|
|
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. |
