Never Is the Next New Thing

Peek Into My Prada

by

Big Glasses Girl and Gnarlitude Jen tagged me to name six things in my handbag. My favorite Prada bag has made an appearance on this blog before. Here it is, enjoying lunch with its identical twin.

This bag is roomier than it looks. I’m carrying:

1.
The basket of bread from the lunch photo. Why let perfectly good food go to waste?

2. A live pigeon. Ugh! You know how they love bread crumbs.

3. A six-pack of beer. I never know when I might need to get my drink on.

4. A UFO. Unidentified Fashion Object.

5. Um, I’m just holding this for someone else.

6. A few million dollars worth of gold, so I can get some work done at home.

Now I’m supposed to tag six more bloggers, but nowadays these tags are more epidemic than herpes and it’s hard to find someone who isn’t already infected. Sigh. I think Jenn is still clean, so I tag her. I’m also dying to know what PAD carries in that cute Miu Miu hobo he wears to his job at Lucky Cheng’s. Christine at Fashionably Challenged seems to have some time on her hands. Lynn needs to post more often anyway. My Delurking post flushed Pomegranate and Patchouli out of hiding. My final victim is Plain Jayne, because her blog name reminds me of Henry teh 8’s third wife Jane Seymour. Have fun, y’all!

  1. lol…yeah, I guess being unemployed is good for something. my bag probably isn’t as interesting as yours, though.

    p.s. thanks for holding onto my oxy.

  2. bwahahaha…aces for a creative post Wendy! Lighthearted and the pictures were quite entertaining!

  3. hah! I knew someone would admit to it – boullion is perfect for toning the upper arms. And you never got back to me – was that your B necklace I saw on Ugly Betty this week (new episode or not I wasn’t sure0?

  4. Sadly, that’s not MY B necklace, but a relatively inexpensive and very literal reproduction of the clunky Anne Boleyn portrait piece. Whereas mine is an expensive and beautiful artistic interpretation of the Boleyn pendant..one that doesn’t get any publicity. Why must I always strive for high quality? Why?

  6. you should do a collab with H&M. That would send sales through the roof; hey, if it’s good enough for kaiser karl…

  7. BBG, I appreciate your vote of confidence and your sweet but deluded belief that the WendyB name has any drawing power for the masses 😉

  8. Think of it. You could have your poison ring emit the ‘poison’ that is turning fingers green. Total marketing catch.

  10. Hah! My Communist friend would commend you for the PBR, he says it’s truly the working man’s beer.

  12. I am sensing a major B theme in your Bag:
    1. Bread
    2. Bird
    3. Beer
    4. Bizarre UFO (OK that’s a stretch but I’m on a roll here and I’m trying to overcome my lurking tendencies so give me a break)
    5. Buzz
    6. Bullion
    Kinda makes me want the B necklace even though I have no Bs in any of my names – by the way, what is the standard for that necklace? Last initial? Yours is far more elegant than either Anne’s or Betty’s.

  15. It’s good to see a nice assortment of bread in your bag… I see you have boules, rye, baguettes and poppy seed loaf…. as I said a nice selection…

  16. Melissa O, pretty much everyone besides me would do their first initial. Obviously Anne Boleyn’s necklace represented her last name and mine does too. The first time I saw the painting of her wearing that necklace I knew someday I would have one of my own. It took me about 30 years to get it but still!
    Iron Chic, that sucks, but for a really sucky homeless dude story, let me tell you about the time I saw a homeless woman giving a blow job to a homeless man on a brownstone stoop off Park Avenue.
    Caroline, Altamira and Bitterbabe,thank you.
    Bobblebee, Christine says it’s hers, you guys better work this out.
    Heather, don’t tell him I’m REALLY carrying Corona and a bunch of limes.
    PrincessPolly, he says he recognizes you too and is sorry he never called after your date.
    Susie, I like to have a variety since I never know what I’ll be in the mood for.

  18. My belle Ms Brandes, what can I say… errr… I’ll work on it??

    Thanks, now I’ll proudly tell everyone I’m finally catching up with the trend (epidemic?), LOL!

  19. Wow those things will take you just about anywhere and you have lots of things to throw if you’re ever mugged. The pidge being the most dangerious weapon with sharp claws and beak paired with the skeeve-out factor. Whip that out and no one will mess with you.

  23. Man, my purse is always full of hatred for my fellow man, but that’s hard to find a picture of. I’ll do my best.

  25. Oh, Miss Woo, do you only love me for my beer?
    Lunch Lady, the word “pidge” is just excellent.
    PAD, Oh, is that your hatred of your fellow man in your pocket? I thought you were just glad to see me.

  30. how in the world did the bread remain intact? i was sure the gold would have flattened everything. this bag has great compartments :p

  32. LOL, IYF. Yep, I’m just trying to keep you entertained during the day when you’re not undergoing audits. Was that really a financial audit or was it related to Scientology?
