Keyboard Bag

I saw this amazing keyboard bag at MOMA's store. I am so enamored of it that words fail me to describe the intensity of my feeling. Is it not the cutest thing you have ever seen? Is there a nerdette in the world who wouldn't want one?

They come in different colors, too.

 What an absolute beauty, people. If you feel like you can afford this bag at this moment, here is the website. Make the nerdette in your life (whether she is you or somebody you care about) really happy.

I'm not being paid to promote the bags or anything. I just love them and want to share this beautiful dream with people, even though I can't buy one myself right now.

A Confederate Handbag

I'm sorry that the picture is blurry. It was quite dark in
the store, and I did the best I could with my cell
phone camera

I wanted to buy a little handbag for my niece who is almost 14 months old. So I saw what looked like a cute toddler handbag in a store and grabbed it. I almost bought it when I realized that its bow was in the colors of the Confederate flag. There was also a little appliqued picture saying "The South Will Rise Again." I'm glad I caught it in time, and didn't bestow such a weird gift on my little niece.

It's unbelievable to me how much Missouri's past of slavery is still present everywhere around here. I'm still kind of new to these cultural realities, but the Confederate handbag for toddlers seems quite disturbing. But if I'm overreacting, and it's a completely normal practice, feel free to tell me.
