7x6andchg: I'm with Geo on this - the reason, I think, men don't go in there is because it's fruitless...Sammy, we can't FIND anything in there. You know where it all is...we don't.

Sad but true...it's like terra incognita to most men. :D

throb919: Goodness girls--how big are these steamer trunks y'all are carrying around...?! Purses within purses, notebooks (plural), pens and lipsticks by the dozen...terra incognita to men indeed!

I, too, was raised with the don't-even-think-of-going-in-there attitude about Mother's handbag. So I'd schlep it to you, too, Sammygirly before opening the forbidden myself.

I've always loved women who carry huge purses with lots of stuff in them. My mom and my sisters are big purse-having kind of women. One of my sisters goes a bit over board though. We joke and call her purses her "luggage.":biggrin:

My mom always used to let me go through her purse when I was a child, on the condition that I was cleaning it out for her. I remember she'd be cooking and I'd be at the table behind her constantly asking "Mom, do you still need this?"

My mom and my sisters always also had huge makeup bags filled with tons of makeup. I remember the one thing they would get mad at me and my brother for was using their eyeliner sharpeners to sharpen our pencils.:eek::redface:

I hate carrying purses. A friend of mine bought me a Seat Belt bag wristlet (from http://www.seatbeltbags.com) that I absolutely love-- it's small and has a wrist strap that I also hang my keys from. It's one of the only things I've carried on a regular basis that is purse like.

Inside:

drivers license
Costco card
ATM card
checkbook
lipstick
various receipts from recent purchases
a couple of unfilled prescriptions
a few folded pieces of paper (lists, pamphlets, etc.)

I don't carry a purse usually. I have a tiny hippie pouch that fits in my back pocket with my money and id cards. My chapstick goes in my front right pocket. That is pretty much all I need.

What's in my purse... my wallet, a bunch of random medicines, my makeup (all three pieces of it), my eyebrow rings, old receipts that I probably don't need anymore... I think that's about it. I carry a small purse simply so I won't end up with that "black hole" that has WAY too much stuff in it that I never use.
