tired of scrolling down and looking at beautiful women yet? (who am i kidding!?!?!)

anyway, let me tell you a story......

once upon a time, very very long ago, in a faraway land known as The Kingdom of Doongoos, there lived a very famous bag designer. Back then, there wasn't any job vacancy for bag designers because people carried their belongings with them in a piece of cloth, or hide, tied up with a knot and held up by a piece of stick.

i've even included an illustration for those lacking imagination. what a nice little blogger i am. as you can see, there wasn't really any need for a bag designer like him. he was a man ahead of his times. so, he was really more known as 'the-crazy-guy-who-goes-around-sketching-silly-little-animal-skin-thingy". quite a long name, i am sure you will agree, but that's how people back then give out names, so who are we to argue.

anyway, this little guy has a lot of pent-up frustration and anger, because his creativity and ingenuity was not recognised. trapped in his little dark cave, holed up with all the animal skin, he finally went berserk and wanted to carry out revenge on mankind. (insert crazy mad-scientist kind of laughter)

the little guy spent days and nights, and nights and days, and days and nights, well you get the picture, drawing and sketching, sketching and drawing....and then drawing and sketching some more. he finally came up with the masterpiece, the creation to end all creation, his tool for retaliation on all who mocked him!

are you curious what he came up with? wait, let me google for the illustration again.......

a handbag! ahhhhhhhhhhhh, not just any handbag mind you. a handbag with a handle that is too short for you to carry on your shoulder, and yet too long for you to hold on your hand. so, how do you carry it around? yes, like the beautiful ladies you were oogling over at the very top of the post, in a frozen v-shaped-arm manner! like a mannequin that escaped from the shop window.

in his crafty and cunning manner, he made every person who carried them look silly; one arm hooked upward in  an awkward manner and the hand, empty waving around listlessly in the air. some try to hide the gawkiness by holding something in that hand; a handphone, a piece of tissue or a wallet, whilst others perfect the technique by holding their hand out elegantly like the queen, waiting for her subjects to kiss her hand. sticking out the last pinky is optional, depending on how delusional you are.

he sold the idea with such success that the ladies loved it immediately, and it carried on throughout the ages. nobody noticed anything wrong with the design and women scrambled over each other to get a piece of his designs. until this day and age, if you look closely you can still see some of his works on the street. and if you see one, just remember that little crazy man, eons of years ago, gloating and laughing wickedly, screaming in his dark cold wet cave......."REVENGE IS SO SWEEEEEEEEEET!"
