Fashion Friday: Timeless Gift

Back when I was in high school, a friend of mine gave me this purse that I have been using consistently for decades.

I just used it Friday night for the Raygun Gothic Rocketship farewell party on the Embarcadero. That big aluminum rocketship that has been on the Embarcadero for the past several years? Well it’s getting dismantled this weekend and Space Cowboys had a lovely send-off party with music blaring from their Unimog. They always have the best music.

Anywho, this purse is perfect to carry the essentials: ID, cash, and phone. Easy to dance with the purse around your shoulder without having to hold onto anything.

The person who gave it to me reads my blog so a big big thank you to my friend Cyrnni Ariate! Your gift has brought a smile to my face every time I’ve used it all these years.
