Okay ladies, I have had an inspiration :lol: How many of you find that you end up dancing around your handbag when out? Guys, does this ever happen to you? That you are dancing around your lady friends/wives handbags :lol:

Huh? :roll: :lol:

If you're asking what I think you're asking, I rarely take one. I just tuck a few (very few! few enough to be expendable) dollars in the zipper compartment of my shoe bag and don't worry about it at all. No valuables to guard that way.

I haven't encountered any partner dancing with her handbag, but if she did shouldn't she be handling it like a man does his sporran? (that pouch hanging in front of a Scotsman's kilt -- hey, I said "pouch", not "paunch" [grin])

When we dance we're supposed to move our sporran over to our left side where it's out of the way. So by analogy I would think that a woman who dances with her handbag should be keeping it over on her right side where it should be out of the way.

Though if the handbag has a long strap, I can imagine that it would act like a mace if we lead her into a spin.

A mace? Methinks not! A flail! Ouch!

Club dancing, yes, unless you have a small handbag that can go over your head / shoulder.

If I go out ballroom dancing there is usually a group of us where we don't all get up at once and the handbags are left at the table or with someone to look after. Have never "couple" danced with a handbag, that would be a real problem! :oops:

Ten years or so ago there used to be a style. A little wallet/handbag on a leather string. That thing was perfect for clubbing. Unfortunately, it's just a bit passe these days.

When I take a bag with me I either give it to a bartender to hold it for me or I hide it somewhere (behind a trashcan or atm machine). Also since I see the same people out dancing every week I just leave my purse there and so far no one has ever taken it. But I never walk around with my purse because I think it would prevent guys from asking me to dance.

I hate handbags! But when I carry one, I let it somewhere on a table with my friends... there is always someone sitting down... :)

What about at wedding receptions, discos :shock: (for the more mature folk :wink: :lol: ), house parties etc?

I'm weird, I guess. I rarely carry a handbag in any of those sitations. I just leave in the trunk (boot) and go in, unless I need something, like lipstick or makeup, from my purse.

Like I said, I'm weird. Most women I know can't be parted from their handbag that long without serious withdrawal symptoms. :lol: 8)

yeah.. that's what i do too. i figure there will always be someone sitting or not dancing or something so i'll just leave whatever i'm carrying with them
