This might be wrong, but
I like that Gwen Stefani song, “Harajuku Girls“.*
Also, I don’t understand why people were calling Britney the new Madonna, when Gwen has obviously been the new Madonna for a while now. Not that I have strong feelings about any of the three of them. I’m just saying – people need to give proper credit.
*Not the real video, but that is the song.
My Latest Very Strong Opinion
Men should carry purses.
Seriously. I’m not trying to be funny.
I don’t care if they have to call them something other than purses. I know “man bags” didn’t work. Call them messenger bags, then. Or just bags. Or whatever. Shit – call them purses. What’s wrong with it?
But men should carry purses. It’s time. Here is what y’all need a purse for:
1. your phone
2. your wallet
3. your keys
4. your PSP
5. snacks
6. a comb
7. a pen
8. everything else you’re always asking me to carry in my purse for you
Stop saying it’s gay. It’s not gay. How the hell can carrying things in a bag make you a homosexual? That doesn’t even make sense. Guys in the army have backpacks. Do you want a backpack? No fanny packs – right. I get that. But, dude, come on. The warriors on the video games carry bags.
If you disagree, give me your reasons for being a man and not wanting to carry a bag. And don’t say it’s because it’ll make you gay.
I swear, I wish that every time a straight man admonished another man for being “gay,” someone would slap that straight man across the face and tell him to quit being such a stupid bitch.

In American cities with a heavy rapid transit presence (New York, San Francisco, Dallas, etc) it's actually quite common to see men carrying bags of all sorts. After I had hernia repair surgery, I couldn't wear jeans for two weeks, and I carried a bunch of things in all four pockets, and strapped to my belt, as I live in Dallas and can use DART to get to almost everywhere I need to go. I began with throwing everything into one of those string backpacks, but it didn't take long for me to get tired of doing the "wraparound" everytime I needed something. So, I ended up getting a Fossil Tyler crossbody (nice yet simple, Fossil = quality, on clearance at Dillard's for $48), and now I have organization, in addition to having everything at my hands.

I forgot to mention – no one has made any comment of any sort in the past few weeks since I started carrying the Fossil bag (See, Austin? You're not the only "enlightened city" in Texas).
