I've carried it four times, and it already has a bit. Especially when there's stuff in it. I photographed it empty, so it looks wider than it does when it's worn.

Just what I wanted to hear! :)

I swear, I never bump my own threads, but someone PMed me asking for modeling pics to help judge EM sizes.

Actually, I never do modeling pics, so this one's a total one-off. Not happening ever again, as I hate pics of myself.

This is the regular size EM listed on BEC. I'm 6 ft tall, and not skinny.

You might be 6ft tall and not skinny, but you are darned difficult to see

lanasyogamama · Sep 1st, 2009, 10:28 AM

Well you're not fat either! And the bag rocks.

tenKrat · Sep 1st, 2009, 06:35 PM

You look great with the bag, gga. I like the bag, and I like the scarf!

bonniekir · Sep 1st, 2009, 07:51 PM

Excuse me, can you actually see a picture??

I was joking, because I see nothing!

tlloveshim · Sep 1st, 2009, 07:57 PM

I see the thumbnail, Bonnie but the picture doesn't load when I click on the thumbnail to enlarge it.

But from the thumbnail that I can see, it looks lovely.

Moonstarr · Sep 1st, 2009, 09:56 PM

gga, it looks lovely on you! I love the matte mandarin leather ... so gorgeous!

fabae · Sep 1st, 2009, 10:09 PM

I can't see anything either, but it's a gorgeous bag nonetheless!

Moonstarr · Sep 1st, 2009, 10:39 PM

I'll try to make the photos larger for people who can't view them larger than thumbnails.

capulet · Sep 1st, 2009, 11:03 PM

Ooh, thank you, Moonstarr! Now I recognize the scarf! You look great with your gorgeous mandarin EM, gga!

bonniekir · Sep 2nd, 2009, 02:59 AM

Well, I did not even get a thumbnail, BUT now I can see this gorgeous bag!

I would def. want this size!!

Thanks for posting gga

gga · Sep 2nd, 2009, 06:20 AM

oh man guys, and now you see the other reason I steer clear from cameras and photo technology. I have some bad mojo that messes up pics like nobody else. I didn't realize they were so small!

Thanks for fixing them, Moonstarr. And thank you all for the kind compliments. I had changed all my EM orders to the oversized, and now I'm rethinking the whole thing. The regular is really plenty big.

gga-"The regular is really plenty big"..a lot of my bags are in fact too big, but what would you recommend ?..I am somewhat oversized in front..lol..and wearing a hobo type of bag w/ "normal" dimensions can cause twistings and turnings for me just to reach into it....this is also one of the reasons for not really jumping on this style alltough it is nice!
