Chinsumo, no problem, I know that wasn't your intent. Just wanted to nip it in the bud.

Anyway, I almost NEVER see YSL bags in D.C., though I live on the Hill and don't get to Georgetown/NW as much as you do...

thanks cosmo!

Understood. Also, what would we do if we ever ran into each other in public, somewhere in DC? Smile knowingly at each other and move on, or strike up conversation? Either scenario intrigues me. haha. Or, we could just hit up the nearest bar and get ourselves cosmopolitans.

Hah! Well, you know what bags I own, but I know both what bags you own and what you look like from your tPF piccies, so I'd have the upper hand.

Either way, I think we'd go drink ourselves silly.

I'm in Capitol Hill, too, and I agree with Cosmopolitan that you don't see YSL around here but I have seen various bags in Dupont Circle and Georgetown, mostly Muses. In fact, I specifically remember one night we were going to dinner at Lauriol Plaza and while we were having pre-dinner drinks I spotted three Muses just in the bar area. I believe I had my Catwalk that night, so there were at least four YSLs in that one location.

I've seen Muses elsewhere, too, and I know I've seen a paint gesso Raspail and a black Downtown. I always expect to see some YSL while I'm bopping around Friendship Heights, as chinsumo has, but nothing yet!

OK Cosmopolitan and Chinsumo, you are both making me want to come visit you in DC to go have drinks and do some bag scouting!!! I'm American, but living overseas and would love to have fun "YSL toting" friends to come see in DC. I miss so many of my favorite American places. DC is right up there near the top. Love your city!

I saw a petite woman with long curly brown hair carrying a medium black leather muse (it looked black in the dim light) outside of Grand Central Terminal tonight...She had some sort of tassel hooked on it.

chinsumo · Oct 22nd, 2008, 10:19 PM

Cosmo, you would indeed have the upper hand. I just hope you don't spot me and RUN. hahaha. And, getting drinks sounds prrrfect to me.

Shazam, I love Lauriol Plaza, I used to go there all the time. I remember when I was at GW, I went there for Cinqo De Mayo last year, and this crazy drunk lady pushed me out of the way near the entrance, and then fell head first into the glass door. It was only 6:30, why was she drunk already?

benr, feel free to join us anytime!!

chinsumo · Oct 22nd, 2008, 10:20 PM

This was not in 'the wild' per se, but I just watched that new show Stylista, and Ann Slowey had a volcano leather besace in bronze. She was also wearing a YSL star necklace. Fabulous.

betty'sgirl · Oct 22nd, 2008, 11:30 PM

i have spotted several women with the downtown. love it

toosan · Oct 23rd, 2008, 04:35 AM

yesterday I was at a fashion event, and with all those beautifl MJ bags, fendis, bottegas making me drool, I saw an ostrich skin rive gauche swoon passed me, I think our local Malaysia celebrity was carrying it, it was really really fabulous. I think it was beigi? I tried to get a picture of it, but it wasn't clear cause she kept sawing the bag, i'll try upload them soon!

Melissa Ann · Oct 23rd, 2008, 07:31 AM

I WISH I'd seen that RG Toosan!!!!!!

toosan · Oct 23rd, 2008, 09:27 AM

bubbleloba · Oct 23rd, 2008, 12:05 PM

Looks like I have a bus twin.

There's a woman that takes the same bus as me every morning (she gets on a few stops after mine) and we have identical medium black downtowns.
