Thank you for our first Carnivale here at Pursed Lips. I think we got through it okay!

The entries were fabulous, but how could they not be? On to it!

• GeekiGirl at I want, I got: couldn’t decide between two favorites of mine also for only one to choose. Don’t we all understand? The Spy just screams luxe and it and uniqueness, but it’s also copied so much. I’d go with the Paddington, if given free, for that lizard one you eyed is thousands more expensive!

  And Geeki answered the second question, too! She went superdiva, as would I. You’ll have to click to see all the bags!

  Geeki, I have one more bit of advice for your shopping. “I even have to wonder, if I had $2500 to spend would I go with a handbag or a really hot computer or laptop. I think the gear wins. Yes, I am a nerd.” Go with the bags! You know you’ll eventually get the laptop or computer you want, as everyone agrees those are practical and necessary, but I’m sure you’re far less likely to splurge on these bags. Once in a lifetime!

• Maria Palma at The Runway Scoop chose the Hermes Birkin, the perfect choice for only one big name, classic bag. Oh, and she also wants the Fendi B, which she sneaks in. Diva! (Check out her entry for a rare Internet photo of an authentic Birkin.)
• I participated over at Designer-Ella.com with a list and an array of eye candy bags! Well, that’s all there is to say; you’ve got to see!
• Mallory Road answered on this blog and chose one dream bag by one fave designer (good restraint girl): the Hudson bag by Marc Jacobs.
• The Style Graduate kept her choices professionally cool and kept her wits calm while choosing. Thanks for participating! I suggest those “investments” with the leftover $7,000 be investment bags! There were great suggestions on this blog, like the Spy and Paddington. Or just forget all that Coach, and go all out IT and get an Hermes discounted. Your style is very classic, so there’s no better choice for the ultimate bag!

  (And hey, she gets her mom a bag similar to my new Coach baby [yes, I have brown and will get black, but I do like Signature!]! Yes, that’s right I sink that money into Coach for real. :-P)

We had many different styles and extremes on the shopaholism scale. Thank you all!

And if there’s some miracle that brings even more late entries, I will not forget you, they will be posted.
