:smile1: Thanks trama!

Lulu, they went on sale around this time last year at Barney's BH. They had apple green and sky ones as well for the same price. :nuts: I was so excited I think I posted the sale on tPF at the time. I'll keep an eye peeled for you it I see any more ;)

*sigh* I've been wanting one ever since I got all hooked on these Bbags, but I keep missing them on eBay. :crybaby: I just want one in a color with enough spice that they'll contrast really well with my Bbag family... Is that too much for a girl to ask for? Is it? :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

trama, I saw a metallic red on ebay some time ago, and as usual, was way too slow....does this count as a strange color?

If there's ever an eggplant boobie, I wonder what it'll go for!!

OMG ... a Metallic Rouge would be extremely rare (from the '04/05 Holiday Collection)! I don't know when Balenciaga started making the Boobies, but I do remember an advert in one of the fashion mags (Bazaar perhaps?) which featured the Orange Metallic with the matching Orange Metallic Boobie/Planet.

I got my first one in 2004, purchased at Harvey Nichols in London ... it was actually attached to my Black Shoulder (yes - it's Black Leather with Brass Hardware). That started me on the path!!!

The 2nd one was an '05 White, which I attached to my '05 White Weekender (which I ended up selling - along with the '05 Coin Purse to a tPF member).

Since that time, I've added the following:

1) '05 - Apple Green
2) '05 - Silver Metallic
3) '05 - Bronze Metallic
4) ?? - Lt. Brown Pebble Leather with White Stitching
5) '05 - Sky Blue
6) ?? - Black Leather & White Canvas
7) ?? - Black Leather & Navy Canvas
8) '05 - Magenta

The Magenta one is actually kind of a funny story. I was the original owner who sold it to Donna. Donna must have sold it to another tPF'er ... who put it up on eBay and guess who was the buyer ... ME! I knew it was mine because inside the boobie, was the leopard print stuffing paper!! It's my plan to (eventually) get a Magenta bag to match!

Alas, from my perspective, I'm a little sad that they have become so popular as I was able to scoop them up a lot easier a few years ago (when they were much more plentiful!). Now ... it's really hard to get them ... and yes, "Trama" ... I too wish I could get one in Red!!

Here's my only boobie, a Silver one (like in CeeJay's collection)...I guess that makes me a uni-boob gal?? :laugh::upsidedown:

I wish they still made them also. I'd like to trade my Cafe Day for a City and use a boobie as a strap extender. So, that limits me to an older bag brown bag. It's not the end of the world but it sure makes it more difficult to find and probably more costly. If they still made the boobie then I could just get the City and a planet in Cafe and be set! Arghhhh!!
