The Purse Against America

Purse pride.

I want a purse. I know I usually start these things off with a pun or a turn of phrase, but not today. Today, I just want all of you to know that I, Nailsbails, would like to own a purse. Not a man purse, or a European handbag, but a fancy, decorative lady purse. Are we clear on this? Are we all on the same page now? Why I want a lady purse is not important…well, actually it is, because otherwise some of you will assume I’m testing the waters for a much longer conversation. I’m not. I’m merely expressing my appreciation for the modern lady purse’s harmonic balance of form and function. Think about it: you can stuff a lady purse with anything and still look classy. For all I know, the women I ride the subway with are all carrying bowling balls. They’re not on their way to work, they’re on their way to the State Bowling Championship. How awesome is that?! Meanwhile, us men are forced to carry our things in backpacks and plastic bags. All we need is a shopping cart and a collection of human hair to complete the look. I’m a grown-up, yet I still have to carry my workout clothes in a backpack because I’m a man. How unfair is that? Just once, I’d like to climb aboard the E-train with a $400 slim tote (relax, it’s a knock-off) hanging on my shoulder without the whole world looking at me like I’m some kind of pariah. Is that too much to ask? Don’t answer that.
