working away at some long overdue swaps this week (the glue is still a little wet on this one).
i realized recently that i've probably sold about 100 suitcases. i wonder sometimes where they are, how they are used or displayed, if they ever think of me....
and i was thinking it would be cool to have some pictures of my work out in the world. if any of you have a suitcase of mine and feel like snapping a picture of it in action (on display in your home, with your kids, on a baggage carousel at the airport), send it my way. i'd be psyched. maybe if enough people join in, i'll start a flickr group.
*totally sounds dirty and reminds me of this song. i'm embarrassed to say my teenage self thought billy squier was pretty hot, though i now realize he wasn't dancing as much as he was probably writhing in social disease. is that an armadillo in his pants? holy crap!
HILARIOUS!! That song reminds me of school dances in the cafeteria.
I know it will be going to be going through my head when I'm trying to go to sleep tonight!

Oops! I sound illiterate. Really should remember to read my comment before hitting that button...

Meg - you are by far the funniest person I have ever not met.
Thanks for keeping me so entertained :)!

That's really disturbing Meg, I think you are right about the armadillo. I did some quick research and while armadillos do have teeth, they seldom bite. However if picked up, their long, sharp digging claws can be dangerous. Probably not advisable to wear them to augment one's crotch.
Similarly unbelievable, yet tremendously less disturbing, is that you have sold over 100 suitcases! That's a lot of picking glue off your finger tips! I love this one by the way (he he, that is a compliment and not a wry suggestion).

Oh my god, Meg! You made me laugh out loud with that armadillo comment. Yeah, I have to admit, I thought that song and Billy Squire were pretty cool when I was younger. I was still expanding my musical horizons. ;)

Very similar to my situation----trying to catch up to my swaps!! Ack.
I can understand how you'd really enjoy seeing your suitcases in the real world. I guess I would have imagined them being used as a suitcase (my analytical side) but recently I visited my sister-in-law who uses suitcases as drawers for her vintage clothes and I can totally imagine one of your fabulous suitcases in use this way...

Hilarious!!! My fave of Squier's was the classic, "Rock Me Tonight"! I love your new suitcase! <3

But, um, Billy *is* hot. And I'm not just saying that to stroke your ego. Your ego lives about where my ego lives. I am thinking about stroking that armadillo though.
Signed,
A happily married, armadillo-stroking woman who loves that teardrop case

You officially post the best videos ever. That made my day - and Billy was a little hot!

billy squier!!!
Posted by: Lori | March 19, 2008 at 12:11 PM
OMG...if I had a suitcase I would totally send you a photo and you reminded me of how much I love that song. I used to totally rock out to it although Billy didn't do much for me. I always thought he need to take a shower. I was a Duran Duran fan oh and Oingo Boingo!!! To name just a few. xoxo

OMG WTF. as a advocate for armadillo rights i am appalled at Mr. Squier's crotch stuffing with one and even more disgusted by betsy's lewd (and now public!) desires to stroke one herself! armadillos have feelings, too, people.
on that note, i loved me some billy squier and all his bad dancing in pink spandex and i too LOVED rock me tonight. in fact, i'm off to itunes right now to find it.
if you want pics of your glorious pails, let me know. i don't have a suitcase...YET. i'll get one eventually.

Well, come on now. I was a freshman in college and yes, Squier was hot. Good girls love bad boy rockers in tight pants...at least from a distance!
I wish I had one of your suitcases to photograph! I'll have to settle for looking at all the wonderful pics people will be sending you.
