Without going into too much detail, just in case yours is unique and a lurker sees you/someone with it or something similar, how would you describe your umbrella?

Conservative?
An extension of your personality?
How many do you have?
How many have you lost! :doh:

What's the fascination with umbrellas at the moment? Oh, only because it have been raining for the past two days here, will probably have more. The one I have - had for ages - is slightly broken now so I will have to turn my thoughts to getting a new one. Pity. I really like the colour. No, it is not black, blue or red! :lol:

When it is raining, I do like to see a mixture of colours/patterns. It brightens up the staple of... black umbrellas, most of which were probably bought just a few seconds prior! :lol: (Been there, done that.)

1. I don't have one.
2. People who do have them ought to take a driving test first as they are the only offensive weopan one can legally carry in the street (In the UK)
3. I think the right to defend oneself with a sharp sabre, so one can slice off any umbrella that comes within a foot of one's face.
4. What's wrong with wearing a hat/hood or even getting wet come to that.
5. OK for fishermen and golfers and small children.

rotfl! Spoken like a man though, who doesn't spend hours at the hairdresser! :tongue: Not even one looks like Juilette Binoche when they have just been in the rain, you know!
 
I have a black "tote" brand one. Small but a button gets it up and a button quickly folds it. hate struggling with them otherwise. Only lost one tote in the past 4 years...but then I only use umbrellas when it is really coming down. Too much bother otherwise. ;-)
 
btm, pacion is right on... although i am more likely to eschew umbrellas than most ladies, still, i refuse to be rained upon prior to a social event & thus appear worse than a wet cat as i walk through the door...

i do so love the glamour of long wrapped scarves over umbrellas, tho...:cool:
 
currently mine is bright pink.... I've been trying to find one of the ones that funeral homes (and maybe limo drivers too?) use. They're much bigger so you can fit a couple people under them and they are constructed w/ over-lapping flaps so that the wind can safely exit w/out ruining the umbrella or letting rain in.... anyone know where to find one of these?
 
Mine's the smallest one I could find. It's just plain black, no bells/whistles/buttons, and I lost the little sleeve for it. I got it specifically for commuting, and I always have it with me when I do. I learned the hard way that trying to just bring my umbrella when it was going to rain was stupid--it never rained when i had it, and it always rained when i didn't.

My dad has one (and it's truly my dad's, not my parents', lol) that I love, and I've never seen anything like it. It's got this beautiful twisted-looking wooden handle, with a brass wrist chain. And the umbrella part itself is red with a gorgeous design on it. He got it years ago when my parents were first married. They'd stopped to help some elderly women change a flat tire on the side of the road. The ladies held the umbrella over him while he worked, and afterwards they gave it to him to thank him.
