Celebrity Attraction

So yesterday I went to the doctor.

We won't talk about that part.

My vajayjay was scheduled to get top billing for the day, but it wound up getting upstaged by the very scrumptious Coach bag that I was carrying - a small tote in white leather.  It's my absolute favorite, and I love that bag beyond reason.  I can't say I was ever a purse girl before I discovered Coach, but now I'm pretty much hooked.

The nurse that was weighing me noticed it first.  "Beautiful bag!  Is it Coach?"  She took a closer look at it, oohed and aahed a bit, and then took me back to the exam room.  She stopped another nurse on the way back there.  "Look at this bag!"  At which point they BOTH oohed and aahed.

The nurse who was in the room for my hoohoo check noticed it too, and by the time I had gotten back into my clothes and regained some semblance of my dignity, all of the girls at reception were demanding to see it too, talking about which ones they had, showing me someone's really cute pink and white twill Soho flap hobo (yes, I can actually tell you off the top of my head the names of most of the more recent styles - sad, I know), and pretty soon we were ass-deep in the kind of conversation that only certified Coach whores are capable of having.

This is the first time that's ever happened to me.  Coach bags are pretty much the norm around here for anyone 30 and up, but it's mostly soccer moms carrying the exact same signature tote as everyone else just because it's the Thing To Do (granted, there's a signature bag I have my eye on, but it's not a tote, and it's not just because everyone else carries signature...if anything, the fact that it's all over the place is a big reason why the ones I have so far AREN'T signature).  I've never seen another bag like my white tote on anyone else, and although I've had one or two casual compliments on it, I've never really gotten into a whole involved, purse-obsessed discussion.

Sometimes I mind that the ENTIRE rest of the world carries Coach, too, but at times like that, our collective fixation is fun.

Ahaahha.
My friend had her money stolen from the car and she told the cop it was a guy.
He asked, "How do you know?"
She replied, "Because a girl would have taken the whole purse."
It was a Coach.
