A small rant...

tree_talkingDear 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.

I did manage to find what I wanted - a very roomy messenger bag I can stuff with books and my laptop and such. With a very long strap that goes over my shoulders.
By looking through bags for men on the American Eagle site.
Why do people thing women don't need large bags with straps that can go over the shoulder rather than be lugged around? It doesn't make any sense! *grumbles*
