Fashion Victims

I don't get it. I'll admit it. What's with those bags that are for sale everywhere in the city right now? You know the ones that look like a flapper threw up in technocolor. Some in frightful pink, others in ghastly yellow, and even others in multi-color atrocities.

I went shopping for one of these bags this weekend with two friends of mine who work in the fashion industry. They were buying one for a friend of theirs as a joke. At the same time, they were worried that their friend might actually like it.

In case you are looking for one of these shoulder monsters, don't get taken. They tried the stalls in Chinatown, a number of tables on the streets, and even a few stands at a street fair. Prices ranged from $12 to $20. Make sure you get a good deal, because this fad won't last long. When it ends, maybe you can chop yours up and make a sexy dress for your Barbie.
