The only pens I keep in my purse these days are Pilot Better Retractable ballpoint pens. I still have a few of the Pilot in pink with pink ink from back in the day and I'm sad that pink, purple and green got discontinued. The old pens are amazing because they never pop out unless you click them, the ink doesn't dry up and seize up the ball point and there's no rubber grip to get all gross and linty on me. I found one recently in an bag I hadn't used in 3 years and it still writes great.
 
I have my well used sterling silver Paloma Picasso Tiffany ballpoint travelling with me this week. She lives in a case when not in use and I don't need to worry about fountain pen ink wrecking havoc in my BV large belly veneta while flying.
 
I have my Mont Blanc that goes everywhere with me. And a couple cheap gel pens, in case anyone wants to borrow one. I can't bear the thought of anyone else using my Mont Blanc, but don't really know why.....Is anyone else like this?

Wish I planned this 8 years ago. I had a pen I got from the local Rotary club for high school graduation that was engraved. They gave them out to the top 7 people in our class. At the grocery store one day, I let someone borrow it. Poof, it was gone. There is someone walking around with my engraved name. And I have a weird spelling. Anyway, my current nice pen resides at home. I need to promote it to my purse. Great inspiration guys!
 
Currently: a space pen (love it, it is my second one. You guessed it, the first got jacked at the grocery store or similar.) and a random gel pen. Either purple or turquoise. I also have a pen in my mini Coach agenda. I don't use it as an agenda, just a notepad for my purse.
