I don't get that either. Heck, my mom introduced me to Vera Bradley bags - which are nice, and my husband got me their diaper bag when Maggie was born, which was lovely. But I find their prices too high - and that's on the order of $60-70. I like their petite Villager, but was able to find a Chinese knockoff in purple at a Crackerbarrel, for maybe $10-15, and that works fine for me.

Yeah. Status symbols for their own sake I completely don't get.

I'm glad you're having fun with the buttons. I hope we get to hear about which ones you make.

Oh, twist my arm whydoncha. :-)

I've got a file full of little sayings just waiting to be buttonized, plus I'm gonna snurch off with a bunch that balthrop and sivib have.

I don't get the designer handbag thing either. My cousin is obsessed with buying L.A.M.B. bags (Gwen Stefani's line). They're like $250 (or more) a pop. Seriously...it's fucking purse. You put shit in it. When guys see you in public, they don't give a shit about how well your purse coordinates with your outfit. Me, I try not to even carry purses; they just get in the way. I don't feel the need to haul that much shit around with me anyway. Guys don't do it, why should I?

Shit, I think Craig's man-bag cost like $30 or $40. But then again, we got it at Magic Mountain, it looks very masculine, and it has "CORONA" emblazoned across it.

"Nerd Bling"??? Bwahahaha!! That just made my day. Oh, and the $1500 purse thing? It's a way of telling other women, "I/the guy who buys me stuff makes a metric butt-ton of money. Don't you wish you did?/See, I'm as good as you are." It's like peacocks and tail feathers. Silly on the surface, but functional. My lesbo years make me resist the whole concept of "purse"-- I have one but I carry it inside my backpack. Let me loose in an office supply store, though, and I'd be in heaven. Everyone's got their own version of crack.
