I thought handbag and purse were pretty much the same thing?

And why I'm posting repeatedly on a thread about purses I will never know.

In mine I have :
wallet
checkbook
address book
passport (which I'm taking out now. )
2 nail files
cell phone
work badge
pen
tweezers
eyeliner
compact (powder and mirror)
lip gloss
lip liner
2 suckers
listerine strips
and a rune from a spell I cast a while ago I'm supposed to carry around till the spell works

When I go out in the evening, I take tiny little purses and usually only carry ID, check card and/or cash, phone, cigarettes, keys and lipstick.

lol not in the uk, a purse is what u put ur money in.
In the USA i beleive they call a handbag a purse

dang now im

FUCK NO!

I only JUST started carrying one a couple months ago when I started selling AVON.

And I lose them ALL.THE.TIME.

I HATE having to carry shit. Thats what pockets are for!

The women I like have those wallets with the chains attached to their belts.

I think we still need 2 have a handbag (purse) but 1 thing i disslike is woman who dance around there handbags at night clubs they seem 2 do that a lot in the UK, not sure if it is world wide but it drives me nuts i end up tripping over someones

I used to didn't, but now I almost have to, because sometimes I wear pants without pockets. I'm very picky about bags too.....most of the ones I see never fit my usual wardrobe. I do like these though:




Or anything along these lines.

I have this one!

katt said:

That's the worst!!
Which is always why I bring my tiny little purses. Which I usually pawn off on someone who isn't dancing to watch for me while I dance.

CarrieMpls said:

I've done the same

I love it.

I've seen some women pull salad dressing out of their bag. I think that's DOPE. It's like bringing in popcorn before you enter a movie theater. lol

I must carry needed things into my purse like keys, cell phone, wallet, etc.

The ONLY time I'm without a purse is when I'm @ the gym or when I walk to the salon

I hate purses...they are so damn inconvenient!!! I carry a samll backpack when I go out during the day and a smaller teeny tiny black one when I go out cause I find it hysterical when I see groups of girls dancing round a purse in a club lol!!! I have also come across many women that have had theirs stolen in a club. If someone even touches my backpack I notice!!!! ANd they do tend to make womens pants with no freakin pockets!!!!!Damn designers!!!

I wish I hadn't got 2 carry 1 all the time but i have very precious things in my handbag like my keys,a mirror,lip gloss,mascara,eyeliner,tissues,sunglasses,cell phone,a small comb...so many stuff so I have 2 put them somewhere

I LOVE purses!!!! Here is my newest addition...but mine is in lavender!

I do, but I didn't used to, just put my purse in my backpocket.

With kids you can't have enough emergengy stuff on you

This is like mine

But in these coulors

Really nice

I like them, but I do often just tuck my drivers license and debit card (or sometimes my whole wallet), cell phone, keys, and a lip gloss into my pockets.

dont carry them but i love 'em, just like high heels that i cant wear

katt said:

But you also said you had a wallet in there. So what is that then? x 10

retina said:

Purse for money, wallet 2 hold business cards & emergency phone numbers then credit card wallet.

retina said:

I'd so buy that.

i try to go with a tuny little bag for wallet, keys and phone.

you have to remember that men's fashions are designed with a LOT of pockets. women's fashions are sans pockets to streamline the look. it's not fair

i have a case logic c.d. carrier that i double as my purse.

i call it my "M&M Bag"

Music & Makeup.

I want a new coach bag, alas it is not in my budget this month..next month doesn't look any better.

CarrieMpls said:

It's amazing! Where did you find it?

applekisses said:

That purse you can find at Hot Topic...my daughter works there. You can find all kinds of Andy Warhol purses and wallets there.

It's about 2 years old, but I think I picked it up at Urban Outfitters. I haven't used it in a while, but I still think iut's adorable.
