Diary of the suitcase nuts
Help I need a new suitcase! I have a huge expensive one but last time I went to glide onto the airplane they told me my suitcase was to heavy!!! You simply cannot imagine the horror I felt having to switch my suitcase around and IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE. I need to buy a smaller yet no less efficiant and beautiful suitcase. I need it to be femine yet tough, attractive yet handsome. I also need the suitcase to be pink if at all possible! Any tips on brands, stores ideas will help me on my trip to Disney World. **smooch**

There's a pink set for you in Macy's sale http://www.macys.com/:
Diane von Furstenberg "Hearts" 3- Piece Set (no-one will think you didn't pay the full $800)
but if I were you I would go for zebra print, especially for Disney World. It is what your public would expect.

muffin,
Since you're looking for the "feminine yet tough" style of luggage, look no further than the resiliant Disney Princess Bags. You may recall those darned princesses have certainly had their fair share of hardships: kicked out of the palace by stepmom, poisoned by a wicked witch, mauled by an overbearing oaf, practically drowned by an eight-legged sea creature - and the list goes on! Each have been sent packing yet have emerged unscathed.
With one of their personal bags, perhaps Prince Charming will come to your aide should you need assistance. I hear he's got a pretty good *smooch* himself!

Muffin, Sweetie! Where have you kept your entertaining self lately??
I would check out ebags.com. I entered "pink" in their search box and came up with a few cute pink purses and the bonus the $ goes to the Susan G. Koman foundation!
PLUS, they have quite a few choices of pink luggage for you to choose from but I worry. Will your bag be the right shade of pink to match your travel outfit? Our little Muffin should always look perfect going to Disney. Don't forget to look for a pink water bottle--must keep hydrated to stand on those lines!!

Muffin **smooch** dear.
Don't waste money on expensive designer bags! Make your own!
MuffCases!
Go to your nearest craft store and purchase a hot glue gun, yards of pink feather boa, silver spray paint, and silver sequines.
Purchase a cheap 22 inch pullman and remove all tags.
Paint the outside of the Muffcase silver as well as the handles silver. Recoat as much as needed to get rid of the paint drips and cover black nylon. This will also waterproof said Muffcase.
While paint is tacky, add sequins using hot glue gun.
When paint and sequins have set, use hot glue gun to glue pink feather boa around all seams on Muffcase.
You'll never have to experience the dread and horror of someone accidently mistaking your Muffcase for their suitcase! Your sequins may fall off and get all over everone elses luggage but won't you be doing them a favor beautifying their drab sad luggage?

Pink sounds adorable, but once the baggage handlers have gotten their hands on it, it will be pink no more!
We spent a ton of $$ on new Hartmann luggage, a brown tweed. It had oil stains after the first trip!

GoTravel suggests to add the sequins whilst the paint is still "tacky".... my observation is that muffin would have years, not just minutes, to add the sequins as the paint would always be "tacky".....

Peasant?
Mocking?
Never.
I just loved the way the phrase was written. It is correct, because paint does have a tacky state.
ncgrrl, owner of a glue gun and a bunch of paint -- though it's in a least quart sized containers and for doing fun things like painting walls, not suitcases.

Where's your sense for fashion, Faina??? Even I, a guy, know that pink and black work fine together. ;-)
Have you thought about commissioning Gucci, muffin? I don't think any run-of-the-mill $800 bag will do for you.

, but we may not be thinking of the same muffin. I purposefully didn't comment on your recommended baggage treatment... did someone say tacky? muffin, is that you??
