preposterously awesome

We all know I have a coat problem. Slightly less well-known is my bag problem, which is particularly incomprehensible because I don’t usually carry one. I would, however, give up all the other rarely used bags in favor of never using this one: Seriously, I do not know what level of kick-ass one has to conquer in order to deserve one of those, but I have major, major bag lust.
