The first time I saw Pursey Galore was on Twitter before I knew a thing about Project Purse and Boots. A few tweeps on Twitter were discussing getting tacky wardrobe tips from me and how I probably had a collection of animal print clothing. Lori, the author of In Pursuit of Martha Points, posted a twitpic of this hideous zebra print sequined handbag her mother had given her and suggested that it would be at home in my closet.
I realize these people don’t really know me and I bring a lot of the ribbing upon myself by suggesting that I am a connoisseur of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and my fondness for salty language. The truth is I shop at J.Crew just like the first lady and sport a lot of soccer mom casual. If you aren’t familiar with Project Purse and Boots yet, you must read this before proceeding.
I was the first stop outside of California on this year long purse tour and was very excited to receive the purse in the mail on Wednesday. My first thought upon opening the package was “My what a big pursey”. Kegels were not going to help the situation. Unless you happen to be a transvestite or Lady Gaga, “outlouding” the bag was going to be a near impossible task.
Contrary to my reputation, the only accessory I had tackier than that bag, was my overgrown bikini line. Since I do have standards, I took Ms. Galore for a pursey wax.
My actual purse party was Friday night and you can read the details reported by Marcus Griffith of the Vancouver Voice. I also want to read Lori’s fictionalized account of what happened before I write what really did. Tomorrow morning I will reveal the down and dirty details of what REALLY happened between:
and
In the mean time, please consider donating to the American Stroke Association either through me or at www.projectpurseandboots.com. It all goes to the same place I am just highly competitive (so let me know if you donate!) and want to know home much money I raised for the cause and want to make sure that this 2 day hangover was worth it. Who am I kidding? Of course it was.
So, Pursey fed chickens??
Did you email the paper ahead of time? I'm getting it in a few weeks, and I was pondering what to attempt.
love that you had it while feeding chickens.
I am so worried that whatever I write will in no way live up to actual events.
But, I will do my best.
And Pursey's first wax, ex? The first one's always the hardest. I hope she had some Seagram's ahead of time.
Even before the details I fear you have set the bar very high!
"my what a big pursey" is not something a girl wants to hear.
but your big pursey suits you fabulously!
You rock, Poppy.
I am so scared to get Pursey. I"m not this creative. I may just focus on getting a hell of a lot of money as a distraction.
Poppy I can't believe I almost missed this post because I read all of your posts! Thanks for the link
Pursey wax…love it!
I have no doubt you will rake it in sister. I had less than 2 weeks to plan and used sex appeal. Not mine of course, but gladly pimped out my friends.
Nothing like a little hometown fundraising!
Did you see that I linked transvestite to your blog
XOXO
Love the pic of you wearing a trench, sporting the purse, and feeding the chickens.
