seriously, why do people say this? What do they expect you to say to it? “Gee, thanks!”

They might have been very happy. Miserable breakups don’t retcon the past. Well, not usually.

It was really the wardrobe department’s excellent deployment of boob tape, but your point stands. So do hers.
