Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Hillier Hobo

As much as I adore Louis Vuitton, I also believe that everyone needs a little Marc in their lives.  Being a bit edgier than my usual style, the Marc Jacobs or Marc by Marc Jacobs (MbMJ) handbag lines are a hit or miss with me, (usually a miss).

One of the few hits, was the Dr. Q Groovee Satchel, and to a lesser extent, the Dr. Q Hillier Hobo.  Earlier this summer, I absolutely lusted after the Dr. Q Groovee (black or saddle with gold hardware, Mmmm!)  But its unavailability in stores, skyrocketing prices on EvilBay, and not so appealing IRL photos convinced me otherwise.

Fast forward a few months, add in a nice cashback promotion through Microsoft's Live.com, and my interested in the MbMJ Dr. Q range is rekindled.  While procrastinating the morning of my midterms, a Dr. Q Hillier Hobo in black with gold hardware sucked me in.  I rationalized for 15 minutes that I didn't have a black bag besides me huuuge wannabe Via Spiga tote from Target, so I was hooked and clicked to buy.  She landed on my doorstep within three days.

While waiting for her,  I was weary that the larger size (Dr. Q Hillier Huge Hobo) might be a better choice, but upon arrival, she quickly assured me I made the right choice.  I carried her to a sleepover with my pledge brothers (I'm in a co-ed frat), and she was quickly seized and gushed over.  You just can't resist that supple pebbled leather and huge gold MbMJ tag...^.^

Of course, I took pictures for the MbMJ connoisseurs @ The Purse Forum, so enjoy.

Coach Hamptons Large Leather Hobo

I thought I could swear off buying no more Coach bags to save up for some Louis, but that was before I tried on the Hamptons Large Leather Hobo.  A great bag for Fall or anytime you need a big, slouchy bag; the Brass/Mahogany combo is so much richer and better-looking IRL.  The pebbled leather is supple and smooth, the wide strap is comfortable, and it's understated - a great everyday bag.

Modeling pictures for lvuittonaddict @ tPF.  Please excuse the outfit:  I don't believe in dressing "up" for school; that's actually pretty much as dressed up [for school] as I get.

WUT R LOLCATS?

My boss was cracking up over some text on his computer screen, gleefully telling me how "someone translated the book of Genesis, from The Bible, into LOLCats!" He had to repeat that statement a couple of times for me to grasp what he was saying, but I still didn't get it.

Back in my own cubicle, I googled "lolcats" and learned about their mysterious origin:
Behold, the History of LOLCats

The now infamous Happycat, piece de resistance of LOLCats
I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?
from the mothership of LOLCats, I Can Has Cheezburger.

Quite possibly my favorite is I Iz Catamari.

If you still need some convincing, read Michael Agger's Why you cannot resist LOLCats.

Oh, and if you're wondering how to properly "speak" LOLCats, here is a translator.
