10/09/2006: "That Explains the Stupid Smile ..."

When I was a young man, women dragged around purses that looked large enough to double as an overnight bag. In fact, one of my goals was to encourage that exact use ... but that's another story.

Today's stylish hottie clings to a little bitty purse that looks like it's not big enough for a condom and a quarter. But hey - you make your sacrifices for fashion. And naturally, no one makes that sacrifice quite like Paris Hilton.

Now, I was raised to never look in a woman's purse, but I'm not a paparrazi - they'll look anywhere. Down a blouse ... up a skirt ... in a purse. So it's no surprise that when Paris took a break for a strategic lip gloss reapplication, the cameras were right there to document the moment.

Let's see ... what's in the purse. Sunglasses ... check! Crackberry ... check! Camera ... check! Cash ... check! Weed ... oops!

It's been a few years, but I can guarantee you that's no bag of oregano peeking out of the diva's ditty bag. It's your basic dime bag - just enough for you and a friend to have a happy time no matter how boring the party. It's probably the good stuff, too ... bitch!
