Old Maid Metamorphosis
January 13, 2009 at 8:00 AM
I should blog about my first day back at school. And I totally will, but today I’d much rather admire my beautiful new/old purse. I haven’t decided what to name her, but I assure you it will be after an elderly woman somewhere.
I think my love of old lady accessories is a direct result of my old lady behavior. I’m the first to admit that I like to be home early, I take my daily fiber and nothing makes me happier than yelling at children.
It’s only a matter of time before I start smelling like Altoids, wrinkle cream and Virginia Slims. I CAN’T WAIT!

Don’t forget the jar of Carmax. That’s what I think of when I think of old biddies. Oh, and White Shoulders. Bea Arthur-land, here you come!
At least you don’t have an expiration date. You’re as fresh as the drifting snow.
Don’t forget the old lady perfume…. stinky roses or something magnolia!!!
Name the purse Geraldine!!!
I think she looks like an “Edna” or a “Maude”.
I read Virginia as Vagina, and was appalled.
Don’t forget to hand out Werther’s original.

That didn’t parse correctly

Maude?
Maude would be a bigger purse.
I think she’s a Sophia (like on Golden Girls).
It looks like it has the face of a comic book vampire super villain on it.
What do your nerd friends think of it?
I see a face. Eyes closed and fangs… is that suppose to be there or do I need to up my meds?
Considering the design looks like an abstract vagina…I’d go with Virginia, Doloris or Mulva.
Sometimes naming inanimate objects works better if you precede the name with a title.
Example: Sister Morris
That is the most amazing purse I have ever seen. Jealous.
“Considering the design looks like an abstract vagina…I’d go with Virginia, Doloris or Mulva.”
oooo! Yes it does! Mulva would be great.
Daphne Blake! Bright and retro, soo Daphne (of Scobby Doo, duh)! Do it! 🙂
Thats way cute.. ive started collecting glowmesh bags from vintage stores, so i share ur bag obsession.. does anyone remember glowmesh? its come back into fashion here at the moment, but i like the original bags (from the 60’s and 70’s) =oD
I, too, await that day. And the design on that purse looks exactly like a t-shirt I have… odd…
I was going to say “Maude”! Shannon stole my idea. Or maybe I stole hers.
Another option would be “Marge” as in “Marjorie”, which just happens to be my cute, very OLD grandmother’s name.
don’t forget the smell of day old depend diapers..
