The murse on 18th St. NW

Canvas bag in window at Meeps

I saw this bag (above) in the window of Meeps on 18th.  It had potential as a man bag or murse, which is what the Urban Dictionary defines as “a man-purse -- very fashion-forward right now, seen on many hipster guys” and something that can be also be used to carry a laptop computer. 

Design that takes ordinary item, a military green canvass bag, and then adds art has appeal. The art on the Meeps bag preserves its original rugged, utilitarian and practical look even as the art turns the bag into a canvas.

I also have a military style canvas bag (photo to the right), and attached a button with an iconic image of Marilyn Monroe, a fast design shortcut but not nearly as effective or interesting as the bag in the Meeps window.

Thoughts about Tennesse

Tennessee State Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were removed from the legislature because they are Black and liberal. This is racism and bigotry in all its ugliness. This is joined by the Supreme Court, which allows voting suppression to flourish again. I can't believe the path this nation is on. I just can't. But then, when you peel back the covers a little, you find the racism and blind hatred that has always been a part of this country has never disappeared until the Republicans unleashed it. It should be clear why participation in the political process matters. In DC, that usually isn't an issue. Our problem is we are denied representation in Congress, and our local laws exist at the pleasure of Congress. Something has to change.
