I apologize if this image is too graphic for some of you to bear. I realize it’s not a pretty sight. A Prada handbag mysteriously murdered. Cut down in the prime of its life. Dismembered at the strap. Brutal, simply brutal.
And the timing is awfully suspicious. Just the other day I was tagged by Josey at Stayin Silly Livin Lucky for a meme. The assignment? Reveal to the world what I carry in my purse. The very next day this senseless crime took place.
This purse was truly loved. My mother gave it to me for Christmas just last year. I remember fondly how we would spend our time together. Arm-in-arm we would venture out to conquer the tasks of the day. And now, besides being distraught with grief, I am completely discombobulated during my mourning period, forced to grab-n-go the former contents of my purse in a-la-carte fashion. Normally you could find the basics all in one place: cell phone, ipod, a loose car key, some scraggly dollar bills, lip gloss and every so often my digital camera.
But now it is with devastating sadness I must report to you…I got nada in my Prada.
But before I order the hearse for my purse maybe – just maybe – I should consider resuscitation. I did a little online window shopping and came up with the following options. So what do you think? Fix the Prada…or replace the ole bag with one of these:
My purse may be dead, but let's keep the meme alive....tag:
AntiBarbie (she is the kindest blogger on the entire world wide web and yet she has this really edgy, raw blog. I love her. I'm kinda hoping she tells me where to shove this meme)
Olga The Traveling Bra (my prediction? no purse. certainly she tucks it all in her brassiere)
Midlife Gals (because I know these ladies personally and they already have a drunken video blog that answers the meme)
Participate only if it's fun and you have the time...Happy Holidays Yall~

Hopped over from cre8buzz. Your poor Prada. You know, when the old one is gone, it means a better one is coming. I am creating a blogroll for cre8buzz community in my blog. Can I include your blog in my blogroll?
Bwahaha! Sorry for the slaying.
Oh that sucks so bad. Such a senseless crime. Really. I think you should fix the Prada. It would be worth it; such a good looking purse!
But, if you should see fit to replace my suggestion is the Red Telephone Purse. Much more chic than Prada, no?
(BTW: Adding you to my blog roll. Will you reciprocate?)
I really enjoy your site. Very humorous. I like your style. I have linked you to my blog.
This post made me laugh. I'm totally NOT into fashion anything, but this was cute!
Totally off topic:
You've been tagged
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD.. How can you put such horrors on your blog.. Your poor Prada.
hehehe I am a bag whore.. and if my fav broke right now I would cry. Literally.
As a guy... I have absolutely no worthwhile input to offer.
The Shoe! Replace it with the Elise Shoe!
I mean Elvis Shoe...I was all excited there I couldn't type.
Oh go with the chicken purse...It's gorgeous.
Happy Holidays.
I would go with the claw foot bag. It would go well with my mood these days.
GASP!!! Where's David Caruso when you need him?
Poor Prada :( The other bags are quite cute though :)
Merry christmas and A Happy New Year to you Christine!!!!
Wishing you all the best.
Ivy :)
Sorry about the Prada bag. But you seemed to have pretty fashionable replacement options there!
Anyway, here's wishing you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! Do have a lovely time!
First off sorry about the bag...my wife understands...second Merry Christmas and happy New Year!!!

It's impossible to replace a Prada with anything but another Prada, silly girl. (Although that phone purse is pretty cool.)
i'm in love with the shoe purse! it's so stinking cool! forget the prada...move on...personally, although your prada was lovely, i'm not a big fan but...love that shoe purse!!!
oh no,that is terrible!
I vote for the chicken purse. Hilarious!!

I stumbled upon your blog thru JJ's Dirty Laundry. I'll definitely be back. Anything that has "chicken fried" in the title is a great thing.
I would go for the jeans one if i were you. Mostly because it affords you a change of pants, and you never know when you're going to need a change of pants.
BTW, how do you do the whole "click here to read the rest" thing in blogger?
Hey honey:
I have something for you on my page... come see.
Oh my. Those are some ...interesting... bags. Found you via The Royal Banana award on Rachel's site - congrats!
HOLY CRAP! I didn't even feel that tag! ;) OK, this is gonna take some creative thinking on this BRAwds part....will get back to ya soon with the results!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
PS: I like the jeans purse.
Oh, no! My condolences. poor thing, so young and so pretty. SAD, SAD, SAD! Just so damn sad! But doesn't fancy 'ole Prada, offer any warranty? Coach does. Damn that reminds me I have to register my new purse, just incase it dies they fix it for free, for ever! cool huh. Great BLOG! Greeting From Big D!
Fabulous post! Oh that poor Prada. And hey...I definitely say go with the chicken purse for a replacement.
