    Yesterday I took my 10 yr old niece out to lunch. We had a great day but when we came out of the parking lot I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking and I tripped over one of those curb bumper thingies to stop the wheels of a car. I fell forward onto my knee, then fell forward onto my face! My Gryson was in front of me!!! I thought I broke my knee the pain was so bad but darn it if the 1st thing I did was get up and look at my bag! Scuffs all over it from the Cement!:crybaby:

    My neice is screaming "Aunt Lala, are you okay?" And I'm thinking "Oh My poor bag!"....LOL:wtf:

    First thing I did was get home and use Balenciaga Conditioner on it and buffed it like crazy. Looks brand new like nothing ever happened. I thought it was a goner for sure. I made sure my Hubby saw the bag and how I fixed it up. Then I showed him the 4 x 2 inch black & Blue on my Knee. Wonder if Balenciaga Conditioner would help that? :shame:

    OMG! You poor thing!!

    But I totally know what you mean.

    I scrubbed once (long, complicated story, LOL) and the first thing I did was to check my slacks for holes. Heck, the scrapes and bruises will heal, right?!?!

    I hope your bruises heal fast and I am so glad to hear your were able to buff out the screatches! :flowers:

    I'd love to hear stories from others who have such skewed priorities as I do. And the reaction of people around them. My husband was really happy I cleaned up the bag but he never knew I even hurt myself. He was aghast when I showed him my bag first.
    Today I am limping around with a very stuff knee, but I'm okay because I've got my new Gryson Tate on my arm!!! :nuts: What a great bandaid!

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one....

    I was leaving work and convincing my dog to leave with me. You'll see her in my avatar. And I was walking backwards like a fool; the step was a lot closer than I thought it was. I managed to twist and fall, hurting my knees, hands and back. However I was much more worried about my pants - ripped out at both knees, and my favorite brown ankle boots - toes completely scuffed.
    Both the shoes and the pants were complete losses. But it did give me an oportunity to buy new boots - which I did in both black and brown. My husband then accused me of falling on purpose just so I could shop. :shame:

    Hope your knee is healing fast, Lexie. It's really unfortunate...but at least your bag is fixed up and saved, :smile: Guess that might lift the physical pain a little bit. Or, should we now think in this way: bags cannot heal themselves, but our bodies can......thus the bags get more attention than ourselves? :sweatdrop:

    And, congratulations for your Gryson Tate! Any pics?

    I guess we can stop worrying about our bags when they start offering "bag insurance" or free yearly preventative Bag MRI's....LOL

    I posted another thread about the Tate with pics.

    Lexie - your cat is gorgeous!!!

    When I was 16 I worked at KFC and had just washed the floor. It was slick but I'd dealt with that before. I was carrying a container of baked beans and SLIPPED...I fell right onto my hip.

    But not one drop of those beans came out because I refused to let them go. ROFL I didn't want to have to redo the floors!

    I realize that is nothing compared to a purse, but I know if I were to fall holding my purse I'd definitely sacrifice my body to save it damage!!!

    Oh, my...Lexie! You have had a few bag accidents lately...I remember your Botkier with coffee stains...Hope that your knee injury heals quickly. I know all too well how that is since I am still recovering from 2 knee injuries in two months. Both knees! Take care of your knees...and those precious handbags!
