a friend of mine loves the Dump The Purse routine. When she meets new chicks she says: "Okay, what's your story--Reader's Digest version--lemme see what you're packing" and most women happily comply.
And since we are all admitted voyeurs and exhibitionists here--hence our collective presence in the Blogosphere--I am showing you mine so let's see yours.
Oh, and I hereby specifically challenge Mel ('cause EVERYONE wants to see what The Church Lady has in her purse) and Steph (ditto The Nun--I mean--really-- I cannot wait), eb (cause the lesbians from Texas MUST be included) and Grace (Because she is as big of a bi-atch as I am and I would love to see what is in her trendy bi-atch bag, plus Grace is an awesome name) to dump your purses and show us what your packin'. Ladies, I am waiting.
PS: (If I didn't invite you to dump and you feel so inclined, please, by all means, share away!)
Now, here is an inventory of the contents that my purse vomited onto the dining room table today: (clockwise from the top) hair clip, Hello Kitty CD holder, lipstick, appt. book with press pass in black case on top, open wallet with Batman action figure and restauraunt receipt on top (Lanna Thai restaurant with Anne at lunchtime day before yesterday. I had the Pad Thai with chicken) a wrapped biscotti from Starbucks that has been in my purse since December, pack of matches from Don Giovanni's restaurant on W. 44th Street in NYC, doggie cookie, notebook with lip gloss on top (Revlon Color Stay--"Flesh"), more matches, silk sunglasses case, cell phone, more matches, Robin action figure (he and Batman are apparently temporarily separated), doggie cookie, iPod Nano in pink leather case purchased at Target (yesssssssssssss!), pressed powder compact, assorted pens, credit card case, loose change, nail polish, doggie cookie, highlighter pen, turquoise bracelet.

I swear to the heavens I'm a girl but I haven't carried a purse in 22 years. My wallet (a travel-style strapped thingie, which normally resides under the front seat of my car) has normal wallet stuff and a nail file. My pocket always has lip gloss. I really don't need anything else.
When I travel I can put my passport into the wallet. With that an my American Express card, the world is my oyster.
My current purse is a soft black bag with four zippers from Wilson Leather, purchased at a thrift store. Here is what it contains:
Unused Fred Meyer coupons for Frigo String Cheese (2 for $5), and 12-Pack Big K Pop or Lay's Potato Chips
Kyocera cell phone
Blue Papermate ballpoint pen
10 Advils wrapped in foil because I couldn't find a small container for them and I needed to take Advil to the beach
1 unopened pack Orbit gum, Cinnamint flavor
Kenneth Cole black wallet, purchased at Value Village for $6.99
Fred Meyer receipt for photo developing
Top Foods receipt for sandwich and Dr. Pepper
Glide dental floss

Empty film cannister
Maybelline lipstick, Plum Crazy
Tiny lime green dragonfly shaped hair clip for my daughter who wore it twenty minutes at church
That's it! I just cleaned out my purse before I went to the ocean for the weekend.
