This was actually named “Ole Burgundy Beauty Purse” but I felt the need to omit the word “beauty” and replace it with “beastly”…I’m sure you can see why! But what a great idea of a handbag — hey, if you throw up on it, nobody will notice!! So what the heck? Just take it out with you on your next drunken party and just use it as a barf bag…for all your drunken friends…I’m sure they will appreciate it and your handbag will still retain its original “beauty”.
What a terrific bargain for $48 US!!

Okay, I’ll bite:
Sorry, but that sucker is over-priced by about $47.75. As it is, I’d be afraid that a well-meaning friend (drunk or sober, it doesn’t really matter) will draw a weapon and fill it full of lead, in the sad, mistaken notion that it’s attacking me and needs to be stopped. This Roger Corman/Ed Wood reject needs to be ignored as much as possible—maybe it will go back to the planet it came from. . .

Perhaps it’s time we all stopped and reviewed the word “freeform”. IOW anything
from your scrap basket is NOT necessarily a work of art waiting to happen, not matter
WHAT those nice book selling ladies say.
But…strangely it’s growing on me. I think it wants to communicate. HELP!

My mother-in-law had one of those growing in her refrigerator.

Hey, they left off the googly eyes!

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know better than to make such a thing?

Once upon a time my washing machine drain clogged up. So I reached in the drain to ream it out. There was hair, bits of fibers from the different fabrics I work with, one dead rat and one very alive centipede crawling out from the middle of the mass. I had almost willed myself to forget the horror of that day. It all came back with Technicolor clarity. The only difference being that the dead rat/living centipede didn’t have a handle coming out if it. Next time I will know…put a handle on it and call it a purse!

I saw one of these on an episode of “Flapper Girls Gone Wild.” I wonder if Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, etc saw these? Looks like a Chihuahua would fit.

This looks like a work of art. I like it. I would carry it with a simple black evening gown.

I think 48 dollars is way to much for this, but i do like the purse, its very creative.

Perfect for Mardi Gras!!! You could only get away with wearing it if you pass it off as a bead bag (bag to carry your catch of moonpies and beads!) Only way…Ever. The color scheme really is perfect for mardi gras
