It’s weird to see girls when they have their arm in a ‘fancy bag holding position.’ It seems like they have a lot of ‘attitude.’ While I have seen this arm-position being utilized in photographs of famous celebrities skanks-who-are-in2-fashion, I feel like I have seen this pose more often in ‘lil cunts’ who are ‘middle-upper-class but think they are rich. [via suburbia]‘ Girls who are ‘into fashion’ and ‘just want to seem really deep/cunty-in-a-cool-way.’
It’s weird to see people in public who ‘act like they are famous’ or something. Feel like people are ’seriously disturbed’ when they have mannerisms + personal branding decisions that can only be appropriated to ’some1 trying to seem the way a famous person would act.’ Need 2 start exploring how ‘fame’ makes me feel more often.
I’m not sure if having ur arm in this cunty purse-holding position is a functional decision. I feel like this pose is often used when ur holding a large, heavy purse, so it is possibly a matter of ‘properly balancing a load.’ It seems like the broad might have to use her elbow to ‘keep the purse pushed back’ so that she can ’showcase her outfit.’
Seems like something that ‘high fashion bitches’ do.
Seems like a ‘fad’ that ‘cunts’ copy thereby spreading 2 suburbia.
Feel like it might actually ‘be functional’ if you are a ‘very small woman.’ But in that case, you should consider a ‘back pack.’
Sorta just wish women would buy ergonomically designed purses. Feel like women need to make better decisions being able to carry a baby in one arm, and baby supplies in the other.
It’s hard for me to understand why women need 2 carry ’so much shit.’ I think they are insecure and ‘worry too much’ about how they look. Also possibly are worried about ‘getting/looking old’ too much. I wish that women who were obsessed with ‘life being terminal’ would have a child, and shift their focus to ‘caring for a lil person who came out of their wombs.’ I think that is actually part of eVolution/the Circle of Life.
Feel very worried about women, and the stress that they are putting on their bodies. Not sure if having ‘the arm’ is a good personal branding choice. I think that there are a lot of things wrong with the concept of a ‘purse’ in the modern world. Feel like women should try to be more like men, and just carry a wallet in their ass-pockets or something. Maybe they would ‘feel more equal’ and ‘less weighed down.’
Worried about the spinal cords of lil girls carrying bags that are too heavy. Wish a designer would come along and change everything. Wish men and women were ‘truly equal.’

i hold my purse like that but only because my purse tend to fall off my shoulder and holding it like that is more convenient.

it’s because some bags don’t fit over your arm and are therefore called “handheld” bags. common sense crls. totes functional, you just don’t understand the women.

ugh
the first thing i thought was:
“girl’s arms are only good for tug jobs”
i feel bad, cause i know that isnt completely true
and now i am worried i am a secret sexist
:-/
yesterday i realized that my ex-gf (of like 2.35 fucking yrs) was really judgmental. i just never noticed, cause i was too busy getting b-jobs. so i thought all girls were that way, and now i feel like i am lost and i dont really know what a girl ‘is’ or how they think/feel about other ppl.
i have to rethink how i think about girls
i kno their arms arent ‘just for tugs’
but does my heart kno that?
what do u think?
what does your heart think?
plz let me kno, i am soo confused and scared and a lil sad, and i never got to fuck that hott girl that was down with getting drunk and fucking and <3ed Apple stuff whose comment i commented on a couple blogp0sts back.

remember the size of a woman’s purse is in direct correlation to the size of her snatch
the arm and fist merely symbolize the size man she desires to “fill” her needs
or size arm and fist she desires from her lady-lover to “fill” her needs
basically its just a dick in the pussy

honestly carles somedays girls just have to carry lots of shit. mostly during the week. us girls often have a “week” bag and a “weekend bag”.my big old purse is good for when i run lots of errands, it is a “week bag” . its like a backpack for girls. i put my iPod/copy of 9 stories/notebook/pens/phone/wallet/powder/lipbalm/metrocard in there along with RXs for asthma meds/ecofriendly 4pks of toilet paper/kombucha and then i go home and unload it all.
its nice when it is time for the “weekend bag”, cause that shit gets strapped around my body and becomes a ccellphone/wallet/lipstick/flask carrier, and all is well in the world.
fuck bitches with 3000 hermes bags, you dont even get to pick the color!

@lolz,
i am not auth enough to have a tumblr, but for u i might make 1
i shave periodically, and my mustache was recently cut down. but its okay, cause i grow facial hair rapidly
and im still in college
just learned how to dance on sunday at my first real concert at 12:03 AM.
DJ Bad Boy Bill was playing
i wasnt rollin on E, or *rly* drunk like evry1 else there, but i still had glow-stick bracelets
i learned the ’shrug dance’
i smiled on the inside and wished i was cool enough to be a hipster, but ironic enough to deny being 1
am i too self aware?

As a femme I would like to say/write that as a teen me and my bros called this “crane arm” and most girls do it not just clebs. Girls develop crane arm and other odd arm poses cos we usually don’t have pockets to shove our hands into like boys. If we do have pockets they are usually slit like so you can shove your thumb in one.

I’ve always walked like that. I get it from my mom and I’ve had friends ask why I put my arms up like that, but I even do it carrying groceries. Even when I’m sitting at a table, my hand is up like that lol and my sister slaps my hand and tells me it looks stupid, but I can’t help it.
