Now the ones of you that know me a little bit know that I don’t usually
like shopping, neither for clothes but especially not for handbags. I don’t even have one of my own so if I need one
for a wedding for example I have to borrow it from a friend (or a friend’s
friend). There is no need for me to drag along such an accessory because my
lipstick is still on the shelve at the beautician’s, my nail polish, too, my
make-up supplies are still waiting for me to finally come to the conclusion
that I really have to buy them (after all they might not be so wrong considering my
increasing age and the wrinkles that come along with it).

Back to the handbag
that I don’t need and don’t want and don’t like… there is an exception that I
want (not necessarily need) badly. The other day I saw a cute Versace bag
sitting on the shelve blinking at me begging me to buy it. And I did! The fact
that I was shopping at a “System bolaget” (which is basically a liquid store;
you can’t buy any alcohol in a normal shop in Sweden so you need to go to such a
System bolaget) might help you to understand why I wanted this Versace bag so much. And when
looking at it in greater detail it is not a Versace bag but a Vernissage bag. Still it helds good for my own first real handbag including a sparkling gem on the
front (and I don’t particularly like sparkling, glossing, shiny things, and no,
my dear hubby, not even on my ring finger. Lucky him, that saves him a lot of
money, doesn’t it?).

So what’s it all
about this handbag? It is very elegant, has a perfect size, is quite
comfortable to drag along, but the best of it is its content: 1.5 liters of
white wine! What’s not to love here? And even better (that only occurred
to me at a later stage when some of the content was already in my body equals brain): if I ever have
to attend a mind-numbing birthday/wedding/put your most dreaded event here I
simply take an inconspicuous sip (or two) of my bag and whoops! Things will
change from dull to at least a tad more interesting. I have to be careful about
the quantity though – too much of that whine might lead to quite embarrassing moments
(ever seen me dancing on a table while singing karaoke songs? Not a nice view I
can tell you, and definitely NOT inconspicuous anymore).
If you ever get
invited to an event that you know will bore you to tears I’ll gladly lend you
my Versace bag and the party will turn out ok.
