You all know me. I'm not 'subtle'. My hair is pretty & long now, I have TONS of curls, and my wife is appreciative & jealous.

About a month ago I was in AC Moore and found some really pretty shoulder bags on the cheap. (The ones I liked at TJ Maxx were $100+ after 'discount'!)
In went my wallet, cash, my keys, my phone, a pen, my emergency battery, my nail kit, a comb, barrettes, hair elastics, wipes, my 'loyalty keyfobs' for stores. a shopping list, a calendar.

How did I used to do this with pockets?
I have been doing a purse as daily public wear for over a month. It is pink and yellow and purple and geometric. It is soft and pretty and has lots of pockets.
Not a single frack was given that day, or other days.
I'm just shakin' what my Momma gave me....

I was deep in 'Theater District' downtown Boston today to help my boy with a project he volunteered for. While passing the time on Boston Common I observed this pretty black woman with blond hair and all kinds of confidence.
She was one of us. She was built like me. NO boobs, NO hips. She wore nice grey slacks, a translucent white top and a white/grey sports bra beneath it. She looked *fierce*. Totally confident, I smiled her way, hoping for the linkup, but I honestly think the chip on her shoulder prevented her from seeing it.
No matter, I was so stoked to see one of ME walking the walk and looking for challengers!
/swoon... pretty girl!
