Shoe Tuesday – Another shoe bag?
<cue Shoe Tuesday music>
So Emma’s gotten herself a new job, and to celebrate she went to M&S and bought some new gear for work.
One of the things she bought was a new handbag…
(note: apparently it’s not cool to buy handbags from M&S, but if Em doesn’t want her dark fashion secrets splashed all over the internets, she really has to take out some sort of restraining order).
Just an ordinary bag?
I don’t have an eye for such things but it seems like a nice enough bag to me.
Why, though, did Emma giggily inform me that it got a “Standing ovation*“ from a group of Chinese women she showed it to in an elevator yesterday?
Answer after the break.
*a standing ovation has slightly less impact when the audience is already standing, but let’s play along OK?
Well I never
Ta-da!
(Well, you knew it had something to do with shoes- right?)
Have you been reading Shoe Tuesday for what seems like forever?
Are you starting to wish you’d never encouraged the whole sorry business?
Do you suspect it used to be much funnier?
Find out for sure by reading Every Shoe Tuesday Ever!
And there I was thinking the shoe well had run dry and you were looking for a way out. Nice shoes. Nice bag. I’m standing and clapping. But I was clapping before I started reading this blog post anyway.
Since I have no idea what M&S is, it’s perfectly acceptable for me to have a bag from there. You might need to get me that bag, I dig it.
Is M&S Marks & Spencer?
Congratulations to Emma on her new handbag…
Glad to see she went out and got herself a nice new job to go with it.
Now you have to carry it for her all the time.
What’s the job?
Can I take Emma out for some shopping? I can ber her personal stylist :)
I like the little flags! Is that new or am I just noticing it?
Actually mate I think it’s very similar to what you were doing in Nippon just before you left- training manager for a business english school
I’ll suggest it to her shoppers, but I’ve tried and she ignores all my advice!
they’re new, cool eh? And accurate as far as I can tell.
You’re right too, M&S = Marks & Spencers- best place for handbags (honest))
i like the color, too! auscpicious! (spelling is jacked though.)
can i get a texas flag, please?
nevermind last comment…seems it’s working now
Emma is too stylish for a personal shopper. Love the bag (and secret compartment). You’re a lucky fella!
Swiss James should be a contestant on the new reality TV show called “Who’s the next Rachel Zoe, ur personal fab stylist?” :D
I counter that comment! Target has the best hand bags! ;-) Oh wait, there is no Target invasion in China yet!
sure Angie, just declare independence from the US
I just wanted to see what flag I’d get
site sort of works and doesn’t…if I click on the Home “button/banner” it goes back in time!!!!
To Aug 22 2008….
what the hell is this obsession with 22 August? I’m as flummoxed as you guys about this business….
I wonder if I get a French flag because my work servers are in France?
I do! Stitch that James, I out-cunninged your cunning flag machine.
Vive la France!
