She used to say “a lady should be able to place her hand in her purse and retrieve the desired item without having to look.”
I still try to obey this rule.

Especially when retrieving that special desired item.

Who is “she”… Are you referring to the one and only…

Or as she (perhaps the same one) used to say, “If you have to tell people you’re a lady, you’re not.”
I’m not, BTW.

I’m not either, but I still try for some of the rules. Some. When I’m in the mood. And it’s the third Wednesday of the month. And Capt’n Crunch is on sale. And the cat next door only mews twice to be let in.

mmmmmm….Cap’n Crunch…you are too young to remember, but back in the day the TV ads for it on Saturday morning cartoons said kids love it because “it has TWO kinds of sugar!”
Good times…

A quote I enjoy in the same vein is, “the difference between a lady and a whore is just a matter of price.”

That’s why I don’t carry a purse. I will one day write a comprehensive white paper on “purse creep.” You start out with that cute little thing that’s barely bigger than your wallet. But then you need your cellphone too. Then your sun glasses. So you get a bigger purse. But then you add some makeup or an iPod and keep adding until it’s full of stuff you suddenly “need.” And so you buy a bigger purse, etc. etc.

Bear – absolutely. And yet we live in fear of becoming bag ladies, carrying everything we own around in bags. You know, unlike now.
