Welcome to What's In Your Handbag?, a weekly feature that looks inside someone's handbag to answer the burning question, what do you have in there? Want to nominate someone? Shoot over an email with details.
This week, a two-part version of What's In Your Handbag? Today, friend/servant Hrit of Vegas Nocturne inside Rose.Rabbit.Lie. at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas gives us a glimpse of what she carries in her bag. Here, she carries a cigar handbag she uses to collect Beverley Rossina Falzone-Buzukhov's lozenges. Last week, Beverley shared the contents of her handbag. Find out what's inside Hrit's handbag following the jump. Be forewarned, Hrit responded in Flemish. Don't worry, we translated it.
Name
Mijn naam is Hrit, uitgesproken met een 'G'.
(My name is Hrit, pronounced with a [very phlegm-filled] "G" at the beginning.)
Occupation
Ik ben de meid/vriendin van Beverley Rossina Falzone-Buzukhov.
(I am the friend/servant of Beverley Rossina Falzone-Buzukhov.)
Where
Dit woord ken ik in 't Engels: 'Mansion'. Gelijk Marilyn Manson maar met een 'i'. Komaan!
(Vegas Nocturne at Rose.Rabbit.Lie. is what she really means, but she's referring to the family's mansion, which is the general architectural setup of Rose.Rabbit.Lie. They all live in the mansion, but Hrit is confused about the word "mansion" because it's an English word and it reminds her of Marilyn Manson's name but with an "i." She basically got frustrated ("Komaan!" = "Come on!") and she didn't completely answer this.)
What kind of handbag?
Een gedecoreerde sigaren doos. Het was een gift van Beverley, omdat ik haar oude lozenges collectioneer.
(A decorated cigar box. It was a gift from Beverley, because I collect all her used lozenges.)

How about the most surprising thing?
