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'm very specific about my purses. They have to be denim, and they have to have a long strap. However, sadly, the last purse I bought, though denim, did not have a long strap -- just the two little handles. :+( Le sigh. (However, I can kind of deal with it because the purse looks like jeans. With a belt!)
I love long straps. They leave me with -- wonder of wonder -- two arms to use!
Hmm...do I have a strap I can attach to this purse? ::goes off looking::
