A small rant...

[tree_talking]

Dear people who decide what fashion is and isn't:

I like you well enough. The things coming out these days are nice and pretty and I do like the advent of lovely materials and things.

However, I do have one quibble.

Mightn't you decide to make handbags with long straps fashionable (read: easily accessible) again? I mean, the sweet ickle things for an evening out? Perfect with the teeny strap. I love them. They are cute and pretty and prosh.

However. When I must lug a glucose meter, day planner, iPod, cellphone, and a wallet the size of half a brick around town? The short strapped "big" purses are...ridiculous, to say the least. I do not like something the size of a piglet that close to my armpit.

I should not have to worry about deodorant stains on a HANDBAG.

And I should NOT have to get something from Wal-Mart that is ugly as sin in order to carry what I need to carry. It is Annoying. *nods*

So. Let's review: for evening and cute parties? ickle purses with short straps, very nice.

For Everyday life? Give me a big-ass purse with a strap that does not make the bag be like...another breast. A strap which puts the bag at about waist length or near hip length is perfect.

Thank you for your time.

Heh.

I don't mean to laugh at your rant, because it's well-stated and very well-formed. And I so agree that you shouldn't have to get a frickin' ugly purse at Wal-Mart.

You should definitely get that at Target.

This from the person who's always getting new purses and never using them, because I always end up with my nice small backpack again no matter what. They're convenient, as unfashionable as hell, and safe.

Dude, I almost always get my big ass bags from Target. They have several nice ones. The one I am using currently was bought at Target.

...yeah, I've seen some decent ones there. Definitely better than Wal-Mart, yes.

Well, it *is* a funny rant. I find it extremely amusing, as well as irritating, that I cannot seem to find a purse with...decent length straps out there. lol

I take comfort in the fact that fashion changes. ;)
