Comments on Moo-Dog: I'm a handbag racist

Never understood the need for more than two pairs of shoes and a leather backpack myself. A good lookin' bloke is all I need for an accessory. Although a large and ostentatious handbag is a weapon of self defense. Remember the NZ rugby player who was knocked out when his manager thwacked him with a borrowed handbag! Shock and Awe with a Gucci label!

Ha you're actually right there, I occasionally rent a bit of space in the GFs handbag alright!

I hang on to the dignity and self respect myself though, there's so little of that I can comfortably carry it around, all on my Tobler.

"...women need to carry purse, mobile, ipod, makeup, GHD, small notepad, one hundred assorted items of jewellery, tissues, STs, chewing gum, small snacks and occasionally, a designer puppy."

you forgot to add their husband/boyfriend/whatever he deigns to call himself's phone, car keys, wallet, dignity and self-respect.

You see it's not the size of the bag that snags me, it's a huge bag with a massive shouty label on it that makes me run for the hills.

I can comprehend the need for a big bag as women need to carry purse, mobile, ipod, makeup, GHD, small notepad, one hundred assorted items of jewellery, tissues, STs, chewing gum, small snacks and occasionally, a designer puppy. Just put a big

i love big handbags and own several squillion of them. shiny ones. none of them cost more than 30 quid though, as i cannot be trusted to take care of anything that costs more than, well, 30 quid.

i hate women with designer orange skin. they smell funny. they're usually the ones with the designer handbags and the designer jeans (which are worse again).

Tiaras are fine.

In a very non-inflammatory way though, I can't stand burkas. I think they're just crafty ways for women to hide the fact they've got secret beards.

I'm not entireley sure what it's like to be a man (being a woman 'n' all) but I do know the game of which you speak. Believe me, women do it the whole time. For me, it's all about the shoes. Bad shoes = bad man.

PS I don't own anything designer or overtly ostentatious. Unless you count my tiara?

@Tom and Thrift - welcome to the barking milking parlour, new readers always welcome. I think I have eleven now.

@Paul - you're right of course. It's all well and good being more modern and inclusive, but it was so much easier sorting out who you liked and who didn't on the rudimenatry basis of booby

Yup the tell-tale signs of growing up are there for all to see... Kinda makes you miss the good old days ;-)
Handbag racism can be a good thing though, lets you know which women should be avoided at all costs !!!

Well, given my self appointed moniker I think you can guess where I stand. I too am a handbag racist, I reckon an obsession with labels is indicative of a certain frame of mind. I'm going to remain diplomatic. Recently found your blog BTW, like it.

2008-02-19T19:28:00.000Z

I'd say you're just confused. What kind of man really gives a shit about handbags at all?

Entertaining blog, btw, thanks. Consider yourself approved by BE.

Expensive handbag = expensive woman.
You are worth nothing to her without money!
Your not getting old, your tastes are maturing, that's all.
Mind you, I get annoyed with young lassies who insist on calling me 'dad!'
