grape shopper! i have christened it GRIMACE like my favorite, dopey purple monster (even though i don't really eat mc d's) it smells AWESOME! ahhhh!! i love leather!!!
it's HUUUUGE, bigger than i expected! and i'm sort of new to this forum but if you've seen my posts, i'm a bit of a size queen
and i was hunting for a big tano so i'm glad i bought the shopper!
i'd really wanted a zip-top but the toggle is surprisingly secure since, i think, once you secure it, one side of the bag sort of slides over the other side's top almost like a loosely-sealed envelope and the slouch makes the top fold over more securely. well, unless you'd stuff it to the brim with things.
i admit the purple bag i was carrying around was a faux-leather (
) deux lux "tab handle" bag from urban outfitters and it was a poor excuse for my new GRIMACE my old bag is supposedly "plum" but this is the most richest purple i've seen in a bag and i'm so glad i splurged my holiday bonus on it i can fit everything i had in my old bag that was so full i couldn't even zip it up (23" long and 13" high) into my new shopper!
and i got her in the mail from MHB! got the 2-day delivery option and she came in a bag! i loved voodoo's big unveil/burlesque-type slideshow of her new bag but i stepped on the corner of the box and dented it but luckily, my bag was ok!
i bought some apple garde spray and it's on its way but i don't think now that i'd mind letting grimace grow old alongside me
(and i can't wait 'till it lightens a bit in color with more laugh lines....for better or worse hahaa
i took some pictures:
i live with several roommates and you'll get to see our nutty living room.....
here she/he (? grimace is asexual?) on a chair:
now next to a bottle of generic-brand, "orange cleaner" (umm blue? refilled with windex) for scale (or maybe not, because of the angle i shot it and the bottle is a bit in front):
i carry around a ton of stuff in my bag, even things like a small stuffed toy that my bf got me and he fits in grimace's belly quite nicely
i'm about 5'2" and the next two modeling pics here make grimace look like he's ingested some cyanide...a tad blue-y)
and here's the tiny living room with...someone..in the background? note the saggy legwarmers, random fishing net decor (i have some guy roommates), pre-raphaelite posters, and can of oust:
yes, the walls are lime green (AVOCADO GREEN ). this was a total bachelor pad before another female roommate and myself moved in...we haven't done any redecorating.
waaa!! its jason from friday the 13th! (note jason is not true to size as he's probably 6' in the movies and this is a poster of him)
thanks for all the help ladies! i hope to get more tanos! yay!!
