An addendum to my last entry: While cleaning out my mess of a mailbox, I found a copy of a 2004 email message to a friend - two years later, I’m thinking the same things! One positive though, is that I’ve calmed down on prints, and I’m buying solid th…

Most of the online chatter about these pictures have been about how silly she looks flipping off the photographers or about Spiderman reshoots, but I am more concerned about the bag she is carrying.

Why on earth would Kirsten Dunst be carrying around almost the exact same Vera Bradley bag (or worse, a Vera knock off) that I myself had circa 2000? Now at the time I was pleased as punch with my little cotton bag. It cost me a bundle of my recent college grad salary, had fantastic pockets, and at the time it was the height of Boston preppy fashion.

But it is now 2006 and Kirsten must today have a WAY larger bank account then I did back then. And while I will admit to still having a soft spot for the Vera’s (my weekend bag is a Miller in Java Blue) this is really unacceptable for someone rich and famous. Kirsten needs to get herself into Louis Vuitton or Prada store ASAP!

I’m always surprised when I go through my comments to see so much discussion STILL going on about things I posted over a year ago. I can only assume people are finding me through Google. I’m glad to have such opinionated readers at my site who care a great deal about the same bag related issues that interest me.

Anyway, in case you’re curious here are the hot topics and most commented on entries here at The Bag Blog:

• Can you wash and wear a Herve Chapelier bag? I did!
• Bag Borrow or Steal…is it a cool idea? or a huge scam that should be avoided at all costs?
• Buying fake bags at Canal Street…innocent fun or dangerous illegal behavior?
