Pilates, what to do???? After speaking to you, i found another hg. Help! I can't say what it is yet. But i suppose something is going to have to go in my collection.
So you think the 06 is nice. I have 2 other close-up pics. But it's not an 05?
Do you still have your 05's? Are they thick and smooshy?

pilatesworks · Jun 9th, 2009, 04:22 PM

Yes, I have both 05's, they are pretty incredible.
The smooth one is like velvet and has really thick leather, the distressed one is not as thick but is very soft and wrinkly. I think that 05 leather is something special, and I kind have the impression that while 06 is pretty darn nice, it is not quite the same as 05.
We need someone to weigh in that has seen both an 05 and 06 Black City!
I have never seen an 06 Black City IRL, so it is hard to compare!
Maybe you should get your other HG right now and then wait for your perfect 05!
Is your new HG RH too?

fuchsiafirefly · Jun 9th, 2009, 04:33 PM

NO, MY NEW HG IS GSH AND A BROWN COLOR. sshhhh!!! THAT'S MY PROBLEM, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE O6 BLACKS. I HAVE 2 06'S, CAMEL AND LILAC. AND THEY ARE THINNER. BUT THE 06 BLACK WORK LOOKED SO DARN GOOD THAT I DECIDED TO GET IT. I HAD TO PUT IT ON LAYAWAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT DH TO HAVE A FIT. I HOPE IT FEELS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS. AND I NOW WANT TO TRY A TWIGGY. LATER, DOWN THE ROAD. I NEED TO STOP FOR AWHILE.

pilatesworks · Jun 9th, 2009, 04:46 PM

Oh, I might know what your HG is.....! Cannot wait to hear.....!
So wait, you got an 06 Black Work? I thought you were looking at Citys?
Twigs are fun,too small for me but very sweet!

Melissa, you def should run away, at least for an hour and get a massage or a pedi or something!

Thanks! I'll have to investigate LMB and whether I could send it from overseas. I guess I could. Off to look.... :)

fuchsiafirefly · Jun 9th, 2009, 06:07 PM

I bought the 06 black work that was on bagpassion. It was calling me! Now i want a rh city.
The twiggy's are smaller? How small? I noticed some of the older colors are mostly twiggys. Do you still have your twigs?

lilmissb · Jun 9th, 2009, 06:27 PM

^I think the twiggy is almost the same size as the city.

I got some sizes off ebay:
Twiggy - 15" x 7.5" x 6.5".
City - 10"H x 15"L x 5.5"W

pilatesworks · Jun 9th, 2009, 07:22 PM

double post!

pilatesworks · Jun 9th, 2009, 07:28 PM

In the reference thread Twigs are listed as being a bit smaller in height: 15 x 7 x 6.5
It is true tho that you can get pretty much the same amount in both, the shape is just very different.....I do not have any more of my Twigs left except my Eggplant.
Fuschia, Congrats on the 06 Work! You are coming over to the RH side!
It is true, the RH`s are alot more casual and at the same time edgy/cool!

lilmissb · Jun 9th, 2009, 08:15 PM

I've been looking at too many bags and now I feel like I NEED a PT!!! ARGH!! :blink:

melissab · Jun 9th, 2009, 08:21 PM

Fushia, I had an 06 black city... it started turning green on me :(

pilatesworks · Jun 9th, 2009, 08:46 PM

ohhh, MB, what did you do about that?
Hey lilmissb, sounds like YOU had better get yourself a PT then!

darlinga · Jun 9th, 2009, 08:57 PM

Hi guys! I wanted to drop in and say hi and that I haven't bailed on ya! Doc classes are KILLING me. I barely have time to check and respond to emails, let along play on tpf.

I miss all the chatter!

pilatesworks · Jun 9th, 2009, 09:02 PM

DARLINGA! Hi sweetie, I have missed you so much!
Melissa B just dropped in too, you have both been away MUCH too long!
Tho I understand you are very busy with your doctorate, congrats to you for pursuing your dream!
How are things doing? hope DH and Harley are OK! XXXXXbig hugs!

darlinga · Jun 9th, 2009, 09:16 PM

Les! Things are great! Busy but great! I presented my dissertation topic and it didn't get ripped apart, so I'm having a good week!

DH is good and Harley is bad as ever! We are walking in a fundraising dog walk on Saturday. I've already threatened that he must behave or else no treats for a week!
