You don't need an excuse. You'll have more room for more bags. I bet he takes up at least a third of your entire closet space, doesn't he? If you need his income to pay for bags and shoes, remember that California is a halvsies state. If you are not in California and, lord knows why, you won't divorce him, please sell him a ticket to Lursula's Handbag Museum and Closet. He will literally fall on his knees thanking you for having such a sparse collection and he might even buy you the new Gucci. Love and Kisses, L

However did you know about him taking up a third of the closet space?! You are truly a genius! Yours Already addicted to Shoes

Castaway in the Caribbean ________________________________________ Dear Castaway, Are you kidding me? Look at your mailing address and call me in the morning. *Sigh* Okay. Adjusting to life on an island in the ocean after a 10-day DISNEY cruise on the ocean must be so hard for you. I'm sure you can Google "How to make towel animals" and train your husband and your little dog, too, on how to make the bed and complete your turn-down service. And chocolates on the pillow...okay, make a chocolate martini each night before bed. Come now, you and I are posh enough to know that the ONLY way to recover from a fabulous vacation is to plan another one and soon. You mean you have to make your own coffee all by your little self? Poor dear, how do you ever live? Love, L
Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 Dear L. Chocolate martinis and another vacation!!?? I think I like this idea..... Perked up in Paradise P.S. Lilo says the towels are bigger than she is and this would make towel art a little hard for her.

I sure do. I once tried a sea anemone and I found it wasn't someone at all. It doesn't even have eyes so how can it watch me? Love, L

I would just have a little thing like a divorce to deal with on the return trip and I am pretty sure that my DH wouldn't be too eager to have me go on the incredible trip at the end of the month to DLR and then a Mexican Rivera cruise he has so happily been planning for us. But I digress, my friends are most likely riding haunted Mansion or POTC RIGHT NOW and I am NOT! Feel my pain??? I have tried shopping the last few days and indeed the 5 pair of shoes I bought did help...slightly. What do you suggest I do to get past this long weekend??? (Actually it really is a Long Weekend up here in Canada, it is our Thanksgiving). I thought of going on Ebay and searching for the most expensive purses to see what comes up.

You were looking fabulous, as always, and it is simply mind boggling how you manage so many activities at once--filling in here in "Ask L & L," raising money for charity, and looking stunning while keeping up with it all). ;-) Gratefully yours, Miss Litter

Or to see Lisann. Love, Miss Litter

Oy, that is so mean of me! Wherever ARE my manners!?!?!??! I do beg forgiveness. I did run into your posse. I believe they were waiting for food or something to open up. There was a long line and lord knows there weren't enough of those to go around this weekend. I tell you this: be happy that you did not go this weekend. You missed a flood of people and not ONCE did I see anyone relaxing with their husbands on the Mexican Riviera. (she did say Mexican Riviera and not Pico Rivera, right?) My advice: Make sure you call your so-called friends from the Mexican Riviera often and brag about what you are doing (or not doing, as I hear it's lovely there this time of year). By then, your friends will be back at work, slaving away, wishing so much that they were kind enough to at least invite you to their DL trip. And if it does make you feel better, you just go ahead and buy me the new Gucci. Love, L

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Dear Ursula, Actually, dear, I would suggest neither linens nor crystal.

Did I mention that that little Coach bag you were carrying on Sunday is simply adorable and furthermore fits so very nicely on my shoulder?
