Jack Bauer Adventure Messenger Bag
I use to hate tv. I never watched it. That was until I discovered the tv series 24. I don’t know why it’s so addicting, I mean most of the time you are saying in your head “real life this would never happen”, but it’s still addicting. It must be that Jack Bauer.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, or at least have no idea as to who this Jack Bauer character is, then here is a brief summary of the plot: Federal Agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) can’t afford to always play by the rules. As a member of the L.A. Counter Terrorist Unit, Jack must stop bombs, viruses, assassination attempts, and usually save someone he cares about at the same time. Every season of this series has 24 episodes, each unfolding in real time following a consecutive hour in one very bad day. . . . one day in particular he was spotted with the “Jack Bauer’s Adventure Bag”.

The Jack Bauer’s Adventure Bag is basically your standard military bag that features what you would expect – a front flap, secured with an 11-inch strip of Velcro, hides the large super roomy main compartment. There is a smaller separate zippered pouch where smaller items may be stowed in. There are two additional exterior side pockets for easy access. Price is only $25 via amazon

You know really though, I am not 100% positive that this is the identical bag used on 24, but it is called the “Jack Bauer’s Adventure Bag”

Terrence Howard | Barbero Sicily Clutch
Pictured above is Terrence Howard at the Oscars earlier this year with a $34,000 alligator and diamond-encrusted European-inspired Borsa evening bag by Barbero Sicily.

“A man needs a bag” – Terrence Howard said at the Oscars
I couldn’t agree more with Terrence. However, $34k for such a small accessory? Maybe it’s just me but I don’t even like the shape, it’s far too boring for that price. However, I do like the 2.5 carat diamond-encrusted thumb ring.

Opinions? Yay or Nay?

Anya Hindmarch | ‘Be a Bag’ Tote | View!
The Anya Hindmarch ‘Be a Bag’ tote – the name describes it all. You send in your photo and they plaster your image on the front of the bag for approximately $367.

A man bag? Uhm, kinda sorta. It’s a bag that is suitable for any gender, and as you see below Mr. Furnish is showing off his ‘Be a Bag’ Tote.

Celebrity | David Furnish | Anya Hindmarch ‘Be a Bag’ tote
David Furnish (Elton John’s significant other) was recently spotted with an Anya Hindmarch ‘Be a Bag’ tote. Usually when I see people toting around the bags publicizing their face or their kids face plastered on the side, I’m generally not that impressed and usually don’t take even take a second glance. That doesn’t apply here, David Furnish actually choose a decent design – Slightly kooky but I like the oversized glasses look.

Prada | Traveling Bag | View!
Brief little history of the Prada Nylon Bags: Miuccia Prada (granddaughter of Mario Prada) designed the black water-resistant backpacks since 1970, out of a nylon fabric called “Pocone”. Then in 1985 Miuccia created the classic Prada handbag that was made of the same sleek black nylon fabric – The Classic Nylon. The bag became an instant hit, so people say. I was only a newborn at the time and new nothing of fashion, but history tells us that this bag was hot and sold out like there was no tomorrow. Of course we all know that with popularity comes logo image damage. Within month of production you could find replica’s being sold in the truck of cars, on the side walks and even at purse parties. I’m not saying that Prada image is completely ruined, people still love the label today, just not I (referring to the nylon not the runway collections). It’s not the fact that there are many replicas out there roaming the streets but rather I don’t want to carry a bag that has an over-worn over-used image. (The last sentence does not apply to Louis Vuitton. . . at this moment in time.)

Pictured above is a travel bag from the Classic Nylon collection. The bag combines classic style and function for traveling wear-and-tear. Made of durable waterproof nylon fabric and trimmed with calfskin leather and topped off with an embossed Prada logo tag with lock and key. Yes your belongings will be safe while you are on the go with the mini stylish padlock.

Only one left at Amazon! The 40% off price tag could have something to do with that.

Look at Chewbacca he had the ultimate man bag – It’s not a purse! It’s a Man Bag!

Let’s face it Chewbacca was one of the early trend setters that supported men all over the world with the notion that it is okay for a guy to be seen carrying a bags. By all means, I am not saying pull-a-Cisco Alder here and be seen in public wearing a Dior Gaucho, because that’s a purse that only a (rare) few guys can pull off.
