Sometimes, I manage to say something that really flummoxes my current colleagues - this time around, it was the statement that I have never owned a handbag (which I haven't at any time, despite the fact that my fourth decade is rapidly approaching). So this started me thinking about ways in which I am not necessarily a typical female... and that means a poll, with ticky-boxes! :P

Question: what do you carry your stuff around in? If it's a laptop bag, then that makes perfect sense. I have mini-backpack style bags that are as close as I get to handbags. I need something with lots and lots of pockets - the more, the better.

Umbrella ownership isn't something I associate with women, rather with people who don't want to get wet. I own several umbrellas, some that fit in my bag. They're to stop me getting wet when it rains, which certainly doesn't feel like a girly function.

And... toiletries have ranges? So I can buy a toothbrush to go with my shower gel? I think I'm missing the point here.

And p.s. if you think life is too short for plucking eyebrows, you haven't seen mine when they're left alone - they could be released into the wild and would be mistaken for chinchillas.

One of the great joys of being blonde is not having to worry about that sort of thing.. :)

I think that logic only counts if you're a blonde without excessively fluffy eyebrows. ;-)

Stuff? Well, for work I have a briefcase (well, for the past 6 years it's actually been a record bag, previous to that I had a satchel with an elephant on it). For travelling around I have a couple of small backpacks, one of which is actually a laptop bag, but I also rely heavily on the concept of jacket pockets. ;)

The umbrella thing isn't specifically a female thing, it's just that I recently realised that the last time I remember owning an umbrella was when I was in high school. After that I was travelling by bike a lot and then by car...

Most of my suit jacket pockets are still sewn up to be sure I don't ruin the line of the jacket. I think that makes me a girl.
