Im 25 and just purchased my first BBag at the beginning of April. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with my BF (no ring yet either, ChiChi) & two dogs.

Hello ladies!! I'm so happy this thread is a success! It's nice to know there are others out there who feel alone with their shopping. Sometimes I think I have a serious problem. I keep promising everyone that my next bag is the LAST....but it never is. I'm fairly new here and though I was always a shopper, thousand dollar bags are a new and dangerous discovery of mine.

Nice to meet you all...glad you are enjoying the thread

Hi i'm 23, currently in lawschool, married and has one crazy babygirl. haha

. I am very fortunate for having a very loving DH who understands my addiction to bals.. Not that he pays for it though because I save up to support my addiction but when i get short, he chips in $$$ from time to time..

CandyJanney · Apr 20th, 2009, 01:41 PM

I just turned 28 so I'm in this group! I'll have been married 2 years in June and my husband is in grad school and hates it lol. There is no way in hell I'll go back to school. No sir. HATED it.

hideherscars · Apr 20th, 2009, 01:43 PM

Hey.. glad to see I'm not the youngest here

Tied with purplewithenvy at 20 years old. I'm from New Jersey and going to college here for music engineering. Currently interning at a recording studio in NYC also, so I'm hoping to move there once I graduate. I own only one Bbag at the moment but craving many more!

angelalam5 · Apr 20th, 2009, 02:08 PM

Great thread! I'm 25, (26 in July) working as a Sr. Account Manager at a major bank here in Canada. My boyfriend thinks I'm nuts as well, and refers to any bag that is not a neutral as a "big bag of puke". Like every most Canadian men though, he lives and breathes hockey, which leaves plenty of time for TPF and online shopping!!

phathoe · Apr 20th, 2009, 02:38 PM

I'm 27 and have been married for over 2 years. I'm also a proud mom to a 20 month old son. I love my bbags and I'm hooked for good!
I'm from Toronto - and my husband is just like angelalam5's bf, lives, breathes, and plays hockey. So lots of time for TPF. *LOL*

phathoe · Apr 20th, 2009, 02:41 PM

I'm a 26 year old attorney living in NYC. I got my first Bal in January 2006, but have been in love with them probably since 2004/2005.

Bags4Bubbles · Apr 20th, 2009, 02:57 PM

Fun thread! I'm turning 26 in two weeks, married, & no kids. I just finished my Master's degree and if I had to do it all over again... don't know if I would get one again.

Prior to starting my MBA, I owned a dance studio and dancewear company that I sold before we moved where we are now.

I've loved the look of Bals before I owned them... but got my first one in 2006 and it's been downhill ever since then!

...hence the very clever username of "elle woods" huh? Love it. Just love it. Do you have a cute chihuahua too?

I'm 26, graduated in 07 with nothing fancy. A degree in Public Relations, Communications and a minor in Business.

I have a BF of what, like 5 years now? We're still going strong. We at SJSU in Human Sexuality class. Imagine that!

I work in the insurance field and hope to become an agent some day soon.

I'm 23 from Vancouver, Canada. Graduated college about 3 years ago and have been working in the IT industry ever since. It has helped fund my shopping addiction

I recently bought my first balbag but definately not the last!! Already planning my second bag

yoglood · Apr 20th, 2009, 03:46 PM

I'm a 27 year old attorney from the Bay Area. I've been in love with Bal for YEARS! but only recently can I afford to purchase these beauties

My bf doesn't understand my obsession, but he's still supportive nonetheless!

muzilulu · Apr 20th, 2009, 04:10 PM
