About 6 months ago I bought a manbag. On and off over the years I had thought about it but never quite had the courage to purchase one. But then one day about 6 months ago while shopping, I thought of buying one and maybe because the older I get the less I care about what people think of me as long as I am being true to myself - I just went into a store and bought one. Nothing too outrageous - small - about the size of a hardback book - and in black nylon with some red flashing - and several pockets.
And I love it! Its ideal when ever I go out and don't need to carry my laptop or anything bulkier. It can take my wallet; my mobile phone;my keys; my glasses case; a book; a note book; a selection of pens and of course my video iPod. And also if need be - my camera. Great for a trip to my local Starbucks for a coffee. I have a book to read and note book to make notes - what more could a knowledge worker require!
And then in the paper this morning I read about an American tennis player Andy Roddick attacking Britain's so-called love affair with the manbag. Seems I am not the only one to realize their virtues and overcome years of conditioning that a real man does not carry a bag let alone a purse!
Not so sure about the term 'manbag' though - it might just be open to misinterpretation LOL!
