WHAT'S IN HER BAG
Catherine's 10 essentials
1.
Just the corner of my beautiful Dautore
handbag with its amazing lining,
zipper pulls that look more like jewelry,
and fabulously soft leather, it's more
of a friend than an owned object.
2. Red
vintage wallet I can't remember
where I got it, but it's nice enough to
be a clutch.
3. In Sophie's Bag
card holder, for business cards
and to keep those slippery subway cards
from randomly vanishing. Embossed business
card designed by Peggy!!
4. iPod
cover sock from Tar-jay What's
on her iPod? Currently over-listening to
The Knife, The Brazilian Girls, Asobi Seksu,
The Eyesores....
5. Emergency kit a
Cole Hahn case to keep those things that
girls with allergies must have with them
at all times, but need something cooler
- must look soon! I have been known to
drive from Brooklyn just to get things
from Figments.
6. Cell phone duh.
I'm so over these flip-open phones, want
something like the ones that came out in
the 90's: can't care less about cameras
and net capabilities and interface - I
want a battery that lasts for a week.
7. Keys for
when we need to get outta NY, for times
when the Metrocard won't take me far enough.
Especially easy to locate in a bottomless
bag because of the attached Graphic Image
keyring.
8. Quo
Vadis Agenda perfect size,
perfect color, perfect for an artist with
tendencies to space out appointment times.
9. Prada sunglasses with
reddish lenses that should look terrible
but actually look great on. Just different
enough that I don't look like I bought
this season's batch of large glasses just
cause everyone else did...
10. Midori
pencil case with fuzzy embroidered hedgehog
on it to keep my favorite pens
always on hand. It holds five, so some
of them are running out of ink and some
are brand new - good things for artists.
