Things in your purse

[Joan1965]

Hello there I need some advise on what to put in a purse. Thank you ladies!:o:love:

[Ms Victoria]

Hi ya, I throw in my complete wallet and a spare set of car keys. If I travel and I am staying in a hotel, I always get two key cards. Kleenex is also a good idea. That's the basics for me. I need to know that I can always get into my car and room. I dont think i would make a good damsel in distress:) I also throw in some foundation, face powder, blush and lipstick.

[Tracy_Victoria]

Spare set of Keys are no good if there both locked in the car. so be careful!

Cash is always good, as is plenty of fuel in the car and making sure the spare is not flat.

A bag with spare clothes (male) & make up remover is a good thing to carry too (unless you dressed in the car!) You'll be very suprized how quick you can go from male to female in an emergency.

In the purse, usual things makeup, comb/brush, etc. I normally have a spare wig to hand as well just in case.

[SweetCaroline]

Well the obvious, such as wallets, pens, and keys. When I go out I have two wallets. One is a girl wallet where I put all the cash I'm willing to spend, the other is the male wallet I usually carry around with my Ids and Credit cards. I hide it in the middle back, but it's easier than transferring all my legal stuff to my femme wallet. I also carry a small jewelry box, with a couple spare pairs of earrings, pins and such. Combs and brushes. And basic make-up. What ever I might need to touch up or get ready quickly on a long day--Powder, Eyeshadow, Mascara, Cheek Blush, and couple tubes of lipstick.

That and about ninety other things I collect as I go along. Girls are like that. :D

[unclejoann]

not only spare earrings, but spare earring posts (earrings are easier to find than posts that fall off).

also a sewing kit and a calculator and a measuring tape (all very light and useless for everyday use but good if you need them)

and an iPod

[joank]

I carry make up, including compact, eye liner, blush, lip stick, lipbalm, small perfume, tissue and hand loation. Also a wallet, check book, cell phone, car/house keys, sun glasses and hair brush. List to the left.

[Lorileah]

girl rule: the amount of stuff you carry expands to fill the size of the purse. My rule, small is better. Clutch wallet, lip stick and lip balm, blush, lip liner, spare key, secret money. three flash drives and an emery board.

I also keep an extra set of car keys and a wire hanger inmy trunk in case i get locked out of the car

:)

[Laura_Stephens]

I keep one of those collapsible hairbrushes in my unsex bag.

[PaulaJaneThomas]

Lipstick, comb, beer money :drink::drink::drink:

[Teri Jean]

Well first of is to determine how big of a purse do you want and then fill it. LOL Also as Paula said don't forget the beer money. LOL

Teri

[Seagull]

Actually it depends on which purse I have;
I have a variety of bags and the stuff will expand to fill the space I have found out the hard way.
I do have one bag made by Smith and Wesson that even has a place for my concealed carry permit and my .380 auto. I carry that where the permit covers geographically.

Generally though, Wallet, spare keys, mints, gum, lighter, cell phone, lippy, and compact mirror, and a small manicure kit are the staples with other items added as I travel.

[MistyCD]

If its a big purse, then carry a Brick

If its a smaller purse, then 2 railroad spikes taped together....



Ya never know when you might have to defend yourself from some idiot, molester, or jerk that wants to harrass you, by whacking them in the head!

[Ann Thomas]

I have a little purse, with just a bit of things in it - my wife is so jealous of it cuz it's so cute! I have a big one, and it has a few things not listed above, lol (no bricks or spikes!)

Here's my odd things not listed:
battery chargers for cell phone and camera.
Hi res camera (way better than my cell phone camera)
passport
birth certificate
emergency medical supplies - small kit from store with lots in it
essential oils (I'm trained in France as an aromatherapist)
medications (basics plus emergency doses of prescriptions)
flashlight
Drambuie

Haven't thought of carrying my gun. I have a 45 revolver I carry holstered when in the mountains due to lions and bears. (A big rock does just fine for rattlesnakes, no use wasting a bullet on them!) I used to work up at a huge farm at the base of Mt Hood, and the lions loved the area - they had a huge scratching post, 2 foot thick tree, ripped to shreds up to about 8 or 9 feet from the ground. Kinda makes you keep your hand on the gun when going near tall trees. I used to walk there every day. Never had to use the gun on them, though, they stayed away.

Anyway, my little purse has perfumes in it as well as eyeshadow.

Oh, and I always carry two sets of keys too. When under stress I tend to lock myself out alot. Second set has saved the day many times.

Hugs,
Ann

In addition to The Usual Crap, I will add three items I think are critical. 1.) A decent pair of small cuticle scissors. 2.) One of those cheapie sewing kits that comes in a little 2x3 inch plastic box. make sure it has a needle threader, buttons, a thimble, and of course needles and a variety of different colored thread. 3.) At least two safety pins.

Oh, and I just remembered a fourth item....an extra pair of stockings!

Women have known about these items forever. Unless you want to do it all by trial and error, heed the information that is being presented. Also encourage some of The GG's to participate, this is an area of expertise for The Ladies.

Peace and Love, Joanie
