Man Bags

Aug 17th, 2007 | By Irie Diva | Category: Bags, Male Style

My new blogger friend Celena wrote an article on man bags recently and I of course posted the article on my favorite Idle talk forum . Of course, many of the guys burned ’nuff fire (read: Jamaican for "denounced") on these man bags, especially the ones pictured in Celena’s aticle. Some admitted to taking bags to work with necessities, while some admitted only to carrying bags but leaving them in the car. All of course said the contents of the bag were strictly work material, none of that "metro" stuff i.e. lotions and sanitizors and what-not. I thought this was quite funny. Well anything that catches on in America is sure to catch on here. I figure it will take time as even in the US it still seems somewhat metrosexual to carry a man bag, not very mainstream. Jamaican guys tend to carry backpacks eveywhere, this I hate so much! I would much rather see a messenger bag at least (the one pictured above is very utilitarian and can berely be referred to as a "man bag" though it is). Young men going to work with backpacks or drawstring bags slung over shoulders is so no cute! or Cool! or anything stylish! And bulging pockets are not cute either. There are indeed ways to lug your "tools" around thats manly and still stylish. But I’m not gonna post them here, not yet at least. I may post options that are still too "man-bagish" for the macho male populace so I encourage my male readers to send me pictures of the bag you carry. Pretty please *bats eyelashes*I’ll start by posting my friend Jermaine and his handy dandy pouch that he carries his headset needed for work. Gentlemen, send your pics to me here and let me know where you usually carry the bag and what’s normally in it.
