But I did have a near-purchase experience today with a Betsy Johnson duffel bag in quilted silver lame, so I am clearly a bedazzler kind of girl.

I should have left Ol' Blue with you while the CBs were in Dayton. Blue could definitely do with a facelift. And no, I can't do it myself because I lack any artistic ability whatsoever. I want a bag that is recognizable to me, not one that signals an alert with the FAA. Dang. I should have left Ol’ Blue with you while the CBs were in Dayton. Blue could definitely do with a facelift.

I just bought a cheapo set of turquoise luggage last August, and after one lil trip (well, half-way around the world, and with several stops and switches), it was filthy and disreputable. Terry Pratchett's luggage would slink away from this grizzled and begrimed specimen (and its little brothers). (-: What *I* would like to know is what cleans colors like pink or turquoise on a suitcase? And I can't wait to see what you do with the Pig. Wouldn't it be cool if you came out with a line of luggage? I can see it . . . Fantastic Crusie Bags. With a big emphasis on the "fantasy" . . . . (-: Your star suitcase inspired me to draw stars on one of my suitcases, too, and while it is not show-stopping, it's really rather heartwarming (and slightly easier to find on the carousel, which was the main point). So I'm glad you shared that! Pink suitcase — easy to find, nightmare to clean (-:.

It would match the D&G cover and everything! I went and looked at it, but it's not my favorite shade of orange, so I passed. Can't wait to see the new pig valise!

Even just using white muslin to paint on, then gluing those to the suitcase might be easier than getting the paint to stick to the nylon.
