What kind of handbag?
Louis Vuitton
What does your handbag say about you?
My handbag doesn't speak — it's sworn to secrecy!
What's the most important thing in your handbag?
It's a toss up between my credit card and my lip gloss.
How about the most surprising thing?
Sanitizing wipes
What was the first handbag you carried that was memorable?
The multi-colored Louis Vuitton because it was fun and out of the ordinary.
Name eight items in your handbag and why you must carry them:
1. A hand mirror for touchups.
2. Glasses — to see when I'm not wearing my contacts (I have a really bad astigmatism).
3. A pouch with plastic handling gloves for doorknobs (I'm a germaphobe).
4. A cosmetic case for touchups that has powder, lip gloss, etc.
5. Perfume for feel good moments — especially for better air quality in rodeos, etc.
6. Bubble gum for blowing bubbles.
7. Cell phone — to maintain contact with life and play Bubble Blast.
8. An extra set of car keys because I'm always losing mine.
