For Christmas, I got a new handbag. This was, amazingly enough, an actually useful gift - my old one had started looking rattier and rattier, had developed splotches where the Pride stickers used to be and was sort of coming loose around the seams, but I didn't really consciously notice this. I probably would have kept using it until it actually ( Read more... )
