I've seen this way too many times and I compelled to write about it. What's the deal with guys carrying purses? I don't mean a messenger bag or one of those small businessman bags. I am talking about a full on woman's style purse. WTF?

Just now I saw this big Korean guy, I would not want to fight this dude...and this guy was carrying a giant fake Louie V bag. It looked so out of place. And right after I passed him I saw a guy and girl walking together. It looked like he was carrying her purse...Until I noticed that HIS purse was bigger than hers and it was not his girls purse but his own!

What do you guys think? I've never seen a non-Korean guy sporting this look. How do you think people would react in your home country to this trend? Also, I haven't seen these purses anywhere else in Asia...Have you?

You should see my purse. It's a cute little black suede handbag with butterflies sewn on.

Good to hear he had the fashion sense to be sporting the giant "Man" size "Louise" Vuitton bag.

Real men don't carry hand bags
Real men don't wax their butt crack
Real men hate Mashi Moro
Real men can grow a beard

Go to Osaka, Japan; a lot of the twenty-something men are more woman than the women.*


*makeup, coiffed hair, hourglass silhouette. Seriously.

You really need to post a picture of that. It�s like that Malcolm in the Middle episode where Dewey gets a purse, but in real life.

The closest thing I�ve seen to that is guys riding super-girly pink and purple bikes on campus in America.

It's sad how I agree with every statement you've made.
