Elphaba Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 James Piatt's newest in purse designs.The PersuaderFor the girl on the move the Pursuader features a handy cel phone compartment in the clip. Constructed by interlocking laser cut leather this handbag has no stitching. This is a combination of old-world craftsmanship and high technology. Create the look no one can refuse.And it's only $289.I am usually extremely tolerant and love edgy stuff. This makes me ill. Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskagain Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I would recommend it highly to those who are flying on commercial airlines. Anyone who pays that kind of money for this kind of junk deserves to be detained by security! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elphaba Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I would recommend it highly to those who are flying on commercial airlines. Anyone who pays that kind of money for this kind of junk deserves to be detained by security! Absolutely.Even worse, it's conceivable someone could get shot because someone else mistook this thing for a weapon. It could even be an innocent bystander. However, I have to admit my disgust is emotional. I picture oblivious, insipid party girls who don't even know where Iraq is wearing it around town thinking they're so cool, pretending to shoot each other, and falling all over each with hysterical laughter. In the meantime, there is a girl their age in Saudi Arabia who is probably going to be beheaded soon. In my opinion, this thing mocks all the tragedy, bloodshed and death the twits who would buy these purses don't even comprehend. I despise this kind of ignorance.

ElphabaYou know I have slightly different take on this - personally I wouldn't wear it but maybe things like this should be made fun of would love to see it worn by a drag act or something. A few years ago we had a comedian from Ireland who had a show now I wasn't huge fan of his but he had a couple of girls on his show with camo bikini's and black paramilitary (IRA, UVF etc) style balaclava's, his father had been killed by a paramilitary organisation so no one could say he didn't understand the pain caused. I think what he did was brave courageous and brilliant we should start laughing at terrorism etc making it look as ridiculous as it really isCharley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKairos Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 ...we should start laughing at terrorism etc making it look as ridiculous as it really isI think once we've achieved superiority over the terrorists, then we can start laughing at them.

prisonchaplain Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I want to give these to my daughters before they go to middle school.

prisonchaplain Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I'm not serious about the purse, but "as a funeral" about protecting my daughters. BTW, the oldest is six, so I have time to mellow, yet. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What your friend did is performance art, and that would, indeed, be brave and funny. What better way to snub our nose at the terrorists. A drag queen holding a purse that looks like an AK47. lol....THAT is funny.I just don't like the idea of people in the streets holding.BTW, what is a bacaclava?

Because if you are then I say - That is Sick & Tacky!This may be a sidetrack, but oh how the American spirit has been scarred these last 20 years. From the blowing up of the federal building in OK, to the half dozen or so school shootings, to 9-11--we truly have lost our sense of security.Note how carefully I worded my attempt-at-humor post. First, I would NOT really give my girls purses that look like weapons. Second, they were to tell the boys that the "style" of the purse was "inspired," by dad's collection (btw, I have no guns). Of course this was a joke post--and the intent was related to my (and most any father's) desire to protect his daughters from the typical male adolescent vulture.I don't blame Iggy. His reaction is telling of just how fragile the American psyche has become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
