If clothes make the man, what makes the woman? Accessories I guess, based on the emphasis women place on them.

A couple of properly placed accessories do seem to make most women more appealing, as evidenced by Nicole Ritchie.

Last week I scoured eBay searching for the perfect, medium-sized carryall bag for myself, to haul my ever-increasing load of camera, note pad, snacks, medicine, water bottle, etc, preferably at a giveaway price.

By accident I brought up designer messenger and sling bags for women. Oh man, was I stunned! These sumbitches cost a king's ransom.

What the hell is so special about a simple bag made by Kenneth Cole, armani, Judith Lieber, Hermes Birkin ($7500.00!,) Salvatore Ferragamo, or The Count DeStromboli for that matter?

Well, our celebrity friends don't look at price tags, only at each other, and none of them wants to be seen with the wrong gear.

Nicole currently sports a Lorelei while out shopping for other out-of-this-world priced accessories.

As for my quest, I found what I hope is just right for me, a $16.99 Speedo cross-shoulder bag/pack, that I later realized is a diaper bag. It should fit my image.
