apparently theres a picture of us from that night (after many drinks) on a Vancouver club website captioned "crazy Seattlites".. . 

I found this picture once on tumblr and never hit 'follow' or remembered the username BUT I screenshotted this to save as a home renovation idea. I also remember there was a Seattle hashtag... 

ANY IDEA WHOSE TUMBLR THIS BELONGS TO!? 

I carry a lot of stuff and I'm sure a lot of other women do as well, so I don't understand the women who can get through a day with her single, itty-bitty handbag. Purses just don't cut it for me. I need to carry around a big, structured bag that can hold the weight of my belongings and be durable enough to handle my daily shuffle and scuffle. My bag collection includes bowling bags, carry-on travel bags, Panam bags, Samsonite bags, etc... I dig those cute, boxy cross-body's, but they're all so tiny; it can only carry your phone (non-galaxy) and some loose change!

                                                                                                        I love you, Kate Spade, for making the cutest boxy purses...but 1. I can't afford them and 2. it's too damn tiny! They're so creative, unique and kitschy and as tempting as it is to buy that $300.00 magazine clutch, it's not practical for my lifestyle. Being a grungy hoyden, I'd just look like someone who picked up a rolled up copy of The Stranger from the trash and totally ruin the elegance of the clutch. It'll probably work in New York, but not in Seattle.

My suitcase of a bag is starting to wear out and I'm in a desperate search for a replacement before my old bag disintegrates and creates an embarrassing scene in the streets where all my belongings come crashing through the bottom of my bag.

                                          I recently found this on Svvply; it's called a Randoseru. It's a traditional book bag for elementary school children in Japan -- red for girls and black for boys (traditionally) but now it comes in all different colors. Randoseru originates from the Dutch word "ransel," which is "backpack". Its standard size is about 11.8''x9''x7'' designed to carry books for all six classes of an elementary school student, its durability exceptional. Because randoserus' are used by children in Japan, they are a symbol of childhood in that country. Knowing the history and culture of this bag, I would feel dorky carrying a Japanese "kiddie" bag. But, from the eyes of someone who's never heard of it, would it be appropriate to use it as an everyday bag? How awkward would it be to come across a Japanese elementary student??
