Hey all --
So I recieved my sexbomb, and I must admit -- it was not love at first site. The color was a little more muted and mustardy than I expected (even in my photographs, it looks brighter than it really is). I was hoping for more of a shine, like a shine that the black crunch has.

The sexbomb is a new style for me; walkling around the house, I can envision the functionality of the back pocket, as well as the two front pockets.

As I stare at it more and more, it's growing on me -- I do L-O-V-E the silver hardware.

I'm going to los angeles next weekend, and hopefully I'll meet some tanos in person. I'm still looking for something orange, but am now gunshy about ordering on-line. If I find something new, the sexbomb may still go back.
What do you guys think?

Oh, Kaz! She's lovely! (And your hair!!!! I'm so jealous haha) She looks absolutely lovely on you.

I don't own a Sex Bomb (not hobo-y enough for me) but she looks terrific on you for sure.

I love the lacing detail on the side. And I do agree w/ you on the silver hardware...it looks amazing.

lovebaseball · Jul 31st, 2009, 02:09 PM

I think it looks really really good on you! The dandelion color works with your coloring so well.. because I'm blonde I think it wouldn't work on me. The silver hardware does look awesome. I have a black sex bomb and love it!

love t his bag in any shade of yellow. And I dont usually like yellow.

I love the dandelion color. Its not as bright and summery as the "lemon" from this spring/summer. Its a more year round, rich color.

Celts20 · Jul 31st, 2009, 03:47 PM

Love the color and it looks great on you.

kazmodo · Jul 31st, 2009, 03:54 PM

I agree that it's more year round yellow -- I think I just wanted that bright lemon-y yellow....again, I think it's growing on me...thanks for all of your comments....god the silver hardware looks good....

KittyBag · Jul 31st, 2009, 04:12 PM

Sexbomb is a great bag.. I swoon for yellow, but it has to be love for you to keep it. Seeing a bunch of Tano's in person is really fun! The first time I did.. I ran around the store naming colors and bags .. and turned out I knew more than the store employees did. Take pictures of your adventure in LA for us!

kmh1190 · Jul 31st, 2009, 09:26 PM

Gorgeous! I have this bag too (we're bag twins). Its a very cheery yellow with very subtle mustardy tones to it. It looks great on you!

LuvAllBags · Jul 31st, 2009, 10:23 PM

I love it, but then it was the SB that brought me to Tano in the first place. I love the yellow color too.

TygerKitty · Jul 31st, 2009, 11:59 PM

I love the sexbomb! It looks great on you but I do prefer a more sunshiney yellow... my pineapple minilisa is a tad brighter than the dandelion color and I'm happy with it. I wish I could see lemon drop in person!

Congrats!

Hey all - thought I'd add on my second reveal here, since I ordered this and the sexbomb on the same day.
1. Sorry about my sweaty clothes... I go the gym right after work, and when I got home and got my package, I couldn't wait and I didn't think you guys should either.
2. For years, I have been lamenting the fact that no one makes wallets with straps...I carry a big bag usually, and sometimes I just want to grab my walllet when I run in the grocery store or something... and I always want a wristlet strap or shoulder strap. I thought this may fit the bill.
It's a little large for an everyday wallet, but the card and coin organization make it better than a standard clutch.
3. I'm usually not a green person, but this was all they had. Actually, the lawn green is quite pretty.

And now, I present, the rock royalty clutch
beautifully packaged from an ebay seller (that's a shadow in the corner)

Next to my marc jacobs zip clutch (with strap!!) for size comparison....

Odebdo · Aug 3rd, 2009, 10:04 PM

Ohhh...that clutch is perfect...looks like a bigger bad kitty, with the credit cards slots!!! Great score!!

I have a Sexbomb...and to be honest...I am not sure it is "me"...and lord knows I love the color as it is blue...so if it does not grow on you and you CAN return it, think on doing so and finding the one you LOVE! I do love the hardware...and yellow looks great! And if it has grown on you...then wear it well...as it looks great on you!

Celts20 · Aug 3rd, 2009, 10:08 PM

It DOES remind me of the Bad Kitty... and LOVE the lawn color. Enjoy!

Joan

Voodoo · Aug 3rd, 2009, 10:09 PM

OMG! I love it!!!!!! It's awesome! I love the size... perfect for being out without being a huge clutch.

TygerKitty · Aug 3rd, 2009, 11:06 PM

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and the green is gorgeous!!!
